That brings the T20s to an end. After a couple of one-siders the thriller had the perks of unintentional delayed gratification. Play-wise, there was sloppy fielding and running. But the batting at the top from Sri Lanka was commendable, as was the bowling. Pakistan have played to the conditions with perfection. They have unearthed a gem in the form of Tuba Hassan. Keep an eye out for her in the future. Hopefully, we see exciting talent from Sri Lanka as well. An opportunity for that might arrive in the ODI series starting on the first of June. Join us then as we bring you the live coverage. For now, it's goodbye from me, Ekanth, on behalf of my fellow commentator, Danyal Rasool, and our scorer, K Vairavan.

Bismah Maroof, Pakistan Captain, for the POTM and two run outs: Credit to the players. It was great to watch, a dream debut for Tuba. Hope she continues. Ideal to give to the youngsters who have responded well. We want to continue the momentum for the important ODI series as that carries points as well.

Chamari Athapaththu, Sri Lanka Captain: We tried to score more. The start was good but the run outs set us back. Some players focus too much on getting singles and are not trusting their hitting abilities. That's leading to run outs. There are positives as we fought till the end. Hope the girls come good for the ODIs.

Tuba Hassan is the POTS: It feels amazing. I am grateful for the captain and the support staff for their assistance. My aim was to hit good lengths and it just went right for me. I hope to carry the work forward.

Sumail Hussain: "I think both teams have played ordinary cricket through out the series. The modern cricket requires the 150 score at least. We need to learn from other teams." Sri Lanka, yes. But the slow pitches made it hard to hit big with batters needing to manufacture power. Spin was also high. The fielding was ordinary.

Nitesh Paliwal: "5 Run outs in a single inning in any format. Does it make entry in record book?" It will join a long-list as the second-highest number of run outs in an innings in a Women's T20I.

The kids in the stands are thrilled as the players shake hands. We'll be back with the presentations.

5:07 pm: After a couple of one-sided wins, Pakistan clinch a thriller. They started slow with the bat. Muneeba was set but had chewed up a few balls. Nida Dar came in to add intent. The bowlers were going well, Oshadi was magnificent. Kavisha was good but the captain, coming on in the 19th over, gave away easy extras. Bismah's tactical nous was in full flow as she handed the big-hitting responsibilities to her partners while pinching twos and ticking over with placing balls into gaps and running quick. For Sri Lanka, it was a case of so near, yet so far.
