Zaman's stint on the field, however, did not last too long after this incident as he was promptly dismissed in the 9th over afterWanindu Hasaranga took a fantastic catch inches away from the boundary on Chamika Karunaratne's delivery, sending Zaman packing.
His performance on the pitch was nothing to write home about as he could only manage to put13 runs on the board off of 18 balls, barely bolstering The Shaheens' charge against Sri Lanka. Of the 13 runs he scored, he could only find the boundary once as he scored a four. Over the course of their innings, Pakistan could only score a total of 121.
