Pakistan outplay Sri Lanka to progress ahead

Pakistan brightened their chance for a place in the semifinals with its victory against Sri Lanka.
After a goalless first half, Zahid Niaz put Pakistan ahead in the 48th minute with a fine header in a goal-mouth melee from a Sajjad Hussain cross at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka.
Sarfaraz Rasool netted the second goal for Pakistan in the 85th minute, capitalizing on a rebound shot by Shahid.
Toward the end of the match, Sri Lankan S.K. Weerasinghe found the net with a fierce shot from the top of the box, reducing the margin to one goal. His goal came minutes after Sri Lanka missed their first chance to score when a header from Kasun Jayasuriya hit the cross bar.
