Pakistan has set Sri Lanka a target of 154 runs to win in the second semi-final of the Asia Cup Rising Star. In the match being played in Doha, the capital of Qatar, Pakistan Shaheens, batting first, scored 153 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in the stipulated 20 overs, wicketkeeper-batter Ghazi Ghauri played a brilliant innings of 39 runs not out off 36 balls.

The Lions kept the Pakistani batters on a tight leash for most of the innings, but Ghazi Ghori’s knock, along with some late fireworks, has pushed them to a respectable total. With a place in the grand finale at stake, the second half promises plenty of drama 👊… pic.twitter.com/Yosdbc1E7T
