Sri Lanka into the T20 tri-series final thanks to Chameera
Pakistan await Sri Lanka in the T20 Tri-Series final after the latter's final-over victory in Rawalpindi
Fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera has snaffled 4-20 and stifled Pakistan in the final over as Sri Lanka breezed into the final of the T20 tri-series with a six-run victory.
Pakistan, who had already qualified for Saturday's final with three successive wins, were held to 7-178 on Thursday with captain Salman Ali Agha's career-best unbeaten 63 going in vain.
Opening batter Kamil Mishra's 76 off 48 balls had earlier anchored Sri Lanka to 5-184 in a game they had to win in order to reach the final instead of Zimbabwe.

Sri Lanka 184 for 5 (Mishara 76, Mendis, 40, Abrar 2-28) beat Pakistan 178 for 7 (Salman 63, Usman 33, Chameera 4-20, Malinga 2-54) by six runs
Dushmantha Chameera held his nerve in a clutch final over to ensure Sri Lanka did not throw away a win they had spent the rest of the evening working for. He conceded three runs in the final over, building on a magnificent opening spell to deny Pakistan victory by six runs in a 184-run chase.
The stakes were higher for Sri Lanka than they were for Pakistan, with a victory required for a place in the final, or it would be Zimbabwe playing that game on Saturday. And Sri Lanka played with a hunger they have rediscovered since they finally won a game on Pakistan soil on Tuesday. Kusal Mendis and Kamil Mishara's 36-ball 66-run stand got them off to a flier, with Mishara ending up with 76 off 48 balls, and cameos lower down the order got them to 184.
