PAK vs SL: Shan Masood gathers massive praise after quick knock in warm-up game

Left-handed opener Shan Masood has all eyes of the Pakistani fans on him after he scored a quick 67-ball 83 on day one of the warm-up game against the Sri Lanka President's (SLP) XI. 

After bowling out the hosts for 196 runs, Pakistan finished day one at 160-3 in 37 overs thanks to Masood's excellent innings. The opening batter scored runs with a strike rate of 123.88. 

For his dominant performance, Masood gathered massive praise on social media. 

After Hasan Ali and Shaheen Afridi's heroics, Shan (83) carried the momentum with the bat and scored worthy runs for the visiting side.

Imam made 36 runs before getting out. Young Abdullah Shafique contributed 25 runs before walking off.

Skipper Babar Azam (14*) and Saud Shakeel (0*) will resume Pakistan's innings tomorrow.

Earlier, Shaheen and Hasan took three wickets each to help Pakistan bowl out SLP XI for 196.

After deciding to bowl first, Pakistani bowlers, especially Hassan and Shaheen, showed their dominance by picking up wickets after regular intervals.

Hassan bagged Sandun Weerakkody in no time to provide an early breakthrough to the touring party.

Abrar Ahmed then joined the party after he picked up Nuwanidu Fernando who managed to score just 19 runs.
