Champions Trophy 2017: Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by 3 wickets

Pakistan will face England in the Champions Trophy semi-finals on Wednesday after a thrilling three-wicket win over Sri Lanka in Cardiff, reports BBC.

Junaid Khan (3-40) and Hasan Ali (3-43) impressed for Pakistan as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 236, losing four wickets for six runs.

Pakistan also struggled with the bat before Captain Sarfraz Ahmed`s unbeaten 61 saw them to a memorable victory.

India will face Bangladesh in the other semi-final at Edgbaston on Thursday.

Despite making hard work of Monday`s win, it is a remarkable comeback from Pakistan after they lost their opening game of the tournament to rivals India.

If they can overcome England in Cardiff, Pakistan will contest their first Champions Trophy final on Sunday.

It is a disappointing end to the tournament for Sri Lanka, who failed to build on their stunning win over India last week.
