Pakistan’s Salman Ali Agha marks his international comeback with a century as his side beats Sri Lanka by 37 runs in the ODI tri-series opener in Rawalpindi.
All reports say Pakistan bat first and post 305, before Agha’s 107 off 90 balls anchors the innings. Sources also note his fourth ODI century and that he reaches his hundred in 82 deliveries, described as his fastest ODI century to date. Pakistan’s total is supported by contributions from Babar Azam (45), Saad Baig (39) and Hasan Nawaz (37). Sri Lanka’s wicket-taking is led by Eshan Malinga (four wickets) and Asitha Fernando (three).
While the cricket reports focus on the result and the statistical details of Agha’s knock, one outlet adds a personal angle, describing a heart-warming family moment shared on social media as Agha’s son watches his father score the century on television. Other cricket coverage frames the innings as a response to earlier selection setbacks, including losing Test involvement and the T20I captaincy, with Agha continuing to perform when given the chance.
