LAHORE, Jan 24: A hundred from Tillakaratne Dilshan followed by devastating spells from Sri Lanka’s bowlers handed Pakistan their heaviest one-day defeat in the third and final clash here on Saturday.
Dilshan’s career-best 137 anchored his team’s impressive 309-5 in their 50 overs. Pakistan were out for just 75 in 22.5 overs, giving the tourists a massive 234-run win. The victory means Sri Lanka win the three-match series 2-1.
Sri Lanka’s decision to tour Pakistan came after a number of teams refused to play in Pakistan for security reasons. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani thanked the Sri Lankan government for allowing the team to visit Pakistan.—Agencies
