ISLAMABAD: The third and last match of the Asian style kabaddi series between Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) ended in a draw here at the PAF Complex on Friday

As a result PAF clinched the series 2-0, having won the first and second matches 35-32 and 52-36, respectively, a spokesman of PAF said on Friday.

The series was a part of a bilateral sports programme between the air forces of Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

The last match was a close affair and ended in a dramatic 26-26 draw. Usman Khalid and Arsalan Maitla were the main players from PAF while Kurrupu and Rathanayake fared impressively for SLAF.
