Sri Lanka, batting first posted a total of 312 runs on the board and in response, Pakistan were 101 for 5 wickets. It was the time when it seemed that Sri Lanka had the match if they could all out Pak within the next session. But things turned around when Saud Shakeel posted a double hundred and gave Pakistan a healthy lead of 148 runs.
Lanka’s third inning was not up to the standards and the Pakistani Bowling lineup wrapped them up in just 279 runs. Pakistan had a shaky start on Wednesday as they needed to chase down 131. Once again, Jayasuriya played a key role in the action as Sri Lanka took three early wickets. On Day 5, Pakistan had 83 to score, and Imam and Babar got off to a strong start. Due to the quick turn that was available, they lost a few wickets throughout the process, but Imam handled the situation like a veteran, struck a fifty, and led his team to victory alongside Agha Salman.
Pakistan won the match by 6 wickets and skipper Babar said “As a captain, I am impressed and happy with the performance.” This victory put Pakistan in the joint top spot with 12 points and 100% percentage points in the WTC Points table.
