Sri Lanka lose second game by 8 wickets
-
Babar Azam rejoices scoring his 20th ODI century Abrar Ahmed jolted Sri Lanka's middle order with three wickets Fakhar Zaman celebrates his half-century
Babar Azam scored his 20th ODI century to equal the Pakistan record for the most in this format to help Pakistan seal the second ODI against Sri Lanka with a dominant 8-wicket win at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium yesterday.
The win gave Pakistan an unassailable 2-0 win in the three-match series.
The day began with a smart decision from Pakistan’s stand-in captain Salman Aghar (who substituted for Shaheen Afridi who did not play due to illness) to bowl first. Sri Lanka saw a few batters get starts, but Abrar Ahmed’s strikes through the middle-overs stalled their momentum. The visitors recovered somewhat through valuable contributions from their lower-middle order, with Janith Liyanage and Kamindu Mendis stitching together an important stand that helped them edge towards a competitive total of 288-8.
