August 30, 2014 02:54 pm
Thisara Perera claimed four for 34 as Sri Lanka bowled Pakistan out for 102 in the third and decisive one-day international in Dambulla on Saturday.
Fawad Alam top-scored with an unbeaten 38, but eight batsmen failed to reach double figures as Pakistan crumbled in 32.1 overs in a match that will decide the 1-1 series deadlock.
It was Pakistan’s lowest one-day total on Sri Lankan soil, falling below the 116 they made against New Zealand at the same venue in 2003.
An hour-long rain interruption after Pakistan slumped to 81-8 in the 26th over forced the umpires to reduce the game to 48-overs-a-side.
Pakistan, electing to bat after winning the toss, never recovered after losing opener Sharjeel Khan in the third over, caught at second slip off Dhammika Prasad. dawn.com
