Sri Lanka rout Pakistan to win series
Allrounder Thisara Perera led Sri Lanka to a seven-wicket victory on the Duckworth/Lewis Method against Pakistan in the series-deciding third and final one-day international on Saturday.
Perera grabbed 4 for 34 and tore through Pakistan's batting lineup with lively short pitched deliveries to restrict the visitors to 102 in 32.1 overs - Pakistan's second lowest ever ODI total against Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka's target was revised to 101 after rain intervened in between a flurry of Pakistan wickets and the match was cut to 48 overs a side.
Sri Lanka raced to 104 for 3 in 18.2 overs with Tillakaratne Dilshan scoring an unbeaten 50, raising his half-century by hitting the winning boundary.
Pakistan's batsmen struggled throughout the month long tour during which Sri Lanka also whitewashed them 2-0 in the Test series.
