Pakistan triumphs

UMAR Akmal hit a maiden century and Rao Iftikhar Anjum took his first five-wicket haul on Friday to lead Pakistan to a 146-run win over Sri Lanka in the fourth one-day international in Colombo. It was Pakistan's first win on tour after losing 0-2 in the three-test series and now trailing 1-3 in the five-match ODI series. Akmal smashed five boundaries and four sixes to score 102 not out from 72 balls. He put on a record 176-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Pakistan captain Younis Khan (89) as the visitors made 321-5. In reply, Sri Lanka was bundled out for 175 in 36 overs with Iftikhar Anjum taking 5-30 from 8.1 overs.
