Sri Lanka hands Pakistan first test series loss in UAE
Print Edition
Dilruwan Perera grabbed 5-98 as the offspinner anchored Sri Lanka to a 68-run victory against Pakistan in the second test and clinched the two-match series 2-0 yesterday.
Chasing 317 to win, Asad Shafiq scored a valiant 112 before Pakistan was bowled out for 248 inside the first session on day five in Dubai. Sri Lanka won the first test by 21 runs in Abu Dhabi and handed Pakistan its first test series loss in the United Arab Emirates since 2010, when the gulf country became its home away from home. Sarfraz Ahmed scored a fighting 68, but when Perera induced a top edge of the Pakistan captain’s mistimed sweep and broke the 173-run stand with Shafiq, Pakistan lost its last five wickets for 23 runs.
