Sri Lanka victory romp levels Pakistan series
Print Edition
DIMUTH Karunaratne hit 50 off 56 balls as Sri Lanka trounced Pakistan by seven wickets in the second test in Colombo yesterday to square the three-match series 1-1.
Chasing 153 to win, the hosts made light of a delayed start of 30 minutes due to a wet outfield and raced to victory in 26.3 overs before lunch on the fifth and final day at the P Sara Oval. Karunaratne and skipper Angelo Mathews added a brisk 72 for the third wicket after two wickets had fallen with the score on 49 to raise Pakistan’s hopes. Mathews remained unbeaten on 43, sharing a fourth-wicket partnership of 32 with Lahiru Thirimanne, who hit the winning boundary off leg-spinner Yasir Shah.
