Pakistan beat Lanka in final ODI, Mohammad Aamer and Naved-ul-Hasan took four wickets each Sunday to lead Pakistan to a 132-run win in the final limited-overs match against Sri Lanka.
Pakistan opted to bat after winning the toss and reached 279-8 in their 50 overs at R.Premadasa Stadium. The visitors then bowled out Sri Lanka for 147 in the 35th over.
Despite the loss, Sri Lanka clinched the series 3-2 with wins in the first three matches.
Aamer struck in the third ball of Sri Lanka’s innings, having Upul Tharanga caught at slip by Umar Akmal to make it 0-1.
Nineteen runs and three overs later, Sanath Jayasuriya made 6 before he was caught by Misbah-ul-Haq off Naved.
Captain Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene put on 35, but Sangakkara’s dismissal for 16 with the total on 54 triggered a collapse and Sri Lanka was soon 74-8 and facing the prospect of being dismissed for its lowest score against Pakistan.
Thilina Kandamby and Malinga Bandara shared 61 runs for the ninth wicket. Kandamby hit 42 not out, and Bandara made 31.
Aamer also accounted for Jayawardene, Chamara Kapugedera, Anjelo Mathews to finish with 4-28.
Naved’s wickets included Jayasuriya and Sangakkara and he finished with 4-44.
Earlier, Pakistan captain Younis Khan hit 76 and Misbah made 73 not out, putting on 83 off 86 balls for the fourth wicket.
Pakistan made a bad start when Kamran Akmal was wrongfully adjudged lbw by Sri Lankan umpire Gamini Silva on the first ball of the innings.
Television replays showed Akmal got an inside edge on the ball from seamer Nuwan Kulasekera before it hit his pad.
Younis joined Imran Nazir and added 45 runs for the second wicket before Nazir was lbw to spinner Ajantha Mendis for 35.
Mohammad Yousuf made 43 off 55 balls, hitting five boundaries. He was caught by Sangakkara off Jayasuriya with the total on 113.
Younis survived a confident appeal for a catch behind on 70. A furious Sangakkara challenged Silva’s decision and also had a brief on-field argument with Younis, which could lead to the two players being penalized by the International Cricket Council.
Seam bowler Dammika Prasad bowled Younis with a yorker to end his 100-ball innings that included five boundaries, leaving the score 196-4 in the 37th over.
That brought a mini-collapse as the visitors lost three wickets for 18 runs. But Misbah and Naved combined for a 60-run partnership off 56 balls to lift their side to a respectable score.
Misbah hit five fours in 83 balls, while Naved cracked two sixes and a four to score 34 from 39 balls.
Kulaskerea returned the best bowling figures for the hosts with 3-46.
