Wasim leads as Pakistan dismiss Sri Lanka for 211 in third ODI
Fast bowler Mohammad Wasim grabbed three wickets to help Pakistan dismiss Sri Lanka for 211 in the third and final day-night international in Rawalpindi on Sunday.
Wasim finished with 3-47, while pace partner Haris Rauf took 2-38 and left-arm spinner Faisal Akram 2-42 as tourists were bowled out in 45.2 overs after they were sent in to bat.
Sri Lanka lost the first two ODIs in Rawalpindi and started the final match on a bad note when skipper Charith Asalanka was ruled out with a fever.
Sadeera Samarawickrama, who top-scored with 48, added 43 for the third wicket with stand-in captain Kusal Mendis (34), but the innings then fell away badly.
Pathum Nissanka scored 24 and Kamil Mishara made 29 but both openers were dismissed in quick succession by the combination of Rauf and Wasim.
Akram, playing his first international in a year, dismissed Kamindu Mendis for 10 and then Samarawickrama as the tourists slumped from 4-143 to 8-193.
Debutant Pavan Rathnayake hit a fighting 32 with a six and two boundaries before he was the last man to go, run out trying to take a second run.
Pakistan skipper Shaheen Shah Afridi and Faheem Ashraf took a wicket apiece.
