Pakistan make short work of Sri Lanka's test
 |
| Shoaib Malik |
A deliberate Ahmed Shehzad, a spry Shoaib Malik
and a combative Umar Akmal hit 46 runs each to convey Pakistan to 175 for
5, an aggregate Sri Lanka's pursuit never had the measure of. Milinda
Siriwardana and Chamara Kapugedera played brisk innings from the lower center
request, however Pakistan were dependably top choices to shield their score,
having had the hosts at 19 for 3 in the fourth over. Sohail Tanvir was prime
destroyer with the new ball, and completed with figures of 3 for 29 from his
four overs. The hosts missed the mark by 29 runs.

| Ahmed Shehzad |
Shehzad had been instrumental to
giving the stage, yet it was Malik and
Akmal's fourth-wicket charge that asserted control of the match for Pakistan.
They met up amidst the twelfth over and impacted 81 keeps running from 45
balls, taking a specific getting a kick out of the chance to Lasith Malinga,
whose three overs to the pair cost 37 runs.

Debutant left-arm seamer Binura Fernando wasn't
saved either, going at 9.5 in his four overs. Despite the fact that legspinner
Jeffrey Vandersay gave back the most conservative figures of the innings,
Malinga did not utilize any of his supplementary twist choices.
Pakistan had started their innings with a wobble
too, losing Mukhtar Ahmed to Angelo Mathews' tight lines in the second over, as
the guests neglected to hit a limit in the initial 20 balls. They advanced at
seven an over amid the Powerplay and, in spite of the fact that they would soon
lose Hafeez also, were poked ahead by Shehzad's
relentless hand. He hit just four limits off 38 balls, depending rather on very
much weighted strokes into the outfield.
His messed up incline shot off Thisara Perera
united Malik and Akmal, and the pair
saw out the end of Vandersay - who sent down his full standard without yielding
a limit - before training in on the seamers. They hammered a four each off
Malinga's wayward fourteenth over, took 11 off Mathews next up, and afterward
Akmal pummeled two progressive sixes, including a snare, off Fernando's well
disposed crease rocking the bowling alley to harvest 17 keeps running from the
sixteenth.

The loot proceeded with from that point - Akmal
succeeding with a variety of cuts and trudges, Malik squeezing forward with somewhat more culture. Akmal
dispatched an endeavored Malinga yorker high over long-on for six to come quite
close to a half-century, yet the bowler kicked it into high gear the following
ball right. He caught Akmal plumb before the stumps with the last bundle of the
penultimate over to leave the batsman with 46 from 24.
Malik stayed unbeaten toward the end of the
innings, having confronted 31 conveyances, of which just five were spot balls.
Malinga's figures, in the interim, were just somewhat recovered by the wicket.
He had 46 for 1 from his full designation of overs.

Kusal Perera pointed a leg-side hurl off Anwar
Ali third bundle of the pursuit, yet oversaw just a top-edge to mid-on.
Tillakaratne Dilshan edged a seaming Tanvir conveyance behind next over, before
Kithuruwan Vithanage soon tumbled to the same bowler, diverting a full
conveyance onto his stumps.
Mathews and debutant Siriwardana endeavored a
recuperation, yet neither one of the batsmans dealt with the limits that would
have kept Sri Lanka in sight of the obliged rate. At the point when Mathews was
knocked down some pins by Imad Wasim toward the end of the tenth over, Sri
Lanka required more than 12 runs an over.
Siriwardana, one of the four T20 debutants for
Sri Lanka in this diversion, gave some trust clean hitting, basically off the
spinners. His strike over long-on off Shahid Afridi was especially critical,
however apparently, Kapugedera's hitting was far and away superior. Playing his
first match for Sri Lanka since June 2012, he waltzed down the pitch to
dispatch Malik into the sightscreen
off his second ball, then raised Tanvir's last bundle of the day over the
spread rope with a sluggish expansion of the arms. Siriwardana was rejected for
35 off 18, Kapugedera stayed not out at 31 from 16.
