Sri Lanka, batting first posted a total of 312 runs on the board and in response, Pakistan were 101 for 5 wickets.

But things turned around when Saud Shakeel posted a double hundred and gave Pakistan a healthy lead of 148 runs.
Lanka’s third inning was not up to the standards and the Pakistani Bowling lineup wrapped them up in just 279 runs. Pakistan had a shaky start on Wednesday as they needed to chase down 131. Once again, Jayasuriya played a key role in the action as Sri Lanka took three early wickets. On Day 5, Pakistan had 83 to score, and Imam and Babar got off to a strong start.
