Sri Lanka vs Pakistan 5th ODI Aug 9, Result and Highlights | Colombo

Posted on 09. Aug, 2009 by Diego in Cricket

Result:
Pakistan 279 for 8 (Younis 76, Misbah 73*) beat Sri Lanka 147 (Aamer 4-28, Naved 4-44) by 132 runs

Player of the match: Naved-ul-Hasan (Pakistan)
Player of the series: T Thushara (Sri Lanka)

Pakistan wins the match against Sri Lanka by 132 runs, but Sri Lanka won the series with 3-2 as Pakistan has lost first three matches in the series. The tourists, who were defeated 2-0 in the preceding Test series, still lost the one-dayers 3-2.  Pakistan posted a total of 279-8 with the help of great effort made by skipper Younus Khan (76) and Misbah-ul-Haq (73 not out).

Sri Lankan batting was collapsed by Mohammad Aamer and Naved-ul-Hasan’s superb bowling. And the game was effectively ended as a contest once Sri Lanka slipped from 54-2 to 69-6. Aamer set the agenda with the first ball, a brute that injured Upul Tharanga’s middle finger. Naved flummoxed Sanath Jayasuriya with a superb slower delivery, putting the onus squarely on Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara.
