Sri Lanka destroy Pakistan to clinch the series 2-1

Dhammika Prasad chipped in with 2 wickets as the hosts bowled Pakistan out for 102

Dambulla: Seamer Thisara Perera claimed 4-34 and Tillakartane Dilshan hit an unbeaten 50 as Sri Lanka trounced Pakistan by seven wickets in the final one-dayer on Saturday to clinch the series 2-1.

Dhammika Prasad chipped in with two wickets as the hosts bowled Pakistan out for 102 and then surpassed the Duckworth-Lewis target of 101 in the 19th over of a one-sided game.

An hour-long rain interruption after Pakistan had slumped to 81-8 in the 26th over of the first session forced the umpires to reduce the game to 48-overs-a-side. Sri Lanka galloped home in style to build on the 2-0 sweep in the Test series.
