PAK vs SL Match 5 Results

12:33 PM IST That's a wrap - After all the thrills and spills of the first four games, this one turned out to be a lopsided affair, and it ended whatever hope England had left. They are back in action on Thursday, 29 October, when they take on Sri Lanka in the final round-robin game. Harry Brook’s side is yet to win a game on this tour, and they will want to end it on a high. Sri Lanka, already through to the final, will use the match to fine-tune ahead of the big day. The first ball is due to be bowled at 8 am GMT, and we look forward to your company then. For now, you can switch tabs and follow the action unfolding across the globe on what is an action-packed Tuesday. Cheers!

12:28 PM IST PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Quite an obvious choice, as Dilshan Madushanka takes home the award for his career-best figures of 5/34 in 8.3 overs, including a maiden.

12:19 PM IST Chased down without any fuss - Defending just 110, Pakistan needed everything to go their way, and Saad Baig dropping Kamindu Mendis in the very first over made it harder. From there, it was the familiar story of a side with little to play with. The pacers went hunting for wickets, sprayed it all around, and Sri Lanka cashed in. Kamindu dealt in boundaries to ease any early nerves and set his side on their way. He went on to bring up his first fifty of the tour and stayed unbeaten, which should give him a good confidence boost going ahead.

12:17 PM IST Madushanka’s day out - With a place in the final already secured, Pakistan went into this game looking for answers at the top of the order. Instead, the same problems came back. Three wickets fell inside the first Powerplay, and there was no coming back from there as Sri Lanka kept chipping away. None of the Pakistan batters took responsibility or showed the resolve to hang in there, and it ended up being a meek surrender. Dilshan Madushanka led the way with career-best figures of 5/34, and the rest of the attack supported him well. The fielders backed them up as Sri Lanka produced a clinical performance with a place in the final up for grabs.

12:11 PM IST Sri Lanka are through to the final - It could not have been a more clinical win from the Lankans, and it sets up an all-Asian final, with England left to play for pride in their last game. The bat did the talking when Sri Lanka chased down a record target against England the other night. Today it was the ball that set up the win. It was also a day that summed up the unpredictable nature of Pakistan cricket. This was the same side that showed the fight to snatch a win from the jaws of defeat, and today they simply did not put up a fight.
