Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka by 6 wickets in the third ODI and completed a clean sweep in the three-match series, winning it 3–0. This victory showed Pakistan’s strong form in white-ball cricket and their ability to perform well under pressure.
Sri Lanka batted first and scored a competitive total, but Pakistan’s bowlers kept the game under control with disciplined bowling. They took important wickets at regular intervals, stopping Sri Lanka from building big partnerships.
In response, Pakistan chased the target confidently. The batting was led by Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan, who both played important half-century innings. Fakhar gave Pakistan a fast and solid start, hitting boundaries and rotating the strike well. Rizwan continued the momentum in the middle overs, keeping the pressure on Sri Lanka’s bowlers.
Their partnership made the chase easy and stable. Even after a couple of wickets, Pakistan never looked in trouble. The remaining batsmen finished the match comfortably and sealed the win.
With this result, Pakistan not only won the match but also dominated the entire series. Their performance in all three games was consistent, showing strong teamwork and confidence ahead of future tournaments.
