P13 2 Layout 1 Established 1961 13 Sports Tuesday, October 24, 2017 Pakistan whitewashes Sri Lanka 5-0 in ODI series Shinwari destroys Lankans with five-wicket burst SHARJAH: Fast bowler Usman Shinwari dominated Sri Lanka’s top order with 5-34 as Pakistan whitewashed the tourists 5-0 for another convincing nine-wicket victory in the fifth and final one-day international yes- terday. Shinwari claimed all his wickets in a 21-ball spell to dismiss Sri Lanka for 103 in only 26.2 overs. Fakhar Zaman (48) and Imam-ul-Haq (45 no) then eased to 105-1 in 20.2 overs to cap Pakistan’s string run in the ODIs in 2017 that began in June when it won the Champions Trophy. Sri Lanka’s poor run in limited-overs continued this year under captain Upul Tharanga. South Africa and India had earlier routed Sri Lanka 5-0 and the coun- try has now lost 12 ODIs in a row. Shinwari, playing in only his second ODI, claimed four of his wickets in his first two overs before adding one more to make Sri Lanka 20-5. “It wasn’t easy, but the environment of the team is as such that it gives you a lot of confi- dence,” said Shinwari, who made his ODI debut on Friday in the fourth game of the series. “It was my sec- ond game and I thought hard about it.” The last wicket pair of Dushmantha Chameera (11) and Vishwa Fernando (7) took Sri Lanka beyond the 100-run mark before No.1-ranked fast bowler Hasan Ali finished off with 2-19 by clean bowling Chameera. “The way Shinwari bowled, I guess it’s not seen quite a lot in cricket that you dismiss half the side within your first three overs,” Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed said. “The good thing is that (our) bench strength is getting stronger and stronger and more good players are coming.” Shinwari was on a hat trick in the first over when he had Sadeera Samarawickrama clean bowled for his second straight nought of the series and then lured SHARJAH: Imam UI Haq of Pakistan plays a shot during the fifth one day international (ODI) cricket match between Sri Lanka and Pakistan at Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Dinesh Chandimal to drive but only got a big outside Sharjah. — AFP edge.
