Both teams Pakistan and Sri Lanka are delivered a good work which is mostly taking forward by the bowlers. Obviously, there will be the target going to set by both team and if each team failed to chase down targets in the first two one-dayers, then the players will be anyway failed to deliver their charisma in the board in the third and fourth.
In the current situation, the team Pakistan romped home to seven-wicket wins. Except for Lahiru Thirimanne who is having 2 half-centuries on his kitty, and Upul Tharanga, who is blessed with 1 century alongside 1 fifty.
