Pakistan bowled out for 110 as Madushanka takes five in Lahore

Pakistan were bowled out for 110 in 25.3 overs in the fifth match of the One-day International tri-series against Sri Lanka at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Tuesday, after the tourists elected to field on winning the toss.

Left-arm pacer Dilshan Madushanka led the Sri Lankan attack with a career-best five wickets for 34 runs, according to Dawn's report of the match, repeatedly troubling Pakistan's batsmen with short-pitched deliveries. The home side lost wickets from the start of the innings and never rebuilt around them.

Babar Azam top-scored with 29 off 33 balls, Dawn reported, in an innings in which no other batsman was able to settle. Dawn described the Sri Lankan bowling as disciplined and said Pakistan's innings never recovered from the early losses.

Cricinfo, in its preview of the fixture, had billed the contest at Gaddafi Stadium as a meeting at a high-scoring venue and described Sri Lanka as the "430-conquerors" heading into the game.

The report carried by Dawn did not include the outcome of Sri Lanka's reply at the time of filing, and no result from the chase was available in the material reviewed.

The match is the fifth of the ongoing tri-series, which is being played in Pakistan. Further details of the series standings and the remainder of the fixture list were not carried in the reports available.

Pakistan's total of 110 is well below what the same venue has recently produced in one-day cricket, and the collapse puts the batting order under scrutiny ahead of the remaining matches of the tournament.

This is a developing report. Skardu Times will update it when the result of Sri Lanka's innings and further details of the match are confirmed.
