The Sri Lankan team is once again in hot waters as it managed to score only 208 runs before being all out, with pacer Hassan Ali taking five wickets during the third day-night one-day international (ODI) against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
The openers provided a solid start to their team with a partnership of 59 runs, but then Hasan Ali took the wicket of Niroshan Dickwella.
Dinesh Chandimal was declared law before wicket (lbw) after the team managed to achieve the 100-run milestone. Subsequently, Shadab Khan got Upul Tharanga caught by Fakhar Zaman. Tharanga was the top scorer with 61 off 80.
Hassan Ali took the wicket of Kapugedara, whereas the side lost its fifth wicket in the next over when Junaid Khan took the wicket of Milinda Siriwardana. Hassan Ali then culminated the inning of Jeffrey Vandersay.
Earlier, Sri Lankan skipper Tharanga won the toss and opted to bat.
Sri Lanka, trailing the five-match series 2-0, brought in batsman Chamara Kapugedara and fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera in place of out-of-form Kusal Mendis and Suranga Lakmal.
Pakistan handed an international debut to 21-year-old Imam-ul-Haq in place of Ahmed Shehzad while Faheem Ashraf replaced Imad Wasim.
