Colombo: Pakistan have completed a comfortable victory over Sri Lanka by 52 runs having bowled them out for just 120 in 18.1 overs. It was a spirited performance from them as their bowlers kept it in the right areas and were supported well by the fielders.

None of the Sri Lankan batsmen could get going. Kumar Sangakkara was the only one who got amongst the runs but found no support from the remaining middle order batsmen.

Sri Lanka started well but then lost their openers in a space of three deliveries. Sangakkara and Jayawardene restored stability and got the chase back on track but once the Sri Lankan captain fell, the visitors wasted little time in shutting the opposition out.

Earlier, Pakistan new captain Shahid Afridi won the toss and chose to bat first, everyone chipped in with the skipper leading from the front. He scored a fifty and picked up a wicket beside affecting a run-out. This is the end of the tour which Pakistan have managed to finish on a high after having lost the Test series and the first three ODIs.

After groping in the darkness for the better part of the tour, they finally unearthed gold when they landed here for the last two one-dayers and tonight they signed off in style with a comprehensive 52-run win in the one-off Twenty20.
