Sri Lanka beat Pakistan by 165 runs in final ODI

Sri Lanka have defeated Pakistan by 165 runs in their fifth and final one-day international.

Despite the comfortable victory in Hambantota, the hosts lose the five-match series 3-2 overall.

The Lions reached 368-4 in their innings after electing to bat first, thanks in large to a century from Kusal Perera.

Pakistan had a weak response with the bat, as Ahmed Shehzad fell first for just 18 and Azhar Ali (35) was run out by Angelo Matthews soon after.

Mohammad Hafeez looked to add some stability, be he was also sent packing for 37 runs, while Sarfraz Ahmed (27) became the second to be run out.

That left Pakistan on 121-4, well off their opponents' tally, and things little improved when Shoaib Malik (11), Mohammad Rizwan (29), Imad Wasim (15) and Anwar Ali (11) all struggled to make an impact.

Yasir Shah (9) and Rahat Ali were the last to fall - the latter failing to get off the mark - to ensure that Sri Lanka reduced the deficit in the ODI series somewhat.
