7-star Yasir leads Pakistan to Sri Lanka test victory
Print Edition
LEG-SPINNER Yasir Shah claimed a career-best seven for 76 as Pakistan stunned Sri Lanka by 10 wickets in the first test in Galle yesterday to take the lead in the three-match series.
Yasir spun a web around the Sri Lankan batsmen to skittle them for a paltry 206 in their second innings just before tea on the fifth and final day. Pakistan, set a victory target of 90, raced home in 11.2 overs with Mohammad Hafeez unbeaten on 46 and Ahmed Shehzad on 43. It was Pakistan’s first test win in Sri Lanka since the eight-wicket triumph in Kandy in 2006. The second test starts in Colombo on Thursday. Pakistan’s remarkable recovery from 96-5 in the first innings came after the entire first day’s play had been washed out and just 64 overs were bowled on the second day.
