The Sports Buff ⚽️ ⚾️ 🏈

A double-century from Abdullah Shafique and seven second-inning wickets from Nauman Ali, helped Pakistan win the second test by an innings and 288 runs.

This crushing win for Babar Azam’s side saw the tourists win the series 2-0. The only blot for Pakistan was that maybe they could have declared a little bit before the end of day three.

It appeared a bit negative, but upon closer inspection, the reason for the change in tactics was likely for being able to control what kind of roller could be used.

Pakistan to their credit have approached this tour with positive intent. Babar’s men were scoring around four runs an over, which is impressive.
Attacking intent, isn’t something you would associate with the Asia Cup finalists.

With this series being the start of the new World Test Championship cycle, Pakistan have got off to the best start.

The tourists batted once and made 576-5 off 134 overs, thanks to Abdullah Shafique (201) and Salman Agha (132).

Veteran spinner Nauman Ali (7-70) was responsible for running through the Sri Lanka batting line-up.
Next up for Babar Azam and Pakistan is the World Cup in India.
