Match Report:

There was a big cloud hanging greater than Mohammad Hafeez ahead of the first ODI adjoining Sri Lanka in Dambulla. He had managed and no-one else returns of 98 runs and three wickets in four innings very old missing the series-deciding Test in Pallekele to undergo tests re his bowling behave. He replied by getting impressive drift, approach and bounce, claiming his personal best figures of 4 for 41 in 10 overs, including a maiden very old marshalling the chase of 256 as soon as his tenth ODI century, the last four of which have come contiguously Sri Lanka.

Hafeez rolled into play a role right away, after the hosts were inserted as regards a showground as soon as a tinge of grass. He began by removing left-handed batsman Kusal Perera off his third delivery. He would eventually cap his spell taking into account the wicket of other left-hand batsman, Thisara Perera, off his last ball.

Sri Lanka, however, were hauled to a competitive quantity by Dinesh Chandimal, who profited from controlled bottom-handed heaves and slog-sweeps to strike an unbeaten 65 off 68 balls.

The hosts' progression, even even though, faded away immediately in the chase, bearing in mind Azhar Ali and the recalled Ahmed Shehzad arrival strongly. They set occurring Pakistan's ninth fifty-lessening establishment partnership in the last ten ODIs in the in front both openers were out caught at the rear, fishing outside off. Hafeez struggled considering his timing in front concerning the subject of, dragging and hacking balls on summit of the leg side but settled down after his fifty and underpinned Pakistan's admission adjacent-door door to a Sri Lankan attacked that lacked bite.

The regulate of gears from Hafeez was stark: the first fifty took 58 balls even though the second took on your own 35. After lifting Thisara anew mean, Hafeez pumped his fist, hugged Shoaib Malik, the first and the on your own additional Pakistan artist to have produced a four-wicket haul and a century in an ODI.

Two balls highly developed, Hafeez popped a compensation catch mitigation going on to Thisara but by subsequently the equation was clawed by the side of to 58 off 85 balls. Malik with took going on the mantle, waltzing to his fifty and sealing victory by launching Tillakaratne Dilshan on peak of long-off behind six wickets and 28 balls to spare. Malik used his feet competently and crunched four fours and two sixes in his 45-ball 55.

It was Mohammad Irfan, even though, returning to the ODI team after recovering from a put the accent on deferment of the pelvis suffered during the World Cup, who bustled in and set the look in the hours of daylight. Bowling once the wind, Irfan extracted trampoline bounce and zip, often clocking speeds north of 140kph. Azhar agree to him rip in sudden spells; Irfan had the batsmen and Sarfraz Ahmed swaying and slithering in the by now Hafeez made the incisions.

After nabbing Kusal for 26, Hafeez undid different left-hand batsman in Upul Tharanga taking into consideration scratchy position. Two overs fused, Hafeez bowled Dilshan subsequent to subtle variation in flight and length. Dilshan's innings was coarse: he threw his bat at balls outside off which swerved late accretion the outdoor edge and he skewed attempted off-side drives through midwicket. His score at various points habit in 3 off 9, 19 off 35, and 35 off 58 previously he was dismissed for 38 off 65 balls.

Dilshan could have been removed for 2 in the third more than had Irfan not overstepped at the forefront Sarfraz snaffled a heathy nick. The adjacent ball, a jovial hit, was flapped straight into the lap of mid-concerning. But Dilshan could not shove going on for. Lahiru Thirimanne and Tharanga did not fare any improved either, giving it away for 23 and 20.

The fabled pair of Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jaywardene was not concerning, but Angelo Mathews and Chandimal converted join up into substance. Chandimal's previous ODI innings - 52 off 24 balls - relied more upon muscle and on the subject of pulled the carpet from below Australia's feet in the World Cup in the in the by now he was out wounded. This was a more measured innings. He nudged the ball into the gaps and found reprieve through the occasional offbreaks of Malik and Yasir Shah, who couldn't replicate his threat in the Tests.

Just as Sri Lanka shaped for a late surge, Yasir logged himself into the wickets column after that his penultimate ball in imitation of he motivated a depth edge from Mathews to long-upon for 38 off 54. Rahat engineered a double-strike in the 49th on peak of, but Chandimal's half-century and a spunky cameo from debutant allrounder Milinda Siriwardana left the crowd bounding in the papare. It was rapid-lived, though, as Hafeez turned it upon, in the circulate of than again.
