Summary
- Pakistan wins 3rd ODI by 6 wickets to complete series whitewash
- Rizwan and Talat's unbeaten 100-run stand seals victory
- Wasim Jr. takes 3 wickets to restrict Sri Lanka to 211
In a dominant display, Pakistan swept the 3-match ODI series against Sri Lanka with a convincing 6-wicket victory in the final game on November 16, 2025. After being put in to bat first, Sri Lanka were bundled out for just 211 runs in 45.2 overs, with Mohammad Wasim Jr. leading the bowling attack with 3 wickets.
Despite a bright start from the Sri Lankan openers, the middle order faltered, allowing Pakistan to take control of the innings. Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama tried to steady the ship, but the visitors kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Samarawickrama top-scored with 48, but with no substantial support from the tail, Sri Lanka were restricted to a below-par total.
In response, Pakistan comfortably chased down the target in 44.4 overs, riding on half-centuries from Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan. Rizwan remained unbeaten on 61, while Hussain Talat also made a valuable contribution of 42*. An unbroken 100-run stand between Rizwan and Talat sealed the victory for the hosts, who completed a dominant 3-0 series sweep.
Mohamamd Wasim Jr. was adjudged the Player of the Match for his impressive bowling performance, while Haris Rauf was named the Player of the Series for his consistent displays throughout the series.
