But the familiar sight of a limp tail resurfaced to see them fall well short of all expectations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Pakistan were a dominant force allround, underlining why they were ranked number on in the world before the Asia Cup.

Only Dilshan Madushanka and to a lesser extent Maheesh Theeksheena,\u00a0 the latter returning from injury, have any reason to be happy with their input.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">All the hard work of the batters were brought undone and unless it is addressed, they could now be in serious contention for early elimination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Batting first\u00a0 Sri Lanka lost Kusal Perera early but rallied through Nissanka and Mendis, then Mendis and Samarawickrema smashed Pakistan&#8217;s attack to lift their spirits and promise of their first win.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Nissanka departed for 51 off 61 balls Kusal Mendis for the fastest century by a Sri Lankan at the World Cup 122 off 77 with 6 sixers and 14 fours, and Sadeera Samarawickrema 108 off 89 balls with 2 sixers and 14 fours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Hasan Ali was Pakistan&#8217;s best with 4 for 71.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Abdullah Shafique led Pakistan&#8217;s run chase with a quick fire 113 off 103 balls, then Sri Lanka threatened, but Mohammad Rizwan had other ideas as he stemmed the rot with a masterly 131 off 121 to see them through with 10 balls to spare.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sri Lanka will lament the lack of counter action and strategy to defend a reasonable total.
