Sri Lanka won the Test series against Pakistan





Sri Lanka won its first Test series in three years after the final Test against Pakistan ended in a draw on Thursday(12-07-2012), giving the hosts a 1-0 victory across the three matches. Sri Lanka won the first Test by 209 runs at Galle, while the second Test at Colombo ended in a draw. Sri Lanka's last Test series win was against New Zealand at home in 2009.

Dinesh Chandimal (65) and Kumar Sangakkara (74 not out) shared an 88-run second wicket partnership as Sri Lanka finished on 195-4 having been set a 270-run victory target earlier in the day by Pakistan, seeking a draw to level the three-match series.
It was Sri Lanka's first series victory for almost three years when they beat New Zealand. Since then they have drawn three series and lost five.
The defeat was Pakistan's first since England beat them 3-1 in August 2010 and captain Misbah-ul-Haq's first series loss since his appointment two months later.
Earlier, Asad Shafiq (100 not out) hit his second test hundred before Pakistan declared their second innings at 380 for eight wickets.
The visitors batted for 100 minutes on the fifth and final day, allowing Shafiq to get his century before their attempt to salvage something from the series.
