Akram, the only bowler in history to take more than 400 wickets in both Tests and one-dayers, teamed up with long-time partner and current captain Waqar Younis to rip through Sri Lanka's top order. Sri Lanka electing to bat in the return game, after having won its first against Pakistan, by 41 runs, was reduced to 41 for 4 by the dreaded pair. Marvan Atapattu came to Sri Lanka's rescue with an unbeaten 77, leading a dramatic revival that set Pakistan a target of 4.8 runs an over in the day-night International. Atapattu put on 91 for the fifth wicket with Russel Arnold (41) and a run-a-ball 107 for the sixth with Upul Chandana, who hit a career-best 64. Chandana was bowled off the final delivery of the innings after helping Sri Lanka plunder 70 runs in the last 10 overs.
