Sri Lanka wins a thriller to end series 3-2 

Sri Lanka pulled off a thrilling two-wicket victory with two balls to spare in the 5th and final ODI against Pakistan at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
Dinesh Chandimal finished with 64 not out off 70 balls and added a match-turning 40 runs for the ninth wicket with Ajantha Mandis (19 not out) to see Sri Lanka through with two balls to spare.

Pakistan, which clinched the series 3-2, was bowled out for 232 with Lasith Malinga (4-57) finally making an impact after taking just two wickets in the previous four matches.

Captain Misbah-ul-Haq top-scored with 51 while Mohammad Hafeez and Anwar Ali scored 41 each.
