KARACHI: Rangana Herath was the usual suspect as Sri Lanka ran through Pakistan to claim a memorable 21-run win on the final day of the first match in the two-Test series between the two sides.
The Abu Dhabi pitch had been docile enough for the first three days to go by without much action but the match exploded into life in the final two games as both sides struggled to cope with the spinners.
Herath starred with the ball in both innings, ending with match figures of 11-136 to claim the man of the match award as Pakistan set a new unwanted record of their lowest unachieved target.
