Umar stars in comprehensive win: 4th ODI (Colombo)

Umar Akmal's maiden international hundred a rousing unbeaten 102 from 72 balls and Younis Khan's first halfcentury as captain took Pakistan to a large total and set up their first win on tour.

Batting first has been distinctly advantageous at the Premadasa and so it proved as Pakistan put up a mammoth score and then pressured the Sri Lankan batsmen into selfdestruction.

Iftikhar Anjum played a major hand claiming careerbest figures as Sri Lanka were dismissed for 175 losing their last seven wickets for 45 runs in 12.3 overs.
