Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka by eight wickets in the second ODI in Rawalpindi, clinching the series 2-0 amid security concerns following a suicide bombing in Islamabad. Despite some Sri Lankan players requesting to return home, their board mandated they stay, leading to increased security measures for the team. Babar Azam scored a century, guiding Pakistan to chase down Sri Lanka’s 289 runs with ten balls to spare, while Haris Rauf claimed three wickets. The final ODI is set for Sunday before a T20 tri-series with Zimbabwe.
