Pakistan team poses with the series trophy - SLC

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) management committee chairman Zaka Ashraf has congratulated Babar Azam and the company for winning two-match Test series 2-0 against Sri Lanka at their home. 

The green caps beat Sri Lanka by an innings and 222 runs in second Test to seal the series 2-0. 

"Pakistan team played really well and they deserve all the praise for starting the new ICC Test Championship cycle on a winning note," said Ashraf. 

"This victory shows the hard work and potential of our players. Congratulations to Babar Azam and the whole team. This victory will boost our confidence ahead of Asia Cup and World Cup," he added. 

On day 4 of the second Test, Naseem Shah set the tone for Nauman Ali who was brilliant with his spell of 7-70.

Nauman, 36, made a solid comeback following all the criticism and thrashed the batting line of Sri Lanka after they were trailed by 410 runs.

Pakistan declared their first innings at 576-5 soon after Mohammad Rizwan completed his half-century within starting two overs on the fourth day.

Nauman provided an early breakthrough to Pakistan which forced Sri Lanka to go out for Lunch at 81-1. Post-Lunch, Nauman was on song with his spin attack and took five more wickets in no time.

Before Tea, Nauman took all six wickets as Sri Lanka walked out with 143-6 on the scoreboard.

Following Tea, Naseem once again started his hunt for a wicket but it took so long for him to take his first wicket in the innings. Meanwhile, an 'out' decision off him was also overturned after which Nauman bagged his seventh to go closer to the world record of bagging all 10 wickets in an innings.

However, Naseem finally struck, and that too in style, picking all the last three wickets in a row.
