With Saturday's win, Sri Lanka have beaten Pakistan in a Limited
Overs International series in Pakistan for the second time. The
previous instance was when Sri Lanka won 2-1 after losing the
opening match in late 1995. In fact, that was perhaps the
beginning of Sri Lanka's winning streak, which climaxed with
their World cup win.
The speciality of this series win, however, is that Sri Lanka
have made a clean sweep of the series. They have not been able to
win all matches in a LOI series in Pakistan before. Sanath
Jayasuriya's team, thus, achieves a rare distinction with this
win.
The following table summarizes Sri Lanka's performances in LOI
matches in Pakistan.
