Pakistan Clinches Series with Babar Azam's Century, Sri Lanka Falls to 8-Wicket Loss

Pakistan won the series against Sri Lanka with a comfortable 8-wicket victory in the 2nd ODI. Babar Azam scored his first international century in 2 years, anchoring Pakistan's chase of 289. Sri Lanka was restricted to 288-8 after six of the top seven batters failed to convert good starts. The series was in doubt after a suicide bomber attack in Islamabad, but Sri Lanka Cricket directed the team to finish the series after reassurances from the Pakistan Cricket Board.
