After winning the toss, Waqar Younis chose to bat first in front of nearly 20,000 passionate fans. Pakistan started aggressively with Imran Nazir smashing 63 off 61 balls, setting the tone for a huge total. The real highlight came from Yousuf Youhana, who played a magnificent career-best 129, combining elegant stroke play with superb running between the wickets. Alongside Younis Khan, he built a crucial 155-run partnership, steadily dismantling Sri Lanka’s bowling attack. Sri Lanka were also dealt a major blow as Muttiah Muralitharan missed the match due to shoulder ligament injury, leaving their bowling attack weakened. Chasing the massive target, Sri Lanka initially looked promising at 52/1 after nine overs, but Pakistan’s fearsome pace attack quickly turned the match around. Shoaib Akhtar’s raw pace dismissed Sanath Jayasuriya and Kumar Sangakkara, triggering a dramatic collapse. The Sri Lankan middle order crumbled under relentless pressure, and the team was bowled out for just 78 in under 17 overs, marking their second-lowest ODI total at the time. 🏏 Result: Pakistan won by 217 runs 📍 Venue: Sharjah Cricket Stadium 📅 Date: 17 April 2002 🏆 Man of the Match: Yousuf Youhana – 129 This match is remembered as one of Pakistan’s most dominant ODI victories in Sharjah, highlighted by Youhana’s masterclass and Shoaib Akhtar’s devastating pace. #final #pakvssl #cricket #highlights #cricketmax
