While Pakistan has had the head-to-head edge over Sri Lanka in Tests, the Babar Azam-led side has struggled in the longest format of late. Though they made it a difficult chase at times, the visitors completed a four-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the first cricket test on Thursday.
Pakistan kept losing wickets at regular intervals but opening batsman Imam-ul-Haq scored an unbeaten half-century, his eighth in test cricket, to see the tourists through before lunch on the fifth day.
