This match reported by The Age Staff (Third Party Reference from The Age)
Pakistan won the fourth and final one-day international against Sri Lanka by 89 runs in Hyderabad to take the series 4-0.
Pakistan made 7/216 in its 39 overs and then tore through the tourists, who collapsed to be all out for 127 in 37.2 overs.
Javed Miandad played a steady captain's innings of 56 before falling to medium-pacer Ravi Ratnayeke. He was ably supported by young Rameez Raja, who hit a fine 45 before Ratnayeke trapped him leg before.
Play was suspended for 25 minutes after Sri Lanka's Ranjan Madugalle was hit on the head by a stone thrown by a spectator. Madugalle slumped to the ground and was helped off the field for medical treatment.
The other Sri Lankan players left the field in protest and returned only after Pakistani officials assured them they were safe.
Sri Lanka needed an average of about 5.5 runs an over to win, but collapsed with a flurry of rash strokes.
Only captain Duleep Mendis played confidently, hitting 45. Leg-spinner Abdul Qadir was Pakistan's most successful bowler, taking 2/13.
Sri Lanka is also trailing 1-0 in the three-Test series. The last Test begins in Karachi on Thursday.
