Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Live Cricket Score 3rd ODI:  Pakistan are edging towards a comprehensive win as debutant Imam-Ul- Haq and Babar Azam have kept the momentum with their side. After electing to bat first on a pitch which seemed to offer some assistance to bowlers, Sri Lanka got off to a steady start. Upul Tharanga’s half-century and steady innings by Dinesh Chandimal ensured the Lankan’s progress steadily. However, a flurry of wickets fell in the middle, saw Sri Lanka get reduced from 137/4 to 163/8. Hasan Ali was the wrecker-in-chief as he picked up a five-wicket haul to restrict Sri Lanka to 208 at the end of 50 overs. However,  on such a tricky wicket chasing a target of 209 is not going to be easy as witnessed in the earlier match. After suffering their ninth loss on the trot in the previous encounter, Sri Lanka will look to put up a better performance.  Pakistan, on the other hand, will be upbeat after successfully beating their opponents in the last match, despite defending a low total. In today’s clash at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi the hosts remain as firm favourites. Catch the live cricket score of Pakistan vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI here:
