The accomplishment obliged the most noteworthy fourth-innings organization for Pakistan, 242 in the middle of Younis and Shan Masood, who fell on the fifth morning for 125. Misbah-ul-Haq landed with 122 required, saw off Sri Lanka's quicks till lunch, and opened up after that to reel off an unbeaten 59, completing the match with a six.
Sri Lanka's quick bowlers invest a vivacious exertion, particularly with the second new ball, however couldn't separate Younis and Misbah.
Pakistan required 147 more toward the begin of the day, and Masood and Younis' record association developed by 25 preceding the previous tumbled to his nerves. Masood had been secured by Sri Lanka's exactness, and was tingling to break free. No discharge was given by Angelo Mathews and the master seamers. At the point when the offspinner Tharindu Kaushal was presented in the eleventh over of the morning, Masood, looking at a few runs, bounced out, yet was beaten by the swing to be puzzled.
Sri Lanka's master spinner had started promisingly after a wayward return of 0 for 92 in 20 overs on day four, however once more, he neglected to maintain the weight. He did shift his line more extensive outside off and spun it in forcefully with men holding up in the leg trap, yet was excessively conflicting with his lengths. Misbah and Younis utilized the breadth much of the time, and set away the customary full hurls without breaking a sweat.
It was an alternate story against the quicks. The principal limit of the day came just in the tenth over, when Younis constrained an edge through the empty slip locale off Nuwan Pradeep.
There was little in the pitch by method for variable skip to recommend it was a day-five subcontinent wicket. Regardless of their order toward the begin, Sri Lanka were subject to the new ball. Pakistan required 101 more when it was taken, and they had the work force in the center to get them through.
Misbah was glad to deny himself against the new ball, going 22 balls without a run. Batting on a major hundred, Younis was avid to move crosswise over and play as much as he could. There was an unsuccessful survey for leg-before against Younis, on 128, by Dhammika Prasad, replays giving back umpire's call for purposes of effect on cushion and stumps.
As Mathews attempted Kaushal again at the stroke of lunch, Misbah ventured out to lift him over mid-on. Sri Lanka's test came apart after lunch, Misbah and Younis sprinkling limits on the hapless Kaushal, who had played in front of veteran Rangana Herath, and was to end with figures of 1 for 153 in 31 overs.
The triumphant runs returned again from Misbah's bat, as they had come amid their Sharjah pursue of 302 against Sri Lanka in 2014. Younis finished with the fifth-most noteworthy score in a pursuit.
