  "account": "In the fifth match of the One-day International tri-series at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Pakistan's batting performance unraveled against Sri Lanka's disciplined bowling lineup. The home team was dismissed for an unimpressive 110 in just 25.3 overs. Sri Lanka's left-arm pacer, Dilshan Madushanka, was the star of the show, taking a career-best five wickets for 34 runs. The Sri Lankan team elected to field, as Pakistan's innings crumbled from the start following the loss of early wickets. Babar Azam emerged as the top scorer for Pakistan with 29 runs off 33 balls, while Hasan Nawaz contributed 17 runs, and captain Shaheen Shah Afridi managed 15 runs off 13 balls, including two sixes. However, the early wickets of Fakhar Zaman and Maaz Sadaqat set the tone for Pakistan's downfall. As the Sri Lankan bowlers joined the attack, the situation worsened, and Pakistan's total continued to deteriorate. Shadab Khan, Arachchige, and Madushanka were among the key wicket-takers, effectively restricting Pakistan to a paltry total. The Sri Lankan bowlers eventually dismissed the tailenders, including Asitha Fernando, Malinga, and Wellalage, to end the innings with five crucial wickets to their name. With this result, Sri Lanka strengthened their position in the tri-series, leaving Pakistan with a challenging task of defending their meager score of 110 in the remaining overs.",
