England were eliminated from the ODI tri-series after Sri Lanka secured an eight-wicket win over Pakistan in Lahore on Tuesday to reach the final. Brendon McCullum's side required a Pakistan victory to keep their qualification hopes alive ahead of their final round-robin match. Instead, Sri Lanka will now play Pakistan in the tournament final on Saturday, October 31.
Dilshan Madushanka claimed career-best figures of five for 34 as Pakistan were bowled out for 110 in 25.3 overs, their second-lowest ODI total at home. In response, Kamindu Mendis scored an unbeaten 62 off 60 deliveries to guide Sri Lanka comfortably to 112 for two within 18.1 overs.
