Pakistan's players went to the Sri Lanka dressing room to thank them soon after the home team posted a convincing 263-run win in the second Test of their first home series in a decade.
Despite a 51 run sixth-wicket stand between injured Dimuth Karunaratne and Niroshan Dickwella giving Sri Lanka some hopes for a draw, as it turned out, they were successful in only delaying their defeat.
Talking about the series so far, Sri Lanka won the first match of the two-match Test series by 6 wickets and currently lead the series 1-0.
For Sri Lanka, Dilruwan Perera came in place of Akila Dananjaya and for New Zealand, Colin de Grandhomme replaced Mitchell Santner.
Karunaratne, who scored 39 runs in the first innings, played masterfully and scored 122 runs in the second innings to help Sri Lanka bag the match with ease.
Earlier on Saturday, the guests were bundled out for 285 runs, hence setting a target of 268 for the hosts.
