Fifth ODI
Monday, midday

Pakistan are 2-5 to complete a 5-0 one-day series victory by inflicting an 11th consecutive 50-over defeat on Sri Lanka in Sharjah.

Lankan batsman Lahiru Thirimanne insisted after Friday's fourth ODI that the tourists are "a good team" but their patchy batting performances against a confident Pakistan bowling attack suggest otherwise.

They were bowled out for 173 on Friday and expectations are low when they return to the venue for the series finale.

It may be worth going under bet365's sixes line of 9.5 given that the maximums tallies in the first four matches have been five, two, three and four.

The ICC's Anti-Corruption Unit have launched an investigation after Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed reported an allegedly corrupt approach following last week's third ODI.

Recommendation
Under 9.5 sixes
2pts 4-6 bet365
