Awesome Pakistan win Asian Test final

DHAKA, March 15 (Kuldip Lal for AFP) - Wasim Akram's Pakistan were crowned Asia's best Test team on Monday after crushing Sri Lanka by an innings and 175 runs in a one-sided final here.

The injury-hit Sri Lankans, needing 364 to make Pakistan bat again, were shot out for 188 in their second innings at the stroke of tea on the fourth day. [Scorecard | Commentary Logs]
