Abdullah Shafique scored an unbeaten 160 to lead Pakistan to a record run chase and a four-wicket victory on July 20 in a series-opening cricket test that went ahead despite a political and economic crisis in Sri Lanka.
His 408-ball innings contained six boundaries and a six in an innings, although he did get some reprieves.
Shafique was lucky to survive an LBW appeal when he was on four. He was dropped on 135 when Dhananjaya de Silva missed a return catch and again on 151 as Pakistan closed in on the win.
