Pakistan winning streaks and visitor losing streak is not broken until now as the final ODI is dominant by young left-arm pace attack Usman Khan who single handily destroyed Sri Lankan batting line-up with a five-wicket explode to help Pakistan achieve a convincing nine-wicket win in the fifth and final match for a 5-0 clean sweep of the series on Monday.

Usman Khan Shinwari's took his maiden five-wicket haul as he ends it up with an impressive figure of 5-34 runs in seven overs reduced Sri Lanka to 103 all out in 26.2 overs in Sharjah before openers Fakhar Zaman (48) and Imam-ul-Haq (45 not out) knocked off the miserable target in 20.2 overs. This is Pakistan's sixth whitewash in a five-match ODI series. They had blanked Zimbabwe (2002 and 2008), Bangladesh (2003 and 2008) and New Zealand in 2003 in the past.

For Sri Lanka, only Thisara Perera (25), Lahiru Thirimanne (19), Seekuge Prasanna (16) and Dushmantha Chameera (11) reached double figures in an abysmal batting performance by Sri Lanka, their second-lowest total in an ODI against Pakistan. Their lowest total of 78 against Pakistan had also come at Sharjah in 2002. Khan, who debuted in the fourth one-day of this series, bowled Sadeera Samarawickrama with the fifth ball of the match for duck and then had Dinesh Chandimal next ball, caught behind without scoring on the board.
