ABU DHABI: Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka by 32 runs in the second One-day International to lead the five-match series 2-0 here at the Sheikh Zayad Stadium on Monday.

Earlier, Pakistan batted first after winning the toss and made 219 for nine with the help of a 109-run seventh wicket partnership between Babar Azam and Shadab Khan.
