5 reasons why Sri Lanka was whitewashed by Pakistan

#3 Sri Lanka's poor form

The Sri Lankan batsmen lacked application

Sri Lankan cricket has been in disarray for some time now. But after a successful Test series against Pakistan, its meek surrender in the ODI leg was disturbing.

There have been occasional flashes in the pan like Tharanga's century in the second ODI, and Lahiru Thirimanne's fighting spirit, but not enough to change the outcome. Overall, Sri Lanka needs a miracle to escape this mess.
