Top 10 shortest Test matches in history

6) Pakistan vs Sri Lanka, Gujranwala, 20 – 25 Dec 1991

Rain ruined the match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka

Two talented sides faced each other in the second of a 3 match Test series in 1991 in Gujranwala, close to Lahore. Sri Lanka chose to field and captain Aravinda De Silva rang the changes among his bowlers, trying 7 different options to dislodge the Pakistani batsmen. He had limited success as they claimed two early wickets, but Rameez Raja remained resolute on his way to a half-century.

What ensued was a comedy of errors. Rain, followed by a soggy outfield, bad lighting and dark patches ensured that there would be no more cricket over the course of the 5 days.

Total balls bowled: 216 (36 overs)

Score: Pak – 109/2 in 36 overs, SL – N/A
