Dominating centuries by Sanath Jayasuriya and Aravinda de Silva dented Pakistan hopes as Sri Lanka scored a crushing eight-wicket win in the Quadrangular cricket tournament in Lahore, Pakistan yesterday.

Jayasuriya hit a belligerent 134 not out and De Silva a masterly undefeated 102 as Sri Lanka passed Pakistan's 280 with 10 overs to spare. The two put on a Sri Lankan record stand of 213 runs for any wicket.

Sri Lanka, who now qualify for the final, dashed Pakistan's hopes of reaching the decider of the event. Sri Lanka will meet South Africa on Saturday but, before that, the two teams meet each other in the last league match today.
