LAHORE, Pakistan, Oct 16 (Reuters) Sanath Jayasuriya took five for 17 to lead Sri Lanka to an emphatic 119-run win in the three-nation tournament final on Saturday and keep Pakistan waiting for their first one-day title at home.

In a stunning reversal of form, Sri Lanka, having lost their previous two league games to the hosts, successfully defended a total of 287 despite difficult conditions caused by heavy dew under lights.

Pakistan lost their last nine wickets for 83 runs, being bowled out for 168 in 38 overs after starting well and reaching 85-1.

Marvan Atapattu (66) and Kumar Sangakkara (68) were at the heart of the Sri Lanka total - which was six short of the 293 that Pakistan easily knocked off on Thursday.
