Sarfraz dispels claim that witchcraft helped SL win

Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed rejects claim from Sri Lanka captain that ‘witchcraft’ made Sri Lanka win.

Chandimal had told reporters that he had received a special blessing from a meyni, or sorcerer, ahead of the two-match series in the United Arab Emirates.

"I am always ready to accept the blessings of anyone -- whether it is a meyni or any clergy," Chandimal told reporters after returning to Colombo.

Sarfraz rejected the suggestions and said that Pakistan’s poor batting performances in the Test series was the reason Sri Lanka won the Test series 2-0.

“If witchcraft was the reason then they should have won the ODI and T20 series as well."

“There is magic in the world but we just batted badly and lost our chances to win,” the Pakistan captain added.
