Mahela Jayawardene became the ninth batsman to pass 10,000 runs in one-day cricket internationals but could not prevent Sri Lanka losing to Pakistan in the third game of their five-match series at the Dubai International Stadium.
Pakistan won by 21 runs to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series after compiling 257 for eight and bowling out Sri Lanka for 236 in 48.5 overs.
The 34-year-old Jayawardene, batting at number five, made 17 as off-spinner Saeed Ajmal and seamer Umar Gul ran through the Sri Lanka card with three wickets apiece.
Sharjah hosts the fourth match on Monday.
