Sri Lanka vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2022 Highlights
Pathum Nissanka's 55* was more than enough to guide Sri Lanka to a five-wicket win over Pakistan even as they were 29/3 at one stage in the chase of their target of 122. Nissanka was aided by the quickfire knocks of Bhanuka Rajapaksa (24) and his captain Dasun Shanaka (21) as well. Sri Lanka won the match with three overs remaining and became the only unbeaten team in the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup 2022.
