Asia Cup Final SL vs PAK Live: Rajapaksa finishes it in style, Sri Lanka reach 170/6 in 20
Naseem Shah is into the attack
Ball 1 Slower ball on length and pulled to deep square leg by Karunaratne for a single
Ball 2 In the air…and falls short of Khushdil Shah at the deep backward square leg and Rajapaksa will take two
Ball 3 Once again the ball has been pushed in the gap and two runs are taken by Rajapaksa. Sri Lanka gets to 160 and it looks like a competitive total by all means
Ball 4 Dot ball. That’s like gold dust at this stage
Ball 5 Four!! Finally, the shot comes off. Rajapaksa had tried this against Hasnain too, but wasn’t able to get the connection. This time he does and the ramp goes over the keeper for a four
Ball 6 Six!! What a strike to end the innings from Rajapaksa. A true shot of authority. Length ball on the fuller side and hit over covers for a six and Sri Lanka end up at 170/6. Pakistan will now need 171 to win the match
Sri Lanka Live Score 170-6 after 20 overs

Asia Cup Final SL vs PAK Live: Shadab having a really bad day
This is by far the worst day for Shadab Khan in the field as far as I have seen. Dropped a high catch of Rajapaksa and now rams into Asif Ali and makes him drop Rajapaksa as well and the ball goes for a six too. Worst of all gets injured too
9:12 PM
Asia Cup Final SL vs PAK Live: Worst day for Shadab in field
Hasnain is into the attack
Ball 1 Single of the very first ball as Rajapka hits this to cover
Ball 2 Slower one, but cannot prevent Karunaratne from taking a single
Ball 3 Dot ball. Short and slow and played to backward point
Ball 4 Is that another drop catch? It might have been an edge, but it surely is a dot ball and Sri Lanka won’t like it
Ball 5 Third dot in a row in the 19th over and Rajapaksa is trying for a lap shot. That’s not his strength. He must get back to his strength
Ball 6 Six!! In the air… two fielders circling under it and it is Asif Ali who has settled himself under it to take it…but Shadab comes running in and ramps into Asif and the ball slips and lands into the boundary for a six
Sri Lanka Live Score 155-6 after 19 overs
9:07 PM

Ball 2 Four!! On the pads, it goes past the short fine leg for a four
Ball 3 Quick single taken by Karunaratne
Ball 4 Dropped!! This is the worst thing that could happen to Pakistan and it is Shadab Khan dropping a catch and it has happened. Rajapaksa take sthree runs and gets to 49
Ball 5 Single taken
Ball 6 Rajapaksa guides this to short-third man and gets to a much-deserved fifty. His first of the tournament.
Sri Lanka Live Score 147-6 after 18 overs

Ball 2 Smashed to covers for two runs
Ball 3 Four!! Hit down the ground and over mid-off for a four
Ball 4 Four!! Almost a catch there, but if Shadab couldn’t take it, no one could have in this Pakistani team
Ball 5 Wicket!! Though Hasaranga departs, he has done more than enough for his role to make a 21-ball 36 and get Sri Lanka to a position from where they could reach 150. He tried to hit this one inside out too, but the speed of the delivery was too much and all Hasaranga could get was the nick of the bat
Ball 6 Worked away on the on-side for a single by Karunaratne to get off the mark
Sri Lanka Live Score 117-6 after 15 overs

Sri Lanka Live Score 106-5 after 14 overs
