Asia Cup 2022 Final SL vs PAK Highlights
Sri Lanka clinched its sixth Asia Cup title beating Pakistan by 23 runs. Bhanuka Rajapaksa (71* off 45) with the bat, Pramod Madushan (4-34) with the ball and Wanindu Hasaranga's all-round showing (36, 3-27) took the Lankan team home.
After being asked to bat, Sri Lanka were down to 58-5 at one point in time before Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Wanindu Hasaranga built a great partnership to get Sri Lanka past 100. Even after Hasaranga’s wicket, Rajapaksa continued and got to a fifty. He was supported by drop catches and Sri Lanka made 170/6 in their 20 overs.
Chasing total Pakistan could never get into the game as they were given early blows. Just when things started looking bright with a 71-run stand between Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed, the latter perished and then wickets kept falling as Pakistan eventually got all out for 147 on the last ball of the innings.
