Lifting the Asia Cup Trophy is Sri Lanka.
What a triumph and what a comeback. They made sure to return the trophy even though they were unable to host the tournament there. Pakistan was eliminated after 20 overs for 147 runs! Despite the fact that Sri Lanka reached 170 and won the game under duress thanks to a spectacular sixth wicket partnership between Hasaranga and Rajapaksa, Madushan finished with four wickets and Hasaranga with three.Sri Lanka hasn't won five straight T20 international games since April 2014.In his final over, Hasaranga scores three.
Even though Pakistan had done well to score 25 runs off of his first three overs, the fourth over features a game-changing effort. As though he hadn't achieved anything thus far. Rizwan (55 off 49), Asif Ali, and Khushdil Shah each lost a wicket in that over. To their credit, the fielders accepted every catch that was thrown their way, which is unusual for the "Ring of Fire" stadium in Dubai.
Attacks from Madushan twice
After a 12-run opening over that was jam-packed with wides, Sri Lanka has found a hero in Madushan, who dismisses Babar and Fakhar off successive deliveries to help SL grab the upper hand (and swing). Babar has gone six consecutive T20I games without scoring a fifty, first flicking one straight to short fine before Zaman chops on.
Sri Lanka is outscored 170–71 by Rajapaksa.
Oh T20, you sweetheart. Indeed, this is a recovery. Sri Lanka was at a pitiful 58/5 after just nine overs before Hasaranga and Rajapaksa sprung into action and scored 58 runs for the sixth wicket. Despite Hasaranga's collapse, Rajapaksa kept playing his strokes, helping SL score 53/0 in the remaining five overs.
The last strike of a counterattack
from the one and only Hasaranga. 36 off 21. He was aggressive against Shadab, Hasnain, and now Rauf once more as he hit the pacer for two fours and edged one to the keeper. But this wicket has given the game new life. Up until the ninth over, Pakistan dominated the match.
Lanka is down five.We are currently in the ninth over. Iftikhar Ahmed first dismisses Dhananjaya de Silva, now Sri Lanka's best batsman, with a brilliant reflex catch off his own bowling. Then, Shadab Khan approaches and works to undermine Shanaka's defences.
Sri Lanka won the ICC T20 World Cup in 2014, the ICC Champions Trophy in 2002 (co-champions with India), and the Cricket World Cup in 1996 (against Australia) (vs India). They finished second in the ICC T20 World Cup in 2009 and 2012, and they finished second in back-to-back Cricket World Cups in 2007 and 2011. Several world records are now held by the Sri Lankan cricket team, including the record for the greatest team total in a Test match.
