Asia Cup 2023: Sri Lanka win last-over thriller against Pakistan, to meet Rohit Sharma's men in the final
India TV NewsSri Lanka survived a near-car crash to sneak into the final of the Asia Cup with a thrilling 2-wicket win against Pakistan in the Super Fours encounter in Colombo on Thursday, September 14. When Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama were going great, it felt like Sri Lanka would steamroll the opposition, however, a harakiri in the end by their batters complimented by a solid bowling performance from Pakistan pacers meant the Men in Blue found themselves in a tricky situation needing six runs off the last two balls. Those two runs meant, Sri Lanka were into their 12th Asia Cup final and will now meet India in the summit clash on Sunday, September 17. Even though their campaign has ended, Pakistan will feel they are a better side than the last two results given the number of injuries in their side and will hope to come better and stronger in the World Cup, in two weeks from now as India and Sri Lanka play another Asian final.
