Sri Lanka beat Pakistan by 23 runs to win the Asia Cup 2022 title on Sunday, September 11. This was their sixth Asia Cup title and it came in unexpected circumstances as they defeated one of the favourites of this competition in Pakistan. Defending 171 to win the match, Sri Lanka bowled in the right areas and got early as well as late wickets to put Pakistan under pressure and eventually clinch the all-important win. Following this, the cricket fraternity showered their praise on Dasun Shanaka and co for their remarkable achievement.
