What a performance and what a tournament this has been for Sri Lanka! Ever since losing the first game to Afghanistan, they have been playing excellently well and have strung together some memorable performances to win the Asia Cup 2022 title. After winning all their matches so far while chasing, Sri Lanka found themselves in a spot of bother in this final after losing five wickets early on. But Bhanuka Rajapaksa kept his head down and fought hard to score 71 runs and take the team to a formidable 170/6. Later on, Pramod Madushan gave Sri Lanka a good start with the twin dismissals of Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman. Mohammad Rizwan fought hard but his innings was not quick enough with Wanindu Hasaranga turning things around for his side in the 17th over. Pakistan eventually went on to lose the game by 23 runs after having a good tournament for themselves. This was Sri Lanka's sixth Asia Cup title and first major trophy since 2014 when they had beaten India to win the T20 World Cup.

OUT! Not one, not two but three have Wanindu Hasaranga's triple strike has put Sri Lanka on top. Mohammad Rizwan, Asif Ali and Khushdil Shah are his victims in the over and it would not be wrong to say that Pakistan's chances are looking very bleak here.

FIFTY! After quite a while, Mohammad Rizwan has finally broken free and has reached his fifty with a six. The concern for Pakistan is that it might have come at a slower pace and he now needs to take his team home from here on.

OUT! Another wicket has fallen and Mohammad Nawaz, trying to hit one out of the ground, has found the fielder in the deep. Chamika Karunaratne bowled a slower delivery and Nawaz had to hit it hard to get it over but ended up handing a straight catch to Pramod Madushan. Mohammad Nawaz c Pramod Madushan b Karunaratne 6(9)

Pakistan are under pressure with Sri Lanka slowly taking control of things. The run rate is pretty high and Mohammad Rizwan has to break his shackles and get some hits over the fence. Pakistan need 70 off 30 balls to win this match and the Asia Cup 2022 title. 

11 Sep, 22:45 (IST)

OUT! The partnership is broken and Pramod Madushan has struck again! Iftikhar Ahmed, trying to play a big shot to keep up with the increasing run rate, perishes with substitute fielder Ashen Bandara taking a good catch in the deep. Sri Lanka have a wicket at a crucial time. Iftikhar Ahmed c (sub)Ashen Bandara b Pramod Madushan 32(31)

Iftikhar Ahmed has started playing some shots and has taken a liking to Wanindu Hasaranga, hitting him for two boundaries. After losing two consecutive wickets, Pakistan have fought back hard in this chase. The fulcrum of this chase has been Mohammad Rizwan, who has batted with maturity and ran well between the wickets. After Hasaranga's expensive over, Maheesh Theekshana bowls a tight one.

After losing their campaign opener against Afghanistan, Sri Lanka have been on a roll as they are yet to lose since that defeat. On the other hand, Pakistan have stumbled at times in the tournament, their last match ending in a loss to Sri Lanka in the Super 4 stage. While that win would give Sri Lanka a world of confidence going into the all-important final, Pakistan will aim to put their past result behind and focus on beginning afresh in the summit clash.
