Island nation Sri Lanka is enjoying its dream performance in the ODI format. It won 13 consecutive matches and bowled out the opposition teams 12 times straight away. This speaks volumes about the dominance of the team in the format. The Sri Lanka team is continuing its performance in the ongoing Asia Cup.

Having entered the tournament as the defending champion, it is playing to its stature. It almost stunned India in the Super 4 match and knocked out Pakistan in the virtual semi-final. In the edge-of-the-the-corner contest, Sri Lanka knocked Pakistan Out of the Asia Cup.

Rain affected the match and the overs were reduced. Only 42 overs were played and Pakistan managed to score 252 runs. Mohammad Rizwan became the sole fighter in the match. When others including skipper Babar Azam failed, Rizwan played a crucial innings of 86 not out. Young pacer Matheesha Pathirana took three wickets.

Sri Lanka’s innings did not go as planned with the opener losing his wicket for a run out. However, Defending Champion Sri Lanka did not let the momentum lose and won the match in the last over.

The last two balls gave unmatched entertainment. With six runs required, Asalanka scored a boundary and scored two runs in the last ball. Asalanka is the hero of the team.

Now Sri Lanka and India will lock horns in the finals. India won seven titles so far and is hoping to win an eighth one. Talking about Sri Lanka, it won six times. We have to wait and see who wins. Without any doubt, another edge-of-the-seat thriller is on the cards.
