Sri Lanka were crowned Asia Cup champions for the sixth time after Bhanuka Rajapaksa’s batting pyrotechnics and Wanindu Hasaranga’s all-round brilliance secured their 23-run victory against Pakistan in the final on Sunday.

Sri Lanka players celebrate after the match.

“We improved a lot coming into the final,” Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka said looking back at their campaign which began with a loss against Afghanistan. Haris Rauf removed Pathum Nissanka and Danushka Gunathilaka in successive overs and Iftikhar Ahmed took a sharp return catch to cut short Dhananjaya de Silva’s knock of 28.

It was largely because of his 45-ball blitz that Sri Lanka plundered 103 runs from the last 10 overs.Babar Azam was caught at short fine leg, while Fakhar Zaman dragged the next ball onto his stumps.
