Dasun Shanaka-led Sri Lanka impressed one and all as the side went on to defeat Pakistan by 23 runs in the final to win the Asia Cup for the sixth time. In the final, Sri Lanka were up against it at 58/5 batting first, but Bhanuka Rajapaksa’s unbeaten 71-run knock. Helped Sri Lanka post 170/6 in 20 overs and then Pramod Madushan’s four-wicket haul bundled out Pakistan for 147 and as a result. Sri Lanka won the match by 23 runs.
It is important to note that Sri Lanka do not have a direct qualification for the upcoming T20 World Cup. They need to play the qualifiers first in order to seal a qualification for the group stage.

Sri Lanka, a country picking up pieces after the death of democracy while facing enormous financial turbulence, found 11 worthy heroes on a cricket pitch as Dasun Shanaka’s unheralded bunch crushed Pakistan by 23 runs to win their sixth Asia Cup title here on Sunday.
It was a victory that went far beyond cricket, with far-reaching historical and political implications.
