Sri Lanka sensationally beat Pakistan in the final of the 2022 Asia Cup
The favorite of the 2022 Asia Cup was undoubtedly the powerful India national team under the leadership of Rahul Dravid. But the Indians failed without even making it to the tournament finals. But the surprises did not end there because the second favorite of the event also misfired — Sri Lanka sensationally beat Pakistan in the final of the 2022 Asia Cup.
The Sri Lanka national team was initially supposed to become the host country of the 2022 Asia Cup, but this country lost the right to host the tournament due to the severe economic crisis. But this state of affairs, it seems, only provoked the Sri Lankan players – Silverwood’s team had a great championship.
In the final, the Sri Lankan team, being a clear underdog, confidently beat Pakistan with a handicap of 23 runs.
Chris Silverwood, the head coach of the Sri Lanka national cricket team, shared his emotions after the match.
“It’s just unbelievable! We found ourselves in tough conditions but managed to show our character. Sri Lanka’s victory at the 2022 Asia Cup is an amazing story with a happy ending,” said Chris Silverwood.
