In the championship match for the Asia Cup 2022, which took place at the Dubai International Stadium, Sri Lanka staged an incredible comeback to defeat Pakistan and claim the title. After starting the tournament with a loss to Afghanistan, the island country went on to win their next five games in a row to take first place in the competition. More than the victories, the sort of performances that Sri Lanka has come up with would undoubtedly enhance their confidence in the longer term.

It wasn’t just one person who stood out for the team that Dasun Shanaka was leading; rather, the team featured many match winners in each of the contests. The catching and fielding that the Sri Lankan team displayed throughout their entire campaign was outstanding, and it became abundantly clear that this was the deciding factor in the match between the two teams in the finals. The Sri Lankan fielders successfully held on to their catches, whereas the Pakistani fielders consistently dropped their catches.

Wanindu Hasaranga was named Player of the Tournament because of his steady performance with the ball, not to mention his critical 36 runs off 21 balls scored in the final with Bhanuka Rajapaksa. Despite the victory, Sri Lanka will have to compete in the qualification round of the Twenty20 World Cup 2022 to get to the group stage of the tournament.
