Asia Cup 2022: Wanindu Hasaranga’s game-changing spell helps Sri Lanka lift trophy

Sri Lanka were up against Pakistan cricket team in the finals of the Asia Cup 2022 on Sunday, 11th September in Dubai international cricket stadium, UAE. Sri Lanka gave a shock to Pakistani fans as they won the Asia Cup 2022 trophy for the 6th time. The Sri Lankan defeated the two-time champions of the trophy (Asia Cup) in the final game.

Sri Lanka played an amazing cricket to lift this year’s trophy. After losing their very first game in the tournament against Afghanistan cricket team, Sri Lanka made an emphatic comeback to win this. They deserved this the way they played fearlessly in this tournament. The game was tight until Wanindu Hasaranga’s last over.

Wanindu Hasaranga’s spell changed the game for the Sri Lankan and it turned the game towards the blue side. Hasaranga dismissed world’s no. 1 T20I batter Mohammad Rizwan, Khusdil, and Asif Ali in a single over to turn the game around.

While batting, Rajapaksa took Sri Lanka to a massive total of 170 runs after they were 58/5. This was a team performance and thus Sri Lanka deserved to win this game. Pakista did well in this tournament but unfortunately couldn’t get their hands on the trophy.
