Sri Lanka vs Pakistan Highlights, Asia Cup 2022: Wanindu Hasaranga led the bowling effort with a three-wicket haul before Pathum Nissanka notched up an unbeaten fifty as Sri Lanka beat Pakistan by 5 wickets in the final Super 4 contest of the Asia Cup 2022 in Dubai. Sri Lanka slipped to 29-3 in their chase before Nissanka (55 not out) and Bhanuka Rajapaksa put on a key stand of 51 as the island nation achieved their target with three overs to spare. Rajapaksa fell after his 19-ball knock but Nissanka stood firm and Hasaranga hit the winning runs. Earlier, Hasaranga returned with 3/21 including two in successive balls in his last over as the Sri Lankan spin troika accounted for 5/60 in 12 overs. Maheesh Theekshana (2/21) and Dhananjaya de Silva (1/18) were at their tidy best restricting Pakistan to a below-par total after Dasun Shanaka opted to field. Mohammad Nawaz's 26 off 18 stood out in what was an ordinary batting effort from Pakistan, as skipper Babar Azam looked under pressure after Mohammad Rizwan (14) and Fakhar Zaman (13) got out cheaply. Pakistan kept losing wickets and Hasaranga finished his spell with two successive wickets to flatten the Pakistan batting, which survived only 19.1 overs despite a late cameo by Mohammad Nawaz.
