It is time for Asia Cup 2022 Final between Sri Lanka and Pakistan

Asia Cup 2022 Final Sri Lanka vs Pakistan Live

Asia Cup 2022, which began last month in August, has now almost reached its culmination with Pakistan and Sri Lanka vying to enrich their trophy cabinet. While this has been a revelation for Sri Lanka in a way that after losing their first game in the tournament, they have not lost a single one since then, Pakistan’s has been a roller-coaster ride.

Before heading into the final, the two teams met each other in a dress rehearsal of a game on Friday, September 09, 2022. Though Sri Lanka won it eventually, it could have been a tight game had Pakistan scored a bit more and held on to difficult chances. Pakistan also played without its main men in Naseem Shah and Shadab Khan and hence final is expected to be more contentious and exciting.

In the end, it is going to be a fight between the consistency of Sri Lanka and the class of Pakistani players, who have been anything but consistent. However, the class of the likes of Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shadab Khan, Asif Ali and Haris Rauf is remarkable.

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam won the toss and decided to bowl first at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. In the final of the Asia Cup, Sri Lanka, which had the good fortune to chase in all its last four games, will finally be chasing a total.
