DUBAI: Despite domestic issues, Sri Lanka has been able to defeat giants throughout the tournament and is ready to defeat Pakistan in the Asia Cup final on Sunday.
Political upheaval forced the island nation to cancel its preparations to host the Twenty20 tournament, and they lost to Afghanistan by eight wickets in their opening match with just under ten overs left.
A highly anticipated finals matchup between Rohit Sharma’s team and arch-rivals Pakistan was averted as the five-time champions came back to defeat Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and tournament favourites India.
With Pakistan missing two of its top players, the final Super Four game on Friday served as a dress rehearsal for the Dubai final and saw Sri Lanka win for the fourth time in a row.
