At the post-game press conference, skipper Shanaka said, “Believe in our cricketers. So A lot of bad things are going around.” Sri Lanka’s unmatched economic crisis served as the backdrop for the cricket team’s Asia Cup campaign. They should take pleasure in their careers as cricket players and avoid spreading unfavorable sentiments. They live different lifestyles as well. Faith must always be kept. As a captain, I try my hardest to give the guys a sense of security. All I can ask for is that.
Long lines for fuel, cooking gas, and other necessities have been caused by a prolonged lack of foreign funding, which has also made life miserable for the general populace due to power outages and rising food prices.
Following that, Pakistan was soon spooked by Pramod Madushan, who claimed two wickets in two deliveries. Iftikhar Ahmed and Mohammad Rizwan partnered well for 71 runs. But the strain was mounting and their performance was subpar.
Rizwan reached his fifty-first run, but Madushan broke the stand and claimed his third wicket. After that, Sri Lanka became the center of attention. To end Pakistan’s prospects, Rizwan, Asif Ali, and Khushdil Shah were all ejected at the same time.
Pakistan was eventually knocked out for 147 off the penultimate delivery of the game, to the joy of the Sri Lankan players.
