On September 11, Sri Lanka defeated Pakistan in the final and went on to win the Asia Cup 2022 title. The Islanders won the event for the sixth time, becoming them the second team after India to do so in the T20I format.
Few supporters anticipated the club to win the major competition this year. The overwhelming favourites were India and Pakistan, but Sri Lanka shocked everyone by winning the event.
The IPL team Chennai Super Kings (CSKsuccess )’s in the IPL 2021 final gave the Islanders hope that they may win the Asia Cup 2022 final, according to Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka at the post-game presentation.
In light of it, the following are five parallels between CSK’s victory and Sri Lanka’s victory:
1) Ended the dominance of a team in blue.
2) Both teams won while defending a target in the final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium
3) Runner-up team’s opener scored 50, No. 3 batter scored golden duck and No. 9 batter touched double digits
4) Winning captain’s jersey number
5) Both CSK and Sri Lanka failed to impress in the previous seasons
