Until then, take care, and cheers!

Presentations coming up...
Earlier in the game, Pakistan were off to a shaky start but the Rizwan-Iftikhar stitched up a partnership of 108 runs and made their side reach a commendable total. For Sri Lanka, they started off well and had Pakistan under pressure but Mohammad Rizwan's knock cost them and they ended up with 252 runs to chase in 42 overs rain-curtailed game.
Pakistan, really missed the likes of Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah. Shaheen Afridi along with Zaman Khan and Wasim were quite expensive at the start. The spinners too could not apply the breaks in the middle overs and hence, Pakistan kept chasing the game. Iftikhar Ahmed though was brilliant with the ball. His spell is what gave his side some sort of belief. Shaheen Afridi then came back strongly towards the end. He picked up two wickets in the second last over. Zaman, the debutant, bowled his heart out, he had 7 to defend but failed to do so. What a game of cricket in the end but have to say Sri Lanka deserved to win.
Sadeera Samarawickrama fell but Kusal Mendis continued. He was on course for a well-deserved ton before he fell 9 short. Once he fell, the chase still seemed under control. However, wickets right towards the end, some careless batting saw the equaltion come down to 8 needed in the last over with Charith Asalanka the only recognized batter out there. He though, batted brilliantly and scored won the game on the very last ball.
Charith Asalanka, the man with nerves of steel! What an oustanding knock that was! Take a bow, with so much on stake in this one, it came down to 6 needed from the last two balls and it was Charith Asalanka who has taken his side over the line and into the finals. The defending champions will have a chance to retain the Asia Cup against India. However, this game should have ever come this close. It was Sri lanka all the way in the second innings. The openers got them off to a flier but then came the stand which took the game away from Pakistan. Both Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama batted brilliantly to add over 100 and turned the tide completely into their favor.

OUT! TAKEN! That is a wonderful catch and the big wicket of Kusal Mendis is taken. Is it too late? Has his knock won his side the game? We will know but for now, Pakistan will believe. 42 needed in 41. On middle, Kusal Mendis looks to flick but this one holds in the surface. He closes the face of the bat early, it goes off the leading edge. Mohammad Haris at covers, runs forward, dives and takes it inches above the ground. They go upstairs to check but replays show that it is clean. Mendis deserved a ton but he has batted brilliantly.

Zaman Khan To Kusal Perera OUT!
OUT! RUN OUT! On a length and on off, Kusal Perera taps it to short covers. He hesitated at the start but ran for a single anyway. A huge mix-up as Shadab Khan collects the ball and makes a direct hit at the bowler's end. The umpire checks and the replay shows that Kusal Perera was way off his crease despite his dive. A massive moment in the game! Kusal Mendis is the new batter.
