Young Tigers defend U19 Asia Cup title after beating India
8 Dec 24
Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka lauded the bowlers and believes they can challenge any batting line-up going around.
Sri Lanka thumped Pakistan by five wickets with the help of left-arm spinner Wanindu Hasaranga’s three-wicket haul and Pathum Nissanka’s unbeaten 55-run innings.
"Always acceptable these kinds of results. The combination we have with the left-arm fast bowlers, the leg spinners - the variation we have is amazing," said Dasun Shanaka in a post-match presentation.
In their last of the Super Four stage against Pakistan, Sri Lanka conceded 17 extra runs.
“I think the extras were a concern in this game, and the lines the fast bowlers bowled. These are areas we can improve, if we could get early wickets in the next game that will be good,” he added.
Sri Lanka defeated Afghanistan, India, and Pakistan in three straight games to win the Super 4 stage campaign. They will face Pakistan in the final clash of the tournament on September 11.
