Asia Cup 2022: Despite a five-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka in the final match of the Super four stage, Pakistan’s head coach Saqlain Mushtaq remains confident ahead of the Asia Cup final. Mushtaq admitted that Sri Lanka played better on the day as they chased down Pakistan’s modest total of 122 with three overs to spare on Friday as well.
Although Pakistan’s bowlers picked up early wickets, earlier Pakistan’s batting unit could only manage a below-par total, with Babar Azam top-scoring with 30. While speaking at the post-match press conference, Mushtaq said that Pakistan will take confidence from their batting performances against India and Afghanistan while reaching the final.
