It's spin vs spin as India and Sri Lanka do battle for Asia Cup title
While there isn't much to separate the teams when it comes to their spin bowling, India have been the better all-round side, and go into the final as the favourites
In a dramatic Asia Cup semifinal, Sri Lanka secured their spot in the final by defeating spirited Pakistan. Fatima Sana, a rare Player of the Match from the losing side, scored 47 off 36 balls and claimed 4 for 38, including two double-wicket overs. Despite her efforts, Sri Lanka's all-round performance prevailed as Harshitha Samarawickrema and Kavisha Dilhari put on a match-defining partnership of 67 off 59 runs.
With Nilakshi Silva and Kaushini Nuthyangana chipping in, Sri Lanka chased down Pakistan's total of 130 for 5 in 18.4 overs, winning by four wickets.
