Final of the Hong Kong Super Sixes tournament, Sri Lanka emerged victorious over Pakistan, clinching the title with a narrow three-wicket win. The match was a nail-biter, showcasing the competitive spirit of both teams.
Pakistan had advanced to the final after a convincing performance against Australia in the semi-finals, where they chased down a target of 108 runs with just one ball remaining. Aamir Yamin and Faheem Ashraf played crucial roles in that match, finishing on 24 and 19 runs not out, while Mohammad Ikhlaq and Asif Ali each contributed 32 runs.
Australia had set a challenging target of 107 runs, finishing their six overs with one wicket down. In the other semi-final, Sri Lanka secured their spot in the final by defeating Bangladesh by three wickets, successfully reaching a target of 104 runs just before the last ball was bowled.
Despite falling short in the final, Pakistan’s journey in the tournament highlighted their strong performance and resilience in the fast-paced format, setting the stage for future competitions.
