India lost to Sri Lanka in their second Super 4s match on Tuesday and are almost knocked out of the Asia Cup 2022. The Rohit Sharma-led team came close to a win but were devoid by the batting pair of Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Dasun Shanaka. The duo stitched a 64-run partnership for the fifth wicket to seal the deal for Sri Lanka. 

Now, as the situation stands, India have grim chances of finishing in the top two positions. The fact that either of the two teams (most probably Pakistan) can make it to the summit clash has left fans distraught. Even when the tournament had not started, fans were hoping to see a high-octane final clash between the arch-rivals. 

Nevertheless, none of it matters now and hence India-Pakistan fans are disappointed. Pakistan’s famous meme guy, Momin Saqib made a video in the same regard and mocked team India for their loss against Sri Lanka. Saqib also included an Indian cricket team fan in his video as he asked him to do something to change the course of the game in India’s favour. 

“I also wanted an India-Pakistan Final, what is this? Please do something. Cut the power using scissors or pour water on the ground, this can’t happen. We all want a final between India and Pakistan,” Saqib said in his video.

 

Notably, India lost to Sri Lanka by five wickets. After posting a decent 173/8 on the board, India conceded too many runs in the first ten overs and could not take a wicket as well. However, Yuzvendra Chahal spun a web around Sri Lankan batters as he got three big wickets of Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, and Charith Asalanka. R Ashwin also chipped in with the wicket of Danushka Gunathilaka. 

However, Bhanuka Rajapaksa (25*) and Dasun Shanaka (33*) were in no mood to waste their openers’ efforts. They stitched a 64-run partnership and took Sri Lanka over the line.
