evidence: Sri Lanka vs Pakistan: Dasun Shanaka Reveals How CSK Inspired Sri Lanka's Asia Cup Final Win vs Pakistan Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka had acknowledged at the toss that his side was up against it having been put in to bat, but had said even then that they could still win. [...] "In IPL 2021, Chennai won the match batting first and that is what was in my mind. These youngsters know the conditions really well. Wanindu made a huge impact after losing five wickets. Chamika and DDS batted really well too. The last ball six was the turning point. 170 was mentally the difference, as 160 always feels chasable. As a youngster, we knew Madushanka would deliver, and as a captain we had to back him," said Shanaka at the post-match presentation ceremony.
