13.10.2022 - 16:01 sports.ndtv.com

Sri Lanka stole a thrilling one-run victory in the semi-final of the Asia Cup against Pakistan to set a title clash with India on Saturday.

Sri Lanka chose to bat after winning the toss and posted a below-par total of 122 runs. Pakistan's Nashra Sandhu picked up three wickets to help her team restrict Sri Lanka to a low total.

Pakistan's chase started with a bang after the opening pair of Muneeba Ali and Sidra Ameen walked out to chase the Sri Lankan total, with Ali being the aggressor of the two.

The batter stroked three boundaries in the first three overs and looked in great touch, looking set to score big. Pakistan was at 31/0 after three overs owing to Ali's aggression and wayward bowling from the Sri Lankan bowlers as they gave away plenty of extras.
