Sri Lanka completed the highest run chase in a T20 international in Sharjah as they started the Asia Cup Super 4 with a rousing win against Afghanistan.
Asia Cup on Sunday, Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan said his team-mates had joked with each other that it's a "best of three-match series" between the two sides in the ongoing continental tournament. India and Pakistan can still face in the summit clash here on September 11 whatever the outcome of the match on Sunday and that will make the arch-rivals face each other three times -- all of them on Sundays. India had beaten Pakistan by five wickets last Sunday. "Fans from both countries anticipate a third meeting in next week's final. We have jokingly said among ourselves that it's a best of three-match series (between India and Pakistan)," Rizwan said in Sharjah after Pakistan's mammoth 155-run win over Hong Kong.

Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan says his side are striving to stay "brave and calm" for their second clash with India as the arch-rivals prepare for their next Asia Cup showdown on Sunday. Babar Azam's team crushed Hong Kong with a 155-run victory on Friday to seal their spot in the final four of the tournament, an entree to the T20 World Cup in October-November.
Pakistan on Friday demolished Hong Kong to seal their berth in the Super-4 stage of the Asia Cup. After posting a daunting total of 193/2, Pakistan bowled Hong Kong out for just 38 to register a mammoth 155-run victory, as the team joined India, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan in the next stage of the competition. It was a must-win match for the Babar Azam-led side as they had gone down to India in their opening encounter last Sunday. Now, India and Pakistan are set to face off again in the Super-4 stage on Sunday, in what promises to be another mouthwatering clash.

Mohammad Rizwan hit an unbeaten 78, laying the foundation of Pakistan's 155-run win over Hong Kong on Friday, which saw them qualify for the Super 4 stage of the ongoing Asia Cup. Rizwan was named 'Man of the Match' for his knock. During the post-match press-conference, Rizwan made a special appeal for Pakistan, which has been hit by severe floods. A lot of damage has been caused to the livelihoods of the people in Pakistan, and the number of dead has crossed the 1,200-mark. Rizwan urged everyone to unite and pray for Pakistan in these tough times.
Sri Lanka and Afghanistan will be squaring off against each other in the first match of the Super 4s stage of the ongoing Asia Cup at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday. When these two teams had met earlier in the Group B clash, it was Afghanistan that emerged on the right side of the result by eight wickets. Mohammad Nabi-led Afghanistan completely dominated the contest, and Sri Lanka had no answers. However, the Super 4s stage match might be different as Sri Lanka have confidence behind them, having gotten the better of Bangladesh in a thrilling encounter.
