Defeat will be in the game but when that loss is against a small team that too in the final match of any tournament, it is definitely hard to accept. But it has to be said that when Sri Lanka team under pressure, Pakistan can make them look silly. As a result of which Sri Lanka was able to score big and finally they win the Asia Cup.
How can you call Srilanka a small team as they defeat all other teams to reach the final and defeated Pakistan in the final also. They are not a small team by any means.
Yes, there are other small teams like hong kong, India, and Afghanistan who could not make it to the finals, but not Srilanka. Srilanka and Pakistan were the top teams of this Asia cup and this time Srilanka lifted the cup.
Is it because India did not make it to the finals that you consider them a small team? The reading of that actually made me laugh out loud. India is by no means a small team. We may have to change many things as a result of India's early exit from the tournament.
The Sri Lankan tournament started off with the worst possible start against Afghanistan, but went on to beat another team consecutively. Throughout the tournament, Sri Lanka stood out with their standout performance and that will have an impact on the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
