DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Sri Lanka’s young cricket team has put on an impressive all-round show to win the Asia Cup for a sixth time with a 23-run victory against Pakistan. Bhanuka Rajapaksa hit an unbeaten 71 off 45 balls and led Sri Lanka as it recovered to reach 170-6 in the final after Pakistan won the toss and elected to field. Pakistan crashed to 147 all out off the last balls as its top order continued to struggle against pace with fast bowler Pramod Madushan claiming 4-34 in only his second T20 international.
