Sri Lanka choked Pakistan through their spinners then opening batter Pathum Nissanka hit an unbeaten half-century to set up a five-wicket win in the Asia Cup on Friday.
Both teams had already qualified for the final on Sunday and were completing the Super 4 stage. Sri Lanka finished it unbeaten and will go into the final as slight favourite.
Sri Lanka followed their template of successfully chasing in the tournament for the fourth successive time.
Pakistan were shot out for 121 in 19.1 overs and while the Sri Lanka top order crumbled against Pakistan’s pace to 29-3 inside the batting powerplay, Nissanka’s gritty unbeaten 55 off 48 balls carried them to 124-5 with three overs to spare.
