While disappointed with the loss, a group of former Pakistan stars and a high profile ex-coach also sent their well wishes to the Sri Lanka players.
When I was watching the start of the match it looked like that Pakistan will make the match one-sided, and at the end Sri Lanka made it one-sided. Have to appreciate the @OfficialSLC played the entire tournament sp todays final, you deserve #AsiaCup2022, congrats and well played
