Defending champions Sri Lanka qualified for the finals after defeating Pakistan in the crucial match of the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup.
The journey of the green shirts in the tournament ended and Pakistan didn’t make it to the final but thanks to fast bowler Zaman Khan, this success remained difficult for the opposing team until the last ball.
Zaman’s moment came when Sri Lanka needed eight runs from the last six balls and he bowled the last over. Sri Lanka needed two runs from his last ball but as a result of poor fielding SriLankan batsman Aslanka scored easily and took his team to the final by winning the match.
After the big loss, Pakistan could not hide their depression in the stadium. Zaman Khan became emotional sitting on the pitch, after which Shaheen Afridi and other cricketers hugged and comforted him.
The national team is being criticized by cricket fans due to poor fielding and batting, but also a picture of Zaman Khan is being viral very quickly on social media to appreciate his performance.
Check out the comments in favor of Zaman Khan:
