Sri Lanka's inexperienced cricket team overcame a poor start with bat and ball to put on an impressive all-around show Sunday and win the Asia Cup for the sixth time with a 23-run victory over Pakistan.

Bhanuka Rajapaksa hit an unbeaten 71 off 45 balls in Dubai and led Sri Lanka as it recovered from 58-5 to reach 170-6 in the final after Pakistan won the toss and elected to field.

Hasaranga, who earlier scored 36 off 21 balls, had Pakistan's top-scorer Mohammad Rizwan caught in the deep in his last over before claiming the wickets of Asif Ali and Khushdil Shah in the same over to finish with 3-27. Madushan, who made his T20 debut in the last Super 4 match against Pakistan on Friday, settled his team's nerves quickly by claiming the wickets of Babar Azam and Fakhar Azam off successive deliveries inside the power play.

Madushan broke the stand in his return spell as Pakistan collapsed from 102-3 to lose its last seven wickets for 45 runs with Sri Lanka fielders holding onto all their catches.
