Web Desk (LTN NEWS): All-rounder Shadab Khan apologized to fans for his team’s poor performance and said he was to blame for losing the Asia Cup final to Sri Lanka.
Sunday, Sri Lanka beat Pakistan by 23 runs to win the Asia Cup final for the sixth time. Bhanuka Rajapaksa, a batsman for Sri Lanka, hit the Pakistani bowlers out of the park, which helped his team win.
Even though Sri Lanka lost wickets early on, they were still able to score 170 runs. However, the tournament favorite, Pakistan, could only score 147 runs while trying to catch up. Pakistan only had three players score in the double digits, and the rest, including Captain Babar, did not do well.
Fans were very angry with the whole team for how poorly they played, but all-rounder Shadab Khan got a lot of flak for dropping two catches.
