But in the lopsided final on Sunday in Dubai, Sri Lanka, the eventual winners, twice outperformed Pakistan’s batters and bowlers.

Thanks to Bhanuka Rajapaksa’s 71-run innings and the bowlers’ outstanding bowling performance, Sri Lanka scored 170 runs before bowling Pakistan out for 143 runs in 20 overs.

Devastated cricket fans and ex-players voiced their criticism of the captain’s and team management’s managerial choices on their Twitter accounts. They also criticized the hitters for putting on a poor performance.

Here are a some of the cricket supporters’ responses as they awaited the Men in Green to hoist the trophy.

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

Babar failures in the whole tournament.
Rizwan’s poor strike rate.
Fakhar’s poor form in T20I cricket.
Poor captaincy today by Babar Azam.
Poor fielding on many occasions in this whole tournament.

You don’t deserve to be a champion if you don’t play like one.#AsiaCup2022Final pic.twitter.com/BwC1fDzoLG

So called Kings Babar and Rizwan are exposed again. I never understood why they are king.
Just because one hits beautiful cover drive?
Other is Namazi?
They always wasted power-play in every match.selfish always.
