Sri Lanka emerged victorious in the Hong Kong World Super Sixes tournament, claiming their second title after defeating Pakistan by three wickets in an exciting final held at Mong Kok Stadium. Sri Lanka, choosing to bowl first, quickly gained control by dismissing Pakistan’s top-order batsmen early in the game.
Pakistan, led by a determined performance from Mohammad Ikhlaq, who scored 48 runs, managed to put up a total of 72 runs in their six overs. However, building momentum proved challenging as Sri Lanka’s bowlers, Dhananjaya Lakshan and Tharindu Rathnayake, took two wickets each, adding pressure to Pakistan’s line-up and keeping their score within reach.
In their chase, Sri Lanka approached the target steadily, with key contributions from Sandun Weerakkody, who scored 34, and captain Lahiru Madushanka, who added a swift 19 runs. Together, they brought the team to 73 for three with an over to spare, securing a well-deserved victory. The win marked Sri Lanka’s impressive journey through the tournament and their second Hong Kong Super Sixes title, much to the excitement of their fans.
