Kusal Mendis produced an outstanding 91 and was well supported by Charith Asalanka's gutsy unbeaten 49 as defending champions Sri Lanka defeated Pakistan by two wickets in a dramatic Super Four match on Thursday to set up an Asia Cup final against India. Fifties by Abdullah Shafique (52) and Mohammad Rizwan (86 not out) had led Pakistan to a competitive 252 for 7 off 42 overs after electing to bat on another rain-affected day. But Sri Lanka replied in kind through Mendis and Asalanka as they inched past the target off the last ball of the match, also spoiling the possibility of an Indo-Pak summit clash. The final will be played on Sunday.
