This should be the last t20 tournament organized in UAE

Win toss, win match.

Hoping the WC in Australia will be better.

Said it last year after the t20Wc. I really like this Pak t20 side. They should have won it last year. Won't be beyond them to win it this year.

Excellent score from SL in the end, a very good recovery. Beautiful batting from Rajapaksa. Great shot to finish the innings.

Pakistan let the game drift in the middle, momentum was lost. Babar’s captaincy needs to be more aggressive in such situations.

Will be a very tricky chase. Sets up the game nicely. SL favourites.

Babar’s had a terrible tournament. Big concern ahead of the WC.

Terrific bowling & fielding. Rizwan needs to stop rotating & play the big shots. Now or never.

Well done SL, deserved winners. Superb fielding.

Crap batting from Pakistan. Plenty to improve ahead of the WC.

I think they lack the brute firepower with the bat that some teams have, that's needed in chases like this where there's a steady start but need to up the scoring rate.

Yes, their batting is weak to be fair. Very one dimensional.

It’s too reliant on the top 3 to set the platform. Now Babar & Fakhar are out of form, the deficiencies are made even worse.

Well done SL by winning batting first.

Still think cricket has a t20 problem in these kind of venues with toss playing too important a role.

So proud of this team. And they've given some cheer to a country that so desperately needed it.

Thank you and we'll done lads!! :drool:

This was our first major final and win since the 2014 WC. I really don't even know how to react right now :lol:

Really happy for SL and their fans, especially considering everything the country has been through.

Well done SL. They have been playing some good cricket in last some months.

Sri Lanka played fantastic. It was so easy to fold and collapse after losing 5 wickets so early on. Especially against a searing pace attack. The comeback in the batting was beyond anyones imagination. Well deserved victory based on whole tournament as well.
