Toss has been a major factor at the ongoing Asia Cup 2022. Pakistan and Sri Lanka faced off in the final on Sunday, and it was Babar Azam who won the toss and chose to bowl first. Teams batting second so far have an incredible winning record in this year's edition of Asia Cup.
That's why 'Congratulations Pakistan' started to trend on Twitter as soon as Babar won the toss. While some fans shared hilarious memes, others were pretty sure that Pakistan would clinch their third title since Dadun Shanaka's side had won all of their previous four contest while chasing, but they were asked to bat first.
The last time, Sri Lanka batted first, it was their first match of Asia Cup 2022, wherein they lost to Afghanistan.
