Asia Cup 2023

Top five best moments in Asia Cup history

The Battle of Dambulla between India and Pakistan 

Dambulla was the venue when India and Pakistan faced off during the 2010 Asia Cup tournament. Batting first, Pakistan scored 267 thanks to 74 by Salman Butt and 51 by Kamran Akmal. The match saw fiery moments first between Akmal and Gambhir. Then there was lots of back-and-forth action between Shoaib Akhtar and Harbhajan Singh.

It began when Harbhajan hit Akhtar for a six as the Pakistani pacer said a few words that the Indian off-spinner responded to. When Amir was hit out of the ground for a six Harbhajan celebrated wildly right in front of the Pakistani pacer who gestured for the Indian legend to keep walking off the ground.
