In the next few hours, the champion of the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 will be determined. Pakistan and Sri Lanka will lock horns for the title in Dubai. Both have won the title before. The Lankan Lions have won five titles while the Green Brigade has won two times. They are playing the final for the first time since 2014. In that edition, the Lankan beat Pakistan in the final.

On the other hand, Pakistan won the title for the last time way back in 2012. They had beaten Bangladesh in the final. Talking about both teams in the ongoing edition, they played the last game of the Super Four round only recently. In that game, Dasun Shanaka's men won convincingly by five wickets. They would be looking to repeat the performance. Meanwhile, former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar has come up with an interesting post on Twitter.

Akhtar has posted an image of a Blood Pressure monitor and a pump that is used by asthma patients for breathing issues. The image is going viral on the internet. At the time of writing, it has gotten close to 11,000 likes and counting.
