Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka said it was a tough game for his side after going down to Pakistan by five wickets in an Asia Cup Super 4s match here on Tuesday. 

Pakistan chased a modest target of 134 with two overs to spare to record their first win of this round, which was set up by Shaheen Afridi (3-28) and Hussain Talat (2-18 and 32 not out).
