“Photo shows the Sri Lankan flag being displayed on the Burj Khalifa tower after their cricket team won the 2022 Asia Cup”
What FACTLY found
The photo is an old one. It is not related to the 2022 Asia Cup. The picture was taken in 2019 when the Burj Khalifa was lit up with the Sri Lankan flag to show solidarity after the terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka. Also, there are no reports of the Sri Lankan flag being displayed on the Burj Khalifa tower after their cricket team won the 2022 Asia Cup
