When is Indian cricket team’s next match in Asia Cup 2023?

Team India beat Sri Lanka by 41 runs in the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday, September 12. With the win, India ended Sri Lanka’s 13-match winning streak in ODIs, while also booking their place in the Asia Cup 2023 final.

Batting first after winning the toss, India were bowled out for a disappointing 213 in 49.1 overs as Dunith Wellalage (5/40) and Charith Asalanka (4/18) shone with the ball. Sri Lanka, however, faltered in the chase and were bowled out for 172 in 41.3 overs.

India were brilliant with the ball and reduced Sri Lanka to 99/6 in the 26th over. However, a seventh wicket stand of 63 between Wellalage (42* off 46) and Dhananjaya de Silva (41 off 66) lifted the Lankans.

Kuldeep Yadav (4/43) and Ravindra Jadeja (2/33), however, combined to play a key role in India’s win. Earlier, Jasprit Bumrah also chipped in with 2/30 from seven overs.

The Men in Blue got off to a great start with the bat as openers Rohit Sharma (53 off 48) and Shubman Gill (19 off 25) added 80 runs for the first wicket in 11 overs. But the introduction of Wellalage led to a stunning Indian batting collapse as they slipped to 91/3.

Ishan Kishan (33 off 61) and KL Rahul (39 off 44) then added 63 runs for the fourth wicket to propel the Men in Blue. For Sri Lanka, Asalanka claimed three wickets in quick succession before Axar Patel’s 26 took India to 213.
