IND vs SL Asia Cup Super Four Live: Match Summary

 

Sri Lanka won a thrilling encounter as Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Dausn Shanaka kept their cool to chase down 174 and win the game by six wickets. The openers put Sri Lanka ahead in the chase with the openers hitting a fifty each and adding 97 for the first wicket. Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin tried to bring India back with four quick wickets and at one moment, Sri Lanka needed 63 off 35 balls with two batters who had not made even a single run at the crease. 

 

But Rajapaksa and Shanaka kept believing and added an unbeaten 64 off just 34 balls to win the game. 

 

Earlier in the evening, after being put to bat first, India had a bad start and lost two quick wickets in KL Rahul and Virat Kohli. Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma added 97 for the third wicket. However, Rohit got out on 72 off 41 balls and India lost the momentum. They could eventually score only 53 off 35 balls to finish at 173/8 in 20 overs.

IND vs SL Asia Cup Super Four Live: Big win for Sri Lanka

11:18 PM

IND vs SL Asia Cup Super Four Live: Sri Lanka won by six wickets

 

Arshdeep Singh is into the attack

 

Ball 1 Brilliant yorker first up as Arshdeep is right on the money. Single taken 

 

Ball 2 Once again a good yorker and once again a single has been taken 

 

Ball 3 This is super intelligent cricket from Sri Lanka as Bhanuka knew that it could be done in single-double and he has taken two runs 

 

Ball 4 It was always going down the leg on the LBW, but the fielder should have thrown at the wicket 

 

Ball 5 No contact with the bat and still Sri Lanka has run two more runs and won the game. It is a bizarre fashion to get to the win. First Rishabh Pant threw at the striker’s end, which he missed and then Arshdeep threw at the non-striker’s end and he missed too and then they ran overthrow as well and thus India are now on the mercy of other teams to make it to the final. 

 

Sri Lanka Live Score 174-4 after 19.5 overs

Ball 5 Single taken once again and it seems like Arshdeep would have to defend seven today once again

Ball 1 Almost got the wicket India needed there as it was short, but not wide enough to cut but Bhanuka went for it. Lucky he didn’t get an edge 

 

Ball 2 Good bowling from Hardik as he executes a nice yorker. But a leg bye has been taken 

 

Ball 3 Four!! That would have been a perfect catch for a slip. Rishabh tried his best but it was always going away from him. 

 

Ball 4 This would have been out too, but went through the batter and didn't hit the stumps 

 

Ball 5 Six!! Poor ball from Pandya as it was outside leg and Shanaka hit that over short fine leg for a six
