POBNEWS24, Dhaka, Sep 6, 2022 : Seven-time champion India and five-time champion Sri Lanka are facing each other in the important match of the Asia Cup today. The match will start at 8 pm Bangladesh time at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. India needs a win in this match to keep the hope of the final alive.
Sri Lanka beat Afghanistan in their first Super Four match.
On the other hand, India lost to Pakistan. If India lose today, they will have only one match left, that is against Afghanistan. It is almost impossible to qualify for the finals just by winning against Afghanistan.
If Sri Lanka win today’s match, their final will be pretty much assured.
Today’s possible eleven of the two teams
Sri Lanka: Pathum Nisanka, Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka, Danushka Gunathilaka, Bhanuka Rajapakse, Dasun Shanaka (captain), Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Mahish Thiksana, Asitha Fernando and Dilshan Madushanka.
India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Lokesh Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Dinesh Karthik/Panth, Hardik Pandya, Akshar Patel, Bhubaneswar Kumar, Avesh Khan, Arshaddeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal.
