India beat Sri Lanka by 41 runs to enter the Asia Cup 2023 final at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday. Rohit Sharma’s side posted a 213-run total batting first on a spinning surface and followed up with an impressive bowling performance to bundle the host for 172.
Kuldeep Yadav strikes twice in an over to clean up Sri Lanka’s tail. Dunith Wellalage is unbeaten on 42 and his effort in vain as Sri Lanka lose by 41 runs. India qualify for the final of the tournament with this win.
India will cement their spot in the final and Bangladesh will be out of contention, and the winners of the Pakistan vs Sri Lanka game on Thursday will face India in Sunday’s final. In case of a washout on Thursday, the team with the better net run-rate between Pakistan and Sri Lanka will make the final (Sri Lanka are better placed at this stage).
