India vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup 2022 Live Updates

A dropped catch from Arshdeep Singh, an expensive 19th over from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, a miscalculation from skipper Rohit Sharma to not bowl Deepak Hooda in the middle and the ugly reverse sweep of Rishabh Pant to get out to. These were some of the reasons discussed ever since India lost to Pakistan in their first Super Four encounter of Asia Cup 2022.

That loss has now put pressure on the Indian team which faces Sri Lanka tonight at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in UAE. Sri Lanka has already won its first match against Afghanistan and look in red hot form to cause an upset against India.

The toss between Indian captain Rohit Sharma and his Sri Lankan counterpart Dausn Shanaka will take place at 07:00 pm IST and 06:00 pm Local Time. A captain winning the toss at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in UAE would look to field first.

Ind vs SL Pitch Report

The dew is now playing a game-changing role in the second innings as batting is getting easier. However, if bowled on the right lengths and catches are taken regularly, a total of 175 is still worthy of being defendable.

IND vs SL Asia Cup 2022: How will the teams shape up?

The Indian team would look to play Axar Patel in this game as he will bring about a left-arm spin option which would be better off against Sri Lanka as two leg spinners in the team make it a one-dimensional attack. Also, Dinesh Karthik might replace Rishabh Pant.

For Sri Lanka, the only problem is Maheesh Theekshana’s injury. If he is injured, he might be replaced by Praveen Jayawickrama, a left-arm orthodox spinner.

India Predicted Playing 11

Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant/Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel/ Deepak Hooda, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, R.Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh

Sri Lanka Predicted Playing 11

Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Charith Asalanka, Danushka Gunathilaka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Dasun Shanaka (c), Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Maheesh Theekshana/Praveen Jayawickrama, Asitha Fernando, Dilshan Madushanka.
