Asia Cup Super Four match India vs Sri Lanka has started.India won the toss and decided batting. It is said tha whoever bat frist in Colombo ground has more chance of winning and you can see in the previous match between India and Pakistan , India batted first and defected Pakistan by paying well.Like the previous match between Pakistan and India ,this time also captain Rohit Sharma and s. Gill come to the pitch to bat first.So far he has scored 44 runs in seven overs while continuing his innings.
The Indian opening pair started very well. They were once 80/0 until Wellalage came to bowl and took 3 wickets. Before that, Srilanka was sloppy on the field and was in a defensive mode. At the moment they are not only fielding well but can put pressure on the Indian batters. Rahul and Kishan are on the pitch and are trying their level best to counter the Srilankan spinners. The current run rate is still above 5 and knowing the Indian batters they would start going after the bowlers when these two spinners are replaced. The match is still well balanced as per my understanding, It would make things more interesting if Srilanka gets another wicket in the next few overs
Sri Lanka have made 170 runs in 40 overs for the loss of three wickets.Sri Lanka have made 170 runs in 40 overs for the loss of seven wickets.Sri Lanka need 43 runs from 56 balls which means they need four runs in each over.Currently D.wellalage and M . Theekshane are batting if they continue their innings like this they will win this match in few overs.
