Sri Lanka would have been eliminated in the group stage if it had been a little bit here and there. It was they who led the way home for Asia Cup top favorites and most title winners India. In the second match of the Super Four, Rohit Sharma’s team lost to Sri Lanka by 6 wickets with one ball to spare. It’s almost time to say goodbye. On the other hand, Sri Lanka has taken a step closer to the finals.

India lost the first match against Pakistan in the Super Four. Despite the loss against Sri Lanka in the second match, India still have a glimmer of hope of reaching the final as per the equation.

For that, Rohit Sharma needs to win the last match against Afghanistan. On the other hand, Afghans have to win against Pakistan. Not only that, Sri Lanka’s Babar Azam, who has won the opening two matches, will also have to win.

In that case the Lankans will have three wins. If the other three teams win one each, one team will go to the finals based on the net run rate.

India scored 173 for 9 after losing the toss and batting at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. After opener Rahul (6) and Virat Kohli (0) failed for three, the other opener Rohit Sharma played a brilliant innings of 72 runs from 41 balls.

Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant added 17 runs from 13 balls but returned to Sajghar after giving good hope with the bat. In the end, Ravishchandan Ashwin scored 15 runs with a six off 7 balls.
