India vs Sri Lanka – The Indians will be under pressure when they face Sri Lanka in the third game of the Asia Cup 2022 Super Four. The Indians were defeated in a close game against archrivals Pakistan and must win this game to remain in contention for a place in the final. Sri Lanka comes into this game with a win over Afghanistan, which gives the team confidence.
In this format of the game, the Sri Lankan team has a poor record against the Indians. In the last 15 games between the two teams, they have only defeated the Indians three times. This will most likely play on their minds. The Indians have a good record at this venue, which will boost their confidence. We anticipate a close contest because the stakes are high on both sides.
The Super Four, 3rd Match of India vs Sri Lanka will take place on September 6th, 2022 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.

Preview:
Rohit Sharma’s team entered the tournament with a shaky bowling attack, which was exposed in the final game against Pakistan. The team blew it in the final three overs of the game, losing by five wickets due to sloppy fielding. They have a good record against Sri Lanka in recent years, and Sharma wants his players to be inspired by those victories.
Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul were excellent at the top, and the team would benefit from another strong performance from them in this game. The return of Virat Kohli to form is great news for the team, and he will look to add quick runs with Surya Kumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant. As Ravindra Jadeja’s absence was felt in the previous game, Hardik Pandya and Deepak Hooda will need to do the heavy hitting down the order.
Their bowlers face a significant challenge after failing to defend 181 runs in the previous game. As the senior bowler on the team, Bhuvneshwar Kumar must watch his line. He and Arshdeep Singh will need to get early wickets. Ravi Bishnoi performed admirably in the previous game, but the team would like to see better performances from Hardik Pandya and Yuzvendra Chahal, as the team lacks depth in the bowling department.
Full Squad:
KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Deepak Hooda, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ravi Bishnoi, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Dinesh Karthik, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Avesh Khan
Players to watch out for:
Virat Kohli
The Indian number three batter returned to form on Sunday, hitting four fours and one six against Pakistan. So far in this tournament, he has scored 35, 59 not out, and 60.
Arshdeep Singh
On Sunday, the left-arm pace bowler conceded only 27 runs in 3.5 overs. In eight of his nine IT20 appearances, he has taken wickets.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Despite being expensive against Pakistan, the right-arm quick bowler picked up the crucial wicket of Mohammad Nawaz.

Sri Lanka (Match Odds – 3.40):
Preview:
Dasun Shanaka’s team has won two games in a row. They arrive here after a close four-wicket win over Afghanistan. The team would be confident after this victory as they chased a large total. The Indians will present a more difficult challenge, and Shanaka would like his players to be in good shape for this match.
Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis formed an effective partnership in the previous game, and the team expects them to repeat their performance. Danushka Gunathilaka has also scored runs, and along with Charith Asalanka and Shanaka, he will look to lead the middle order. The batting lineup includes Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Chamika Karunaratne.
In this match, the bowling attack would be put under pressure. Maheesh Theekshana and Asitha Fernando were costly in the previous game, and they must get off to a better start in this one. Hasaranga bowled well and will be expected to lead this attack. Shanaka, Chamika Karunaratne, and Dilshan Madushanka will also be expected to perform better with the ball.
