Asia Cup 2022: India vs Sri Lanka, Super Four: Pitch Report, Probable XI & Match Prediction

India will lock horns with Sri Lanka in the third match of the Super 4 stage in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday, September 06.

Team India are in a do-or-die situation as they lost their opening game of the Super 4 stage against arch-rivals Pakistan by five wickets. Hence, they need to win the game against Sri Lanka in order to stay alive in the multi-team tournament.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka are on a roll after their impressive performances against Bangladesh and Afghanistan in their last two matches. So, for fans, it is going to be a cracker of a game.

India: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant/Dinesh Karthik (wk), Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ravi Bishnoi, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravichandran Ashwin, Arshdeep Singh.
