India vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup 2023 Super Fours Match Live Updates: Hello and welcome to live coverage of IND vs SL Asia Cup 2023 Live Match.
After attaining an emphatic 228-run win over mighty Pakistan in their first Super Fours match of Asia Cup 2023, Rohit Sharma-captained India now faces the challenge of beating Sri Lanka — a team which remains unbeaten for 13 ODIs back-to-back. India vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup 2023 Super Fours match will take place today at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
Both India and Sri Lanka have won one match each so far in the Super Fours stage of Asia Cup 2023. The team that wins today’s match will qualify for the finals of the 2023 Asia Cup. However, rain threat still looms large over the high-octane match.
According to the latest update, Shreyas Iyer is feeling better but his back pain has not been completely cured. The BCCI medical team has advised him to rest and he has not gone to the Colombo stadium with the team for India’s Super 4 match against Sri Lanka, today.
The pitch in Colombo has been favorable for batting. Just a day before here, India, after being invited to bat first, posted a big score of 356 runs in the first innings. Spinners get a lot of help from this pitch due to turn and bounce. After winning the toss, the option of choosing bowling first can prove beneficial.
The Indian team will be action for the third consecutive day, today. It is being predicted by fans and cricket pundits that the team management might ask some players to take rest today.
