That's It! India win by 41 runs and make their way into the final of the Asia Cup 2023. They missed out last time but this time they have been clinical and secure a win despite not a great performance with the bat. Kuldeep Yadav has been phenomenal in back-to-back games taking four-wicket haul this time and he was supported well by Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. The Dhananjaya de Silva and Dunith Wellalage partnership was the only time they looked under pressure. Wellalage will be dissappointed as he stays not out on one end. Remarkable all-round show from the Sri Lankan youngster. 

12 Sep, 22:51 (IST)

Out! Dunith Welllage is running out of partners now. Maheesh Theekshana looked solid in defence but as the runs required started to get close to balls left, he tried an attacking stroke and Suryakumar Yadav dived in front to take a brilliant match. 

12 Sep, 22:32 (IST)

Out! Finally Ravindra Jadeja is able to break the partnership that almost took the match away from India. Dhananjaya de Silva loses patience and tries to go over mid on but fails to get the required elevation. Shubman Gill makes no msitake. Massive wicket for India. 

12 Sep, 21:37 (IST)

Out! A poor outing in the Asia Cup 2023 continues for Dasun Shanaka as he is the next to fall getting an outside edge to an away going delivery from Ravindra Jadeja. Rohit Sharma takes a brilliant catch in the slips to ensure the dismissal. 

12 Sep, 21:15 (IST)

Out! Charith Asalanka also departs following Sadeera Samarawickrama. Tries to sweep a delivery from Kuldeep Yadav and gets an underedge. KL Rahul shows quick presence of mind and grabs the catch diving in front. India way ahead in the game now,

12 Sep, 21:10 (IST)

Out! Big wicket and the partnership gets broken. The Sri Lankan batters were getting a touch annoyed and Sadeera Samarawickrama jumps out against Kuldeep Yadav, only for the ball to turn and going through him. KL Rahul does no mistake in the stumping. Sadeera Samarawickrama and Charith Asalanka were looking dangerous and India will be relieved. 

12 Sep, 20:17 (IST)

Out! Mohammed Siraj joins the party and both openers are now inside the hut. Dimuth Karunaratne tries to ease the pressure build by Jasprit Bumrah and edges one to the cordon taken easily by Shubman Gill. Sri Lanka under some real pressure now. 

12 Sep, 20:11 (IST)

Out! Jasprit Bumrah strikes against. Big blow for Sri Lanka as Kushal Mendis departs.  Bumrah sets him and then uses the slower delivery which dips and Mendis lobs it straight to the hands of extra cover. Sri Lanka in trouble now. 

12 Sep, 19:50 (IST)

Out! Jasprit Bumrah shows that the chase will not be easy for the hosts as he strikes early removing opener Pathum Nissanka. The ball lands and seams with Nissanka prodding and edging one behind to the hands of KL Rahul. India draw early blood.  

12 Sep, 19:28 (IST)

That's It! Axar Patel's bravery took India so far as he holes out in the deep trying to take on Maheesh Theekshana. Axar and Mohammed Siraj have India over the 200 mark and will hope their spinners come into play as well. All ten wickets were scalped by the spinners with Dunith Wellalage taking five and Charith Asalanka taking four. A ten minutes break between the innings and the Indian players will be out on the field soon.

Talking about the batting, the likes of Sadeera Samarawickrama and Kusal Mendis have been instrumental in elevating Sri Lanka to competitive totals.
