Asia Cup 2022: Super 4, Match 3- India vs Sri Lanka Stats Preview, Player Stats & Approaching Milestones

Virat Kohli’s 32^nd half-century in T20 internationals went in vain as Pakistan sealed an entertaining encounter by five wickets against India in Match 2 of the Super 4 round in the Asia Cup 2022 in Dubai. After suffering a defeat, Rohit Sharma and his side now face a spirited Sri Lankan team, who have registered back-to-back impressive victories in the tournament. The third game of the Super 4 stage takes place on Tuesday, September 06, 2022, in Dubai.

Speaking more about India’s loss to rivals Pakistan, Mohammad Rizwan continued his golden form in this format as he struck 71 while Mohammad Nawaz’s all-round brilliance of 42 off 20 and 1/25 proved too much for the Men in Blue to avoid a defeat. As mentioned above, Kohli’s fifty helped India in reaching a total of 181/7 in 20 overs. Rizwan and Nawaz played solid and vital knocks to take their team over the line this time around.

Talking about the Lankan Lions, they eliminated Bangladesh and then registered a four-wicket win over the in-form Afghanistan side to get off the mark in this round. Dasun Shanaka and his team will look to script yet another victory that would almost make their case stronger for reaching the final. On the other hand, the Men in Blue will look to get back to winning ways in this do-or-die clash with their only match remaining after this game against Afghanistan.
