Match Preview
In the highly anticipated finale clash of the Asia Cup 2023, India will take on Sri Lanka on September 17, Sunday at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. India were the first ones to reach the top two as they defeated Sri Lanka in a nail-biting thriller in Super Fours. With this, they also ended Bangladesh’s chances of making it to the final of the season. The reigning champions took down Pakistan in a rain-affected Super Fours fixture for the season to make it to the final.
Of all the matches India have played in the season so far, they didn't get defeated in any of them. On the other hand, Sri Lanka lost one match, and that was against the Men in Blue.
Toss Prediction
As mentioned, India and Sri Lanka have met once in the current season of the continental showpiece. Speaking of the toss battle, it was the Indian captain, Rohit Sharma who won the toss. With it, the toss tally of the last four ODI games between both the teams, the head-to-head records read 2-2. With this, we feel the chances of Rohit Sharma winning the toss yet again are more, and he will win the toss in the forthcoming battle.
Win Possibility
India and Dasun Shanaka-led boys have encountered once in the marquee ACC event, where the formers recorded a brilliant 41-run victory. Not only this, if we look back at the head-to-head records of both the sides, they have played a total of 166 matches, where India came on top on 97 occasions, while Sri Lanka have won 57 matches.
There is no doubt in the fact that the seven-time Asia Cup winners are in their red-hot form, and they are already eyeing their eighth title. Considering how they have performed in the entire season, it won’t be wrong in saying that the Men in Blue will win the upcoming fixture, and with that their eighth Asia Cup title.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The R. Premadasa Stadium has hosted a total of 159 ODI matches, and seeing the records, 375 stands as the highest recorded score and 78 as the lowest.
The average first inning score of the venue is 225, and considering this, we can expect the first inning score of the final encounter of the 16th Asia Cup 2023 to be around 220-235. Similarly, the average powerplay score of the stadium is 49 and hence, we can expect the score of the match to be between 42-50.
