Preview
India will play against Sri Lanka in their second match of the Super Four stage in the Asia Cup 2023, at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. In the continental cricket tournament, Team India didn’t lose a fixture during the group stage, but they didn’t get the opportunity to display their A game either. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka have already won three matches in a row to begin the Asia Cup, which will give them all the confidence in the world to upstage their much-fancied opponent on September 12.

Analysis
Indian batting lineup has been spearheaded by captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill in the Asia Cup 2023, while Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya have made their presence felt in the tournament with the bat too. The bowling department of Team India hasn’t yet been posed with a stiff challenge in the competition, but the likes of Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Siraj were amongst the wickets against Nepal, which will be a great boost for the team management, while looking forward to their upcoming matches.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka's batting lineup has delivered the goods in the first three matches of their Asia Cup 2023 campaign, with Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, and Sadeera Samarawickrama leading the charge. In the bowling lineup, the consistent wickets from Maheesh Theekshana and Matheesha Pathirana during the continental cricket tournament, coupled with the decent performances from the support bowlers has helped Sri Lanka stay undefeated thus far.
