India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: The best Asia Cup game so far
It's safe to say that we've just witnessed the most thrilling game of this year's Asia Cup. While it may not have gone down to the wire, it remained riveting until the very end. India's performance at the start, sprinting to 80/0 after 10 overs, hinted at the possibility of another big total. However, the 20-year-old Dunith Wellalage had different plans. He dismissed India's top three batsmen – Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli – on his way to a memorable five-wicket haul, with valuable support from Charith Asalanka's four-wicket contribution, which resulted in India being bowled out for 213.
In response, Sri Lanka's batting was initially jolted by Jasprit Bumrah, who quickly took two wickets before Mohammed Siraj joined the action. Although Sadeera Samarawickrama and Asalanka managed to forge a 43-run partnership, the spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja soon turned the tide the game in India's favour. As India continued to chip away at the wickets, it appeared that another significant victory was on the cards. However, Dhananjaya de Silva and Wellalage provided India with a real scare by constructing a counterattacking partnership of 63 runs. Sri Lanka came close, but not close enough, as Hardik, Jadeja, and Kuldeep took the final four wickets, securing India's place in the Asia Cup final.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Dunith Wellalage is your Player of the Match
It's not often that a player from the losing team wins the Player of the Match award but Dunith Wellalage's performance is the type you don't see everyday. Kuldeep Yadav, for his four wickets, would have been a close contender but what this 20-year-old Sri Lankan youngster achieved today did not go unnoticed. A five-wicket-haul followed by a gritty knock of 42 not out. Sri Lanka have found a star for the future
Sep 12, 2023 11:22 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Even Dasun Shanaka wasn't expecting this kind of pitch
"We didn't expect this kind of wicket, I thought it was a batting wicket but we adjusted well, especially Wellalage, DDS and Asalanka. The luxury of two genuine batters, they have been bowling in the nets and I know their real potential, today I had the option of using them today. Seeing the last game against Bangladesh I knew he (Wellalage) would do something special today, he took Kohli's wicket and I was pretty sure it was his day and will take a couple more wickets," said the Sri Lanka captain.
Sep 12, 2023 11:21 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: KL Rahul speaks
KL Rahul: "It was amazing, we were trusted throughout. We were not on the field for 100 overs but how many ever overs we were there it tested us physically, great to see we turned up today and gave it our best. We turned up and that is a big tick mark for us as a team. Always happy when I contribute to the team, when you are batting in the middle order it is important to build partnerships. I have been out for 4-5 months, I will take anything that comes, it was a crucial partnership with Kishan. Third day in a row playing at the same venue, bit of spin but we managed it really well, we were 20-30 runs short, few more partnerships could have got us to 230-240. When you are behind the stumps, you have a good idea as to what the batter is doing and I just passed on the message, luckily it worked for Kuldeep (referring to his tip to Kuldeep before Samarawickrama's dismissal)."
Sep 12, 2023 11:12 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: INDIA WIN! KULDEEP GETS FOUR
And that's the game. India roar back strongly to pick up the final three wickets rather quickly to win the match by 41 runs and become the first team to enter the Asia Cup 2023 final. Full and straight from Kuldeep… and Pathirana plays all over it. Castled and Sri Lanka are bowled 172. A thrilling game but a not-so-thrilling finish in the end after all.
Sep 12, 2023 11:11 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: WICKET! ONE brings TWO!
India right back in the game. Kuldeep Yadav, returning for his final over has struck immediately. Traps Kasun Rajitha with a wrone one. Sri Lanka are 9 down now and Wellalage is stranded at the other end at 42.
Sep 12, 2023 11:09 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: WICKET! Hardik is the man
A much needed breakthrough and it's produced by Hardik Pandya. Theekshana skies one in the air and the substitute fielder Suryakumar Yadav takes the catch. Easy peasy and India breathe.
Sep 12, 2023 10:22 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Pandya reintroduced
Hardik Pandya joins the attack and he bowls a brilliant over, beating the outside edge couple of times.
Two runs come in the over. SL 154-6 (35 overs)
Sep 12, 2023 10:16 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Match is slowly slipping away
Things are slowly getting out of hands for India as Dhananjaya and Wellalage stitch a 50-run stand. Rohit gets his most successful bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav bowling back into the attack.
However, the batters maintain the tempo as Bumrah concedes nine runs in the two overs he bowled. Kuldeep gives away 10 from one over as SL reach 152-6 after 34 overs.
Sep 12, 2023 10:01 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Sri Lanka counterattack
With the partnership building, Rohit reintroduce Kuldeep Yadav into the attack. Dunith Wellalage, who was superb with the ball earlier, hots the spinner for a boundary. He then runs a double before passing the strike to Dhananjaya de Silva.
Eight runs come from the over as Sri Lanka reach 133-6 in 31 overs.
Sep 12, 2023 09:53 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Sri Lanka not giving up yet
Dhananjaya de Silva remains committed to his attacking style, and truthfully, it appears to be Sri Lanka's only path to have a fighting chance. Adopting a defensive approach won't yield any benefits for them. The five wides conceded by Axar Patel certainly didn't aid India's cause, and Dhananjaya's aggressive batting compounded their woes, resulting in a costly 9-run over. Sri Lanka's required runs are now fewer than 90.
Sep 12, 2023 09:37 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: OUT! What a catch from Rohit
WICKET! Rohit takes a sharp catch at slips to give Ravindra Jadeja his 1st wicket of the evening. Sri Lanka go 6 down. After bowling his first five overs from the other end, Jadeja took a breather before Rohit brought him back for his second spell. Immediately strikes and gets the big fish Dasun Shanaka, who has previously haunted India in ODIs, most recently this January itself. And full credits to Rohit, who plucks a sharp one-handed catch in the slips.
Sep 12, 2023 09:31 PM IST
IND vs SL Live Score: BIG over for Sri Lanka as de Silva opens up
Axar Patel has had a somewhat lackluster beginning with the ball. He appears to be struggling to decipher the right approach on this pitch. In contrast, Dhananjaya de Silva seems to have a good grasp of how to bat effectively on this surface. He expertly executes a deft cut shot and follows it up with a powerful strike towards deep midwicket, resulting in a productive 9-run over for Sri Lanka. Score: 95/5 after 25 overs
Sep 12, 2023 09:26 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Shanaka announces himself with a FOUR!
Kuldeep offers a gift to Dasun Shanaka - loopy half-volley - and the Sri Lanka captain obliges. Mind you, this game is far from over. Yes, Sri Lanka may be five wickets down but they aren't chasing a big target. In Dhananjaya de Silva and Shanaka, they need a partnership and if SL get one, you never know. A 14th straight win is a strong possibility.
Sep 12, 2023 09:15 PM IST
IND vs SL Live Score: OUT! SRI LANKA GO 5 DOWN
WICKET! Kuldeep strikes for the second time in just 2 overs, and the dangerous Asalanka is on his way back to the pavilion. Asalanka's affinity for the sweep shot becomes his undoing on this occasion. He inside-edges the ball onto his pad, and Rahul completes the dismissal with a diving catch. The Kuldeep-Rahul partnership is proving to be a formidable combination for India, as they successfully remove two well-set batsmen.
Sri Lanka now 73/5 in 20 overs.
Sep 12, 2023 09:08 PM IST
IND vs SL Live Score: GONE! Kuldeep it is AGAIN
You can't contain him! Kuldeep Yadav dismisses Sadeera Samarawickrama for 17 with a stumping. He lures Samarawickrama with a well-flighted delivery, enticing him to go for the shot outside off stump. The only hitch is the sharp turn, which leaves Samarawickrama swinging the bat in vain. Rahul efficiently gathers the ball and does his part to dislodge the stumps. Kuldeep's performance is nothing short of exquisite. Interestingly, there was a lengthy discussion between Kuldeep and Rahul during the interval between overs, and it appears the strategy they concocted has paid off. The expressions on their faces tell the story – priceless.
Sri Lanka 68/4 in 17.3 overs
Sep 12, 2023 09:05 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: MISSED! CATCH PUT DOWN
Ravindra Jadeja finally created the opportunity but Ishan Kishan spoils his plans. Asalanka mistimes a sweep for the ball to gallop in the air. Ishan Kishan coming in from deep square leg gets underneath the ball but puts it down. The disappointment visible of Jadeja’s face as he tells Kishan to ‘coming running in’. Nonetheless, an opportunity goes begging for India. Could this be a big turning point?
Sep 12, 2023 08:59 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: 'Dheere daal', Rahul tells Jadeja
KL Rahul is juggling the roles of both an umpire and the team captain. He has displayed remarkable accuracy with his decisions behind the stumps, making it regrettable that Rohit didn't heed his advice. Rahul once more keeps his cool and refrains from supporting an audacious appeal, a decision well-made. He also advises Jadeja to "dheere daal" (bowl it slowly) as Jadeja persists in firing those deliveries. It's worth noting that Wellalage troubled India with slower deliveries through the air, a tactic that Jadeja could potentially adopt as well.
Sri Lanka 62/3 and recovering well through Asalanka and Samarawickrama
Sep 12, 2023 08:53 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: DRINKS on the field but notice SL's approch here
In contrast to India's batsmen, the Sri Lankan players aren't content with merely defending or blocking the spin from either Jadeja or Kuldeep. They're displaying audacity, employing both orthodox and reverse sweeps. Essentially, they're actively seeking to accumulate runs, which, to be frank, isn't a poor strategy. However, considering the substantial turn that Kuldeep and Jadeja are extracting, the sustainability of this approach is bound to be intriguing. There's a palpable sense of something brewing, a potential tipping point loading.
Sep 12, 2023 08:47 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka: Spin from both ends now
The way Ravindra Jadeja bowled those first two balls, Muttiah Muralitharan would have jumped off his seat. The first ball turns almost 5 inches after pitching and the second squares up Samarawickrama. Lip-smacking stuff from Jadeja this if you’re a spinner. Keeps it tight in his first over as Sri Lanka reach 47/3 after 13.
Sep 12, 2023 08:40 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka: Bowling change! Kuldeep Yadav it is but IND lose a review
There you have it! The first spinner to take the stage for India is the one who haunted Pakistan last night right here at this venue. After all, why let good form go to waste? Coming off a five-wicket haul less than 24 hours ago, Kuldeep's wrist spin holds the potential to trouble Sri Lanka's batsmen significantly… and he almost does it first ball. Beats Asalanka's defense, prompting Rohit to launch an immediate appeal. KL Rahul opts against it, but the captain signals for the review, only for India to squander one. There is no discernible spike on the ultra-edge as the ball travels past the bat.
Sep 12, 2023 08:36 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Still no spin as Hardik replaces Bumrah
Ten overs have been bowled, yet Rohit Sharma persists with pace as Hardik Pandya enters the bowling attack for his maiden over. The required run rate hovers just above 4.3, but considering the Sri Lankan batsmen seem to be adapting to the pace, this might be an opportune moment to introduce one of our slower bowlers. The camera shifts its focus to Ravindra Jadeja, who can be seen warming up vigorously. He appears to be a likely choice for the first change in the bowling lineup. Recall the havoc Wellalage wreaked upon India, and Rohit would be banking on Jadeja's left-arm spin to produce a similar impact.
Sep 12, 2023 08:32 PM IST
IND vs SL Live Score: FOUR! As crisp as they come
It takes Charith Asalanka 9 deliveries but he is finally off the mark with probably the shot of the innings. Overpitched from Siraj and Asalanka leans into the drive to cream it through the off side. And thanks to the lightning outfield, Ishan Kishan at covers gives up even before starting. He just goes to pick the ball up. Asalanka then follows it with another boundary – a top edge for 4. Doesn’t matter how they come as long as the runs are being scored.
The Powerplay is over and Sri Lanka move to 39/3 after 10 overs.
Sep 12, 2023 08:27 PM IST
IND vs SL Live Score: FOUR! Sri Lanka really needed it
After getting beaten four balls in a row, Sadeera Samarawickrama connects one off Bumrah and rather sweetly through the covers. The ball races for a boundary – the fifth of their innings. Bumrah completes his fifth over and goes off the field to take a breather Despite there being not much swing or lateral movement, Bumrah has owned the batters two night in a row now with equally vicious opening spells. Welcome back, BOOM! Boy did we all miss you.
Sri Lanka 31/3 in 9 overs.
Sep 12, 2023 08:16 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup: OUT! Sri Lanka are tottering here!
OUT! India have picked up a third wicket. This time it's Siraj with the blow as he sends Karunaratne packing. The former Sri Lanka captain was stuck and went into a shell but he should know that Siraj is not the bowler to go after and that too so soon. He too gets beaten for pace as Dimuth slashes at a wide one to give a catch to Shubman Gill at slips who takes it smartly.
Sep 12, 2023 08:13 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka: WICKET! Bumrah is unstoppable
OUT! Slower one and a simple catch. Bumrah with a second wicket as he gets Nissanka. A bit of confusion there as at first, it looked like a bump ball but replayed showed otherwise. The officials referred it to the third umpire which makes it clear. What a set-up though. Bumrah rushed Nissanka with pace in the first two ball and then rolled his fingers over the ball to take the pace off. What a crafty bowler this guy is.
SL 25/2 in 6.4 overs.
Sep 12, 2023 08:09 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka: Still BUMRAH for India!
The India quick is back for his 4th over as Rohit sticks to pace. Gets hit for a boundary first ball as Nissanka goes over the infield but follows it with a pacey short ball outside off and then a spot on Yorker. Oh man, this Bumrah makes this Indian attack look like a totally different unit.
Sep 12, 2023 08:06 PM IST
IND vs SL Live: Dimuth blocks, blocks and blocks
Not quite sure what Dimuth Karunaratne’s intensions are here. With 2 off 16 balls he surely looks in no hurry. Sri Lanka aren’t chasing a dauting target we get it, but it may start to look bigger than usual once the spinners come in. A second maiden over for Siraj as Sri Lanka reach 21/1 in 6 overs.
Sep 12, 2023 07:59 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: FOUR! Delicate from Kusal Mendis
The experiences Kusal Mendis is off the mark with a clip off his pads for FOUR. At first it looked as if the timing wasn't good enough, but it was just the opposite. Ishan Kishan sprinted after the ball but couldn’t get there. A much-needed boundary for SL after consecutive maidens. The crowd goes wild.
Sri Lanka 15/1 after 4 overs
Sep 12, 2023 07:49 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: WICKET! Edged and Taken
Twisted his ankle? What's that? Bumrah comes steaming in for his second over and strikes first ball as Pathum Nissanka is out caught behind. Thick edge and KL Rahul puts on display a fine piece of wicketkeeping - diving to his right and completes the catch. And what more? Bumrah finishes the over as a wicket maiden. So that's two maidens in a row now for India and it's still only the two new-ball quicks operating.
Sri Lanka 7/1 in 2.1 overs as Nissanka is dismissed for 6 off 7 balls.
Sep 12, 2023 07:48 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Siraj starts off with a MAIDEN!
Mohammed Siraj right on target in the first 6 overs. With a minimal amount of swing on offer. The India quick finds his line and length right away. Keeps Karunaratne quiet.
Sep 12, 2023 07:42 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Bumrah gives the entire India a MASSIVE SCARE
Jasprit Bumrah produces a scary sight as he twists his ankle during follow-through and lands awkwardly on the pitch. Thankfully and much to the relief of 1.4 billion Indians, he is alright. He walked up and although he returned to his run up gingerly, there is nothing to worry. Even the Indian players looks worried. Why does it happen to Bumrah? Why him all the time? JEEZ!
Meanwhile, a cracking cover drive from Nissanka gets Sri Lanka going as they end the first over on 7/0
Sep 12, 2023 07:40 PM IST
IND vs SL Live Score: And we're back! Whoa, how quick was that
Well as we mentioned earlier, the break wasn't long but was it even 10 minutes? Well, that’s how quickly the Indian fielders and the two openers have made their way out. The experienced Dimuth Karunaratne and the young Pathum Nissanka. Here’s Jasprit Bumrah for India with the new ball, but rest assured, Rohit will bring on the spinners quickly.

IND vs SL Live Score Asia Cup: 213 is what India manage
Maheesh Theekshana celebrates as the final Indian wicket goes down. Axar and Siraj did really well to see off some crucial overs there but with 6 balls left, it was now or never. Axar tried to clear the boundary but the timings wasn't quite there. Sadeere Samarawickrama takes the catch at long on and India have been bowled out for 213 in 49.1 overs.
Sep 12, 2023 07:25 PM IST
IND vs SL Live Score: Axar Patel doing BAPU things!
Two dots and a single given to Siraj off the first three balls from Pathirana. Axar finds the connection off the fourth ball but the ball goes to mid on where the fielder does well to stop the ball. Axar inclusion paying dividends for India. His batting has really risen in the last year and he is adding some valuable runs with India’s No. 11. He takes a single off the last ball and keeps strike for the final over
India 212/9 after 49 overs against Sri Lanka
Sep 12, 2023 07:21 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score Asia Cup Super 4: 200 up for IND, Axar goes big
In the last 3 overs, Mohammed Siraj and Axar Patel are batting like it's the 25th, but India would be happy to know that their resistance has brought up the 200 for the team. As soon as they get there, Axar flexes dome muscles and slaps Theekshana for his first six.
India 208/9 after 48 overs against Sri Lanka
Sep 12, 2023 07:17 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: UPDATE - Innings break reduced to 10 overs
Ravi Shastri called the decision 'commonsense prevailing'. And rightly so. Made little sense to take a 40 minute break followed by another half an hour interval. Remember, we have a match to finish. The rain has done its bit to delay the Asia Cup games as much as it could but cricket has emerged as winner. Nonetheless, here we go. Play resumes: Theekshana to Axar Patel and it's WIDE.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Positive scenes, encouraging signs

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have tipped their hats to the dedicated staff at the R Premadasa Stadium. At this moment, both teams are back on the field, along with the umpires.

But most of the outfield covers have been taken off. Almost like poetry, the ground staff had taken off the covers on the pitch and replaced it one of those on the outfield and now, they are surgically taking off the others. Can't help but be mesmerised by the way they work in this country.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: OUT! ASALANKA GETS 2 IN 2
Kuldeep caught at slips, he goes for a golden duck. Charith Asalanka, the part-time bowler who has never bowled in this tournament, has taken four and is on a hat-trick as well. He will bowl to Mohammed Siraj. Those empty stands we spoke off earlier? Ya well, it is full now and heaving. Rain has stayed away and the Sri Lankans have put on a show.

Quick and spinning, Jadeja looks to defend off the backfoot, it spun right past him, outside edge and Mendis takes a sharp catch. Jadeja looked back immediately and that is a straight giveaway. India have been completely undone by spin here. Can their own spinners do the same later?

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: GONE! 5 FOR WELLALAGE!
Big appeal for caught behind, has he got a wicket off the last ball of his spell? Umpire shakes his head, Shanaka takes the review.

What a performance this has been today from the 20-year-old, he has got Sri Lanka one wicket away from getting into the Indian tail.

Four runs off that over from Dhananjaya. Shanaka not taking Wellalage off the attack, he is coming back to bowl his fifth. Kishan and Rahul currently not looking to do anything crazy at the moment, which is exactly what they need. Their run rate remains above 5.5.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score Asia Cup Super 4: FOUR! Kishan gets one off Wellalage

Sep 12, 2023 04:22 PM IST
IND vs SL Live score: India 97/3 in 17 overs
Well the positive in all this for India is that Axar Patel will be relishing this. But, for him to do anything, India need to get a competitive total here. Which means that Kishan and Rahul, the two competitors for the No.5 and wicketkeeper position, have to see Wellalage out and put up a big stand here. Both have three runs on the board, Kishan has faced 12 balls, Rahul 5.
Sep 12, 2023 04:14 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: GONE! NOW ROHIT FALLS TO WELLALAGE!
Dunith Wellalage has shredded the Indian top three to pieces. He got Gill, then Kohli and now the dangerous looking Rohit who has hardly looked even bothered by any delivery before this today. He got the ball to turn so much but here, it skids in straight. Rohit trying to defend off the backfoot but the ball keeps low at a good pace. Rohit tried to bring the bat down but the ball has already gone past him, the wickets are already lit up. Just like how the crowd has been lit up here by Wellalage. India were cruising at 80/0 when Wellalage was getting ready to bowl his first ball, they are now 91/3 by the time he is done bowling the first ball of his third over.
Rohit Sharma b Wellalage 53 (48), India 91/3 in 15.1 overs

Dunith Wellalage with his first ball! Angling into middle stump and flighted, it dips just as it reaches the batter. Gill seems to play for the turn but it doesn't, it goes past him as he falls over and knocks the off stump. What a delivery that is, Gill completely deceived by it.

Rohit has laid into Shanaka in this over. The fourth ball is sent in at a length, Rohit smashes it straight back and past mid-on. The fifth ball was too full outside off and Rohit sends it away with a square drive.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: SIX! MAKE A PAINTING OF THAT ONE
Rohit Sharma gets to 10,000 ODI runs with the most sumptuous of shots! He has also gone past Shahid Afridi's record for most sixes in the Asia Cup, with this one being his 27th. Good length delivery for the fifth of the seventh from Rajitha. Rohit meets it with a lofted straight drive. Just the most perfect timing on it and the ball sails over the sight screen.
Sep 12, 2023 03:29 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score Asia Cup Super 4: Five Wides and then another wide
Well India have effectively got six runs off the third ball of the seventh over. Rajitha goes down the leg side and the keeper stands no chance first up, it goes to the boundary. The second time the keeper does get it but it is wide down the leg side nonetheless.
Sep 12, 2023 03:25 PM IST
Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 Live Score: FOUR! Great timing and a misfield
Shanaka strays on Rohit's pads for the second last ball of the 6th over and the Indian captain nails the timing on his flick. Charith Asalanka seems to have got to it at the boundary but the ball pops out of his hands as he rolls after diving and darts over the boundary.

Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 Live Score: Steady start for India
Just the one boundary thus far in the first three overs, which is quite different from what was the case against Pakistan. However, it has to be noted singles and doubles have come easily for the two batters because of which Rohit is on 9 off 13 while Gill is on four off five.
Sep 12, 2023 03:09 PM IST

IND vs SL Live score: India's lineup
So, India have chosen to keep Rahul and Bumrah in the XI while they are hot. They also have a deeper batting lineup, Axar Patel is a far more sure bet with the bat than Shardul Thakur, despite the latter's tendency to do utterly, ridiculously, extraordinary things right when you think that all is lost. On top of all that, Sri Lanka will have to deal with potentially 30 overs of high class spin bowling. At least on paper, there are going to be no honeymoon phases for them in their innings.
Sep 12, 2023 02:40 PM IST
Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 Live Score: What Rohit Sharma said
“We are going to have a bat. That's the challenge you come across as a sportsman, different challenges thrown at you as a player and as a team. We ensured everyone got into the pool after the game last night. They are fresh as we had five days off before these two games. Last game was good for us, we batted well and then came out to defend the total with some good bowling. But again this is a new day and a fresh game. The pitch looks different, looks a lot drier and there's no grass and hence we bring in Axar for Shardul. It might assist the spinners but we also have three quality pacers.”

MS Dhoni's legacy is obviously has largely been to the benefit of Indian cricket but such is his impact on players that foreign players in CSK have also improved under him. Today, India will come up against that part of Dhoni's legacy that would hurt them. Matheesha Pathirana and Mahesh Theekshana have been players transformed after their two-year stint with CSK and they have been the driving force of Sri Lanka's unbeaten run in this tournament.

IND vs SL Live score: No Hasaranga no problem for Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka were unbeaten since the World Cup qualifiers but they came into this Asia Cup as a rather depleted side. For one, their biggest star Wanindu Hasaranga was ruled out with injury. As were Dushmantha Chameera (pectoral tear), Dilshan Madushanka (oblique tear), and Lahiru Kumara (side strain). And yet, they have gone about their business almost as if they are missing no one, with a different player putting their hand up in each match.

Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 Live Score: Preserving Hardik Pandya
The three matches India have played in the Asia Cup have also been a demonstration of just how important Hardik Pandya is for their cause in the World Cup. He bailed India out with the bat in the first match against Pakistan. Then he bowled seven overs against Nepal and broke a good partnership by dismissing Dipendra Singh Airee and yesterday, he bowled five intense overs and took the all-important wicket of Babar Azam. There is a chance that India might choose to rest him and maybe let Axar Patel or Shardul Thakur get some overs and runs today.
Sep 12, 2023 01:56 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Could SKY be given a go again?
KL Rahul had a busy day yesterday. Apart from that whirlwind partnership with Kohli in which the pair ran the Pakistan fielders to the ground in addition to hitting boundaries, Rahul also kept wickets for all but the first few overs of the Pakistan innings. It isn't too far-fetched to think that he might be rested after all that considering that was only his first match on returning from a long-term injury. Conversely, one could also imagine the Indian management thinking that Rahul is hot right now and should not be rested. Instead he can be given more game time as a wicketkeeper and so Ishan Kishan could be dropped. Either way, if India feel tempted to give Suryakumar Yadav another go, either Rahul or Kishan will have to be excluded from the team.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Gambhir on Kohli winning player of the match vs Pakistan
Virat Kohli had won the player of the match for his century against Pakistan but Gautam Gambhir disagreed with that. "For me, it's Kuldeep Yadav. Can't look beyond him. I know Virat got a hundred KL (Rahul) got a hundred. Rohit (Sharma), Shubman Gill got fifties but on a wicket like this where it was seaming swinging, if someone get five wickets in 8 overs, especially against Pakistan batters, who play spin really well, is a game-changing moment. I can understand if it was Australia, South Africa or New Zealand because they don't play spin that well. This just shows the quality of the bowler. He beat batters in the air and he beat batters off the wicket as well. Going into the World Cup, that is great for Indian cricket because now you have two attacking pacers upfront and Kuldeep… Three bowlers who can take wickets at any stage of the game," Gambhir said.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Kohli's love story with Colombo
With his century yeterday, Kohli became just the second batter after South Africa great Hashim Amla to have scored tons in four consecutive ODIs at the same venue. Remember that India are playing at the same venue today and if Kohli does play in this, Sri Lanka would be quite weary of letting him have second or third chances the way Pakistan did. Kohli's stats at the R Premadasa are just mind boggling - in nine ODIs that he has played at the stadium, Kohli has scored 641 at a mind-boggling average of 128.20 and strike rate of 99.84. He holds the record for most centuries at the venue jointly with Sanath Jayasuriya and Sachin Tendulkar.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score Asia Cup Super 4: Kuldeep Yadav - the real deal
There was a point in Star Sports' broadcast show yesterday where Waqar Younis pointed out that no one in the studio is talking about Kuldeep Yadav as far as India's most potent weapons go. Sure enough, Kuldeep went on to take five wickets and decimated Pakistan, allowing India to run off to a 228-run win. Kuldeep is named in the World Cup squad and he has been in sensational form in recent months in both ODIs and T20Is.
Sep 12, 2023 01:02 PM IST
IND vs SL Live score: Could India rest players?
India have never been a team to shy away from resting their big players. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have had multiple "rest" periods over the course of the last three years. The pair have been "rested" from T20Is since the last T20 World Cup. Jasprit Bumrah has been rested multiple times in the past as well. With the World Cup later this year being the real priority for the team, they might just consider resting Bumrah at least and perhaps even someone like Kohli or Rahul considering all of these players had fairly heavy workloads yesterday. The fact that today's play could be heavily interrupted by rain, is another factor that could lead to that decision.
Sep 12, 2023 12:50 PM IST
Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 Live Score: Bumrah's blockbuster opening spell
Among the features of India's runaway win over Pakistan yesterday was Jasprit Bumrah spitting fire in his opening salvo. He had openers Fakhar Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq dancing to his tunes, eventually providing India with the breakthrough by dismissing the latter in the fifth over which ended up being a wicket-maiden. Bumrah had made his comeback from a year-long spell on the sidelines due to injury in the T20I series against Ireland last month but this was the first time he had taken up an ODI workload and he excelled. It remains to be seen how he has held up after that though.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Rohit on the SL groundsmen
The groundsmen at the R Premadasa Stadium were extraordinary in the way they covered nearly every inch of the ground almost every time it rained. It was their intuition that ensured that the outfield remained dry yesterday as they covered up the ground well before the heavy rains came around. Rohit Sharma acknowledged their contribution. “We just wanted to get out on the park to get some game time. A lot of guys haven't had that. That could happen only thanks to a great effort from the groundsmen. I know how tough it is to cover and remove covers from the whole ground. On behalf of the entire team, I would like to thank them,” he said.

He will be playing his 241st innings today and his teammate Virat Kohli, obviously, had got to 10,000 ODI runs in just 205 innings. He would be jumping past the likes of Sachin Tendulkar (259 innings), Sourav Ganguly (263), Ricky Ponting (266), Jacques Kallis (272), MS Dhoni (273) and Brian Lara (278).

There are quite a few records that the Indian captain could upend today, starting with Shahid Afridi's record for most sixes in the history of the Asia Cup. Afridi had hit 26 maximums and Rohit equalled that during his innings against Pakistan on Sunday. He is also 10 sixes away from equalling Chris Gayle's record for most sixes by a player in the history of international cricket.

“13,000 runs, I can't say anything about that man, he is just phenomenal. Words are short to describe what a great cricketer he is. I have always felt comfortable playing with him. He runs really hard for his and his partner's runs. Communication is good with him, we have both been in these situations before. Initially he gave me some time for the quick singles, I had asked for it because I needed to feel comfortable with my own body. He was doing what he does best which gave me time to get into the game and I started playing my shot.,” said Rahul after the match yesterday
Sep 12, 2023 12:09 PM IST
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Rohit all praise for Rahul
Rohit emphasised the significance of Rahul's century in the team's triumph against Pakistan. "Virat's innings was brilliantly paced. And then KL, last minute to get back from injury and play 5 minutes before the toss. We told him to get ready. Shows the mindset of the player. Looking at how we batted, there were lots of positives with the openers and then Virat and KL. Fantastic performance, right from yesterday. When we started, we knew the wicket was good and we had to adjust with the rain, The two experienced (Kohli and Rahul) guys we knew they'd take time to get their eye in and then we could get going," India captain said in a post-match presentation.

IND vs SL Live score: ‘Manager had to run to the hotel and get my stuff’
Ishan Kishan had made it utterly impossible for the Indian team to drop him based on his brilliant form in ODIs this year. Shreyas Iyer had made the No.4 spot his own before his long injury layoff. And so, it is difficult to blame Rahul when he says that he had not expected to play at all. Moreover, had he been ready for that, it wouldn't have given us the comedy of imagining the Indian team manager out of breath in the dressing room with Rahul's kit and gear, probably holding back a few choice curse words for the star batter as well. How do we know all this happened? Well, Rahul said it himself after the match.
"Five minutes before the toss, Rahul bhai came and told me that I might have to play because Shreyas got a back spasm. And I had not brought any batting gear, did not get my batting t-shirts, or skins. I had come only knowing that I would be carrying water and had brought only one full-sleeved t-shirt, so, at the last minute, the manager had to run to the hotel and get my stuff. But this has not happened for the first time so mentally, I know what to do when I am thrown in the ring," he said.

Anushka Sharma posted a photo of her TV screen featuring Kohli from the match, and wrote "Super knock, super guy (clapping and red heart emojis)!!"
Athiya Shetty, meanwhile, had a note of appreciation for her husband KL Rahul. "Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise... You are everything, I love you. #1," she said.

Sri Lanka may have won 13 matches on the trot but today, they are up against an opposition who have beaten them eight times in the last 10 matches between them. The last match between these two is especially one that Dasun Shanaka's men would love to delete from their collective memories. India scored a whopping 390/5 with Virat Kohli scoring an unbeaten 166 off 110 and Shubman Gill scoring 116 off 97. In response, Sri Lanka were all out for 73 with Mohammed Siraj taking four wickets. India won the match by an eye-watering margin of 317 runs. Talk about a decimation.

If hypothetically all of India's matches get washed out from here on, they will be playing Sri Lanka in the final unless there is a shock thrashing in the games involving Pakistan and Sri Lanka. A victory for India today, though, will confirm their qualification to the final.

Kohli has now matched Hashim Amla to score the most consecutive centuries at the same venue in ODIs. Amla had four consecutive centuries in Centurion while Kohli has scored as many at the R Premadasa Stadium now. He is the fastest to 13,000 ODI runs. He was already the fastest to 8000, 9000, 10,000, 11,000 and 12,000 ODI runs as well. He is also now just two centuries away from equalling Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 ODI centuries. That last one was a stat that most fans and commentators would have thought is untouchable back when Tendulkar got there. Well, Virat Kohli had other plans.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score Asia Cup Super 4: Virat Kohli's epic vs Pakistan
When India resumed their innings in the reserve day, Kohli was still in single digits. Rahul hit the boundaries early on in their partnership but Kohli never let go of an opportunity to run. It meant that while he had hardly taken any risks, he reached his half century at a strike rate of nearly 90. As he does most of the time, Kohli accelerated after that and soon, he scored his 47th ODI century in just 84 balls. If all that wasn't enough, he ended the Indian innings with a four off a no ball, a four off the free hit and then a six off the last ball. Kohli finished off unbeaten on 122 off 94 having hit nine fours and three sixes.

IND vs SL Live score: KL Rahul's comeback
KL Rahul's waning form in T20s and Tests had led to a number of questions on why he should be given an automatic spot in the ODIs, which basically stated that people had forgotten just how many times he had bailed India out in the No.5 position. On Sunday, he walked in at No.4 and paired up with Virat Kohli just when it looked like Pakistan were on the rise. Rahul paced his innings expertly, aggressive enough in the beginning on the reserve day to throw Pakistan off their lines and then slowing or hastening his strike rate when required. He ended up scoring unbeaten 111 off 106 deliveries, his innings laced with 12 fours and two sixes.
Sep 12, 2023 10:48 AM IST
Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 Live Score: Question mark over Iyer
Rohit had said that Shreyas Iyer has suffered a back spasm because of which he was not available for selection against Pakistan. It is highly unlikely that he will return for this match, especially considering KL Rahul came in and scored a century in that position. There are no details on the injury that Iyer is suffering apart from what Rohit said at the toss, which is that he suffered from back spasms just before the game. It was Iyer's back that forced him to sit out in a long injury break for all these months and so the fact that it has acted up again might be a cause of worry for the Indians.

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score Asia Cup Super 4: Colombo weather update
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: First things first, what's the weather gonna be like in Colombo today? The predictions are nothing different from the match against Pakistan. In fact, if anything, there is a high chance that the start of today's India vs Sri Lanka might be a delayed one as there is a storm predicted at around 3 pm (the scheduled start of the match). The forecast does get a little better between 4 and 6 pm but dark clouds are again expected to hover post that taking the chances of rain to 85%. If luck is on our side then we might just be able to get a curtailed game in. Finger Crossed!

India vs Sri Lanka Live Score Asia Cup Super 4
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score: Hello and welcome to the live coverage of India vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup Super 4 match at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Boy, we've had no time, quite literally, to catch our breath from the India vs Pakistan match. Spare of thought for the Indian players, who will have to be on the field for three consecutive days now. The incentive is quite big though. If India win today against Sri Lanka, then they more or less seal their qualification for the final. Their net run rate has reached stratospheric heights thanks to the record 228-run win against Pakistan.
