00:00 Team India stormed into the Asia Cup 2023 final with a 41-run victory over Sri Lanka
00:06 on their home turf. Despite defending a below-par total of 213, Indian bowlers stole the show.
00:13 In the first power play, Jaspreet Bumrah and Mohamed Siraj provided the much-needed breakthroughs,
00:19 putting Dasun Shanaka's left side in a tight spot. Later, spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra
00:25 Jadeja capitalised on the situation, picking up wickets at crucial stages in the game.
00:31 Kuldeep Yadav picked up four for 43, finishing Sri Lankan innings by getting the wickets
00:37 of Kasun Rajitha and Mathisha Patirana, allowing India to clinch a fine victory.
00:43 Despite this loss, young Tunit Velalage of Sri Lanka managed to stay unbeaten at 42,
00:50 a mature knock even as wickets fell around him. His stand with Dhananjaya De Silva breathed
00:56 life into the match but ended abruptly as Ravindra Jadeja claimed De Silva's wicket
01:02 after the duo shared a stand of 63 runs for the seventh wicket. Velalage was awarded the
01:07 Player of the Match, showing off his incredible all-round skills that Sri Lanka can take pride
01:13 in. The spinning duo of Velalage and Charithas Lanka had earlier bound the Indian bats,
01:20 allowing a humble total of 213. The left-arm spinner Velalage showed his mettle with 5
01:26 for 40 against a star-studded Indian line-up. The match wasn't without its moment. India's
01:33 captain Rohit Sharma blazed across the field with 53 of 48 deliveries, standing out in
01:39 the dull Indian batting performance and crossing the 10,000-run mark in ODIs.
01:44 Velalage dismantled India's fiery start, dismissing key players like Shubman Gill,
01:50 Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to push India on the back foot. None of the following batsmen
01:55 could hold their own against the uneven bounce and turn of the pitch, sealing India's fate.
02:02 Nevertheless, thanks to commendable efforts of the bowlers, India emerged triumphant,
02:07 securing their spot in the final of the Asia Cup 2023.
02:12 Sri Lanka, whose 13-match unbeaten streak came to an end tonight, will next face Pakistan
02:18 in their last Super 4 match, which will be a knockout as the winner will qualify for
02:23 the final.
