Ind vs SL, Asia Cup, Super Four, Match 9: India eye their first win in Super 4 stage© AFP
India vs Sri Lanka, Asia Cup 2022, LIVE Updates: Rohit Sharma has gone berserk against Sri Lanka as he is dealing in boundaries. Rohit Sharma first raced to his 28th T20I fifty in only 32 balls to keep India going against Sri Lanka and then further changes the gears to run amok. Suryakumar Yadav, on the other end, is giving good company to him. Earlier, Virat Kohli was clean bowled for a duck by Dilshan Madhushanka soon after Maheesh Theekshana trapped KL Rahul in front of the stumps to give Sri Lanka a great start. Earlier, Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka won the toss and opted to bowl first in the Super 4 tie of the ongoing Asia Cup. India face Sri Lanka in their second game of the Super 4 stage. The match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is a crucial one for Rohit Sharma and company, given they have already lost their opening match to Pakistan. A defeat would more or less knock India out of the tournament as they will then have to rely on a lot of permutations and combinations for final match berth. On the other hand, Sri Lanka have come to this game after registering a thrilling four-wicket win over Afghanistan last week. (LIVE SCORECARD)
