Sri Lanka (174/4) beat India (173/8) by 6 wickets in Match 3 of the Super 4s - Asia Cup 2022

[Smbhayi]

Chahal again lucky it didn't reach him..

 

[Pakhs]

Enough runs on the board. Good knock by Rohit and vital cameos by Pant, Pandya and Ashwin.

Its not enough runs most of the time batting side chases this down in Dubai so the bowlers will have to ball well here

 

[Pakhs]

Its a decent start for both teams so far.

 

[Pakhs]

Might be a close one again

 

[Rana]

Nissanka what a player

 

[Nasty Naz]

I can't believe how poorly these guys are batting and getting away with it.

 

[Marooned]

Today it was swinging big and Indian bowlers weren't able to make it count. These are the kind of conditions that you absolutely must cash on.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Easy win for SL ,

 

[Smbhayi]

I clearly remember some Indian fans and some self-proclaimed Pakistan fans saying that SKY's strike rate was 175 and hence his T20 potential is higher than Babar.

But you said you see some said Hooda is better than Babar.., where is the proof..?

 

[NeVerMind]

Kusal Mendis has made a deal with the devil prior to this tournament

 

[Saj]

Some brilliance and some rubbish so far from Sri Lanka's batters.

Real mixed bag.

 

[Justcrazy]

27 after 4 overs

 

[MRSN]

Wasim stats is back

 

[Villager6964]

Trundler arshdeep getting the stick.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is almost 10 here

 

[Marooned]

These were literally mouthwatering conditions for a hot spell upfront but India have no one to make it count.

 

[Villager6964]

Not even a single good commentator in this Asia Cup

 

[Pakhs]

Will be a very close game

 

[sweep_shot]

SL are off to a great start.

This is their game to lose now.

37/0 (4.4 overs).

 

[Smbhayi]

Arshdeep getting a phainta here.. feeding them slot balls..

 

[KingKhanWC]

Required rate is almost 10 here

Nothing to worry about when 10 wickets in hand.

Poor A Singh, he was bullied on social media and seems to have lost all confidence.

 

[Rana]

Arshdeep looks broken

 

[Champ_Pal]

These were literally mouthwatering conditions for a hot spell upfront but India have no one to make it count.

India did get a few chances. But the ball safely landed between the fielders on multiple occasions.

Now the swing is dead and SL batsmen know exactly how much to score.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

They are toying with Indian bowlers

 

[Villager6964]

Always love seeing trundlers getting the phainty.
I always hated when that trundler rumman raees when he used to play for Pakistan.

 

[daytrader]

Feel sorry for Arshdeep, probably the end of his international career if India loses here

 

[Smbhayi]

6, 16 runs already in this over..

 

[Smbhayi]

18 from this over.. big over for sl..

 

[Villager6964]

If srilanka plays spinner well they will win the match with ease but i think this is going to be a very good match

 

[Pakhs]

Huge over

 

[Smbhayi]

Guess ball is not sticking for Arshdeep..

 

[Champ_Pal]

Arshdeep looks broken

He is an upfront swing bowler. But when there is no swing, he will get picked.

I would still have him in the team. He will be handful on pitches with good bounce.

 

[Pakhs]

If srilanka plays spinner well they will win the match with ease but i think this is going to be a very good match

Yes will be a great match

 

[Rana]

Buffet bowling this

 

[sweep_shot]

SL - 45/0 (5 overs).

Not looking good for India now.

 

[Smbhayi]

Wow Chahal greeted with a four..

 

[Marooned]

India did get a few chances. But the ball safely landed between the fielders on multiple occasions.

Now the swing is dead and SL batsmen know exactly how much to score.

I saw those but come on it's embarrassing to see 119k slow swingers in these conditions relying on unconventional wickets so soon.
These were dream conditions for a t20 2nd innings.

 

[Rana]

50 partnership

 

[Saj]

50 up.

Sri Lanka in cruise control so far.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Chahal - Short and Wide.

This guy is our specialist spinner.

 

[Pakhs]

He is an upfront swing bowler. But when there is no swing, he will get picked.

I would still have him in the team. He will be handful on pitches with good bounce.

Dont think so if anything so far what I have seen is that his best delivery is a yorker so a better in the second half than first half.

 

[sweep_shot]

50 is up.

 

[Villager6964]

LOL hahahah this is fun to watch

 

[Ahmed216]

Lankans couldn’t have asked for a better start

 

[Champ_Pal]

Lucky chahal. That should have been belted for 4 too.

 

[Smbhayi]

And Six by Mendis..

 

[Villager6964]

Yuzvendra chahal is really embarrassing for a lead spinner.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Chahal is giving flight and bowling slow. A ton of time for batsmen to get underneath the ball.

 

[Rana]

Perfect powerplay

 

[Smbhayi]

Another good over for SL..

 

[Champ_Pal]

Yuzvendra chahal is really embarrassing for a lead spinner.

He has a good game once every 5 or 6 games. In that he will have a match winning spell. So he keeps getting selected. He goes for plenty on most occasions.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Good start by Lanka but still a long way to go

 

[Nasty Naz]

Sri Lanka looked horrible for the first 3 overs and unfortunate for India those poor shots didn't find the fielders but they're cashing in now big time.

Sri Lanka favourites to win at this point.

 

[Pakhs]

They need Ashwin to bowl well here like Rohit, SL is his favorite team.

 

[Rohan]

Great batting by SL openers so far

 

[Champ_Pal]

Sri Lanka looked horrible for the first 3 overs and unfortunate for India those poor shots didn't find the fielders but they're cashing in now big time.

Sri Lanka favourites to win at this point.

Every team needs a bit of luck initially. Lankans did have some luck. Indian batsmen lost their marbles and played horrible hoicks in the first 3 overs.

 

[Smbhayi]

Wow Chahal saved a four.. even Rohit had cheeky smile seeing that

 

[Champ_Pal]

Wow Chahal saved a four..

That was nothing. He dived because he is so small.

 

[sweep_shot]

SL - 63/0 (7 overs).

Lankans are running away with the game.

 

[Smbhayi]

Ashwin in to the attack..

 

[MRSN]

That was nothing. He dived because he is so small.

small things also get hurt

 

[Ahmed216]

Feel sad for Arshdeep

 

[Marooned]

India honestly has a pathetic bowling attack.

 

[daytrader]

Need a breakthrough India

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

6 by Kusal

 

[Inswing]

Bye Bye India...

 

[Pakhs]

Ashwin in to the attack..

This is the game.. last bowler to come into the attack. He is usually good against SL.

 

[MRSN]

If SL win this they can be favorite to win the cup

 

[Rana]

High quality batting

 

[Smbhayi]

Another six by Mendis, very good shot by him..

 

[Inswing]

Indian bowling attack is joke, even bumrah alone cant make any impact.

 

[Ashmal]

These SL openers playing some classy shots

 

[Marooned]

High quality batting

Halwa no challenge bowling helps.

 

[Smbhayi]

India need to cut down those singles in short thirdman..

 

[Pakhs]

Kusal is good against spin he gets low very well.

 

[Ahmed216]

No way they could have played so freely against Pak attack.
India need an overhaul

 

[Rana]

Will we see 173-0?

 

[Ashmal]

Shoulders already dropping...poor body language by Indian fielders

 

[Waleed93]

But you said you see some said Hooda is better than Babar.., where is the proof..?

I have seen and I remember people on this forum and on social media saying these things.

I am not going to search for the specific comments to prove it to you.

 

[Saj]

India need some inspiration from somewhere.

This is where they really miss Bumrah.
