Asia Cup

Sri Lanka produced an impressive run chase to down India by six wickets on Tuesday and leave their opponents staring at an early exit from the Asia Cup.

It is what gave us the confidence," said man of the match Shanaka, whose team began the tournament with a heavy defeat against Afghanistan but bounced back with three successive wins. "The batting unit won it for us. The bowlers bowled well in patches, Dilshan and Theekshana in particular. Chamika Karunaratne also took two wickets. India hit back with a flurry of wickets, but Bhanuka Rajapaksa and captain Dasun Shanaka, who hit an unbeaten 33, helped Sri Lanka get over the line, with two scrambled byes off the penultimate ball completing the job. Half-centuries from openers Pathum Nissanka (52) and Kusal Mendis (57) gave Sri Lanka the perfect start to their chase of 174 in the Super Four game of a tournament which acts as a tune-up to the T20 World Cup in October-November.

If Afghanistan lose, both India and Mohammad Nabi's men will bid adieu to the tournament, implying a Pakistan-Sri Lanka final. Sri Lanka had struggled to get their campaign off to a good start few nights back with the tournament had kicked off as they have been in the format over the last few months. With just a game in hand now, can Rohit Sharma's men still qualify for the Asia Cup final? 10 months back, at the very same country, India's hopes depended on Afghanistan beating New Zealand in 2021 T20 World Cup. But in a space of three nights, India lost two consecutive matches in the Asia Cup for the first time since 2014, leaving them on the brink of elimination.

Asia Cup 2022 Scenario: With Sri Lanka already with two Super Four wins, that will confirm a Pakistan-Lanka title clash.

Needless to say, they need to beat Afghanistan on Thursday, that too by as convincing a margin as possible. One thing possibly going in India’s favour is that their two defeats have come on the penultimate balls of the matches, and a big win over Afghanistan can still put them back in the equation, if other results go their way. That will seal the Lankans’ spot in the final with three consecutive wins, and the other three teams with one win each, with net run rate being the deciding criterion.

India: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (w), Deepak Hooda, Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, ...

Rohit and Suryakumar got together with India in trouble at 13 for two. It came down to the last over, bowled by Arshdeep Singh, with Sri Lanka needing seven to win. Earlier, Sri Lanka grabbed wickets at regular intervals to limit India to a par score. It took a brilliant over from leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal to pull India back into the contest. Only a few favourable results, and an India win in its last Super 4 match (against Afghanistan on Thursday) can allow the side to progress to the final. Chasing 174, Sri Lanka crossed the finish line with one ball to spare.

"If India lose another match by chance, they will be out of the tournament. Pakistan have the advantage because if they lose one match and win another, ...

A win will take Pakistan closer to the final while Afghanistan will be keen to open their account in the Super 4s.

With a strike rate of 166.66 in the Asia Cup, the hard-hitting opener presents a serious threat to the Pakistan bowlers. Though Pakistan have a perfect record against Afghanistan - having won both the matches in 2013 and 2019 - it's going to be anybody's game in Sharjah. They will need to keep to those levels if Afghanistan are to make the final. He is also among a key group of players Afghanistan will be relying on to lift them up from the bottom of the Super 4 table. Pakistan, meanwhile, have been able to put up convincing victories despite injuries to key players and their captain being out of form. He also hit an 18-ball 40 in a low-key chase in the Asia Cup opener. Bowling still remains their biggest strength, with spinners Shadab Khan and Nawaz sharing 13 wickets between them from three matches. The likes of Fakhar Zaman and Khushdil Shah have also chipped in, and in the previous match, against India, allrounder Mohammad Nawaz blazed away to 42 off 20 balls after being promoted to No.4. And overall, they've shown they no longer just rely on the spin trio of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and captain Mohammad Nabi for wickets anymore. Especially with the experienced Haris Rauf struggling a little bit. The 19-year-old has picked up five wickets in three matches so far in the competition and will have a big role to play in restricting Afghanistan's improved batting.

Bairstow enjoyed a tremendous year scoring a whopping 1,061 runs including six centuries in 10 Tests. The opening batsman for England was left out of the squad for the tournament after a run of poor form in recent months. It looked like a runaway win for Sri Lanka until Yuzvendra Chahal momentarily halted the rush with three for 34. Only a loss by India to Afghanistan could put a stop to the islanders reaching the finale.

Suryakumar also got into the act, striking Madushanka for a maximum. He followed that up with a four and then another six. It also meant that India skipper Rohit Sharma's scintillating 41-ball 72 went in vain, as the islanders completed a chase of 174 with a ball to spare. In the first ball of the next over, Sri Lanka suffered a body blow as Chahal got the big wicket of Mendis, who was trapped lbw in front of the wicket. Sri Lanka were off to a dream start as they removed opener KL Rahul (6) and one-down Virat Kohli (0) in quick succession, leaving defending champions India in early trouble at 13 for two in the third over. The result left the Men in Blue at the mercy of the other teams to have a chance of making it to the final.

"If you see, we now have a well-rounded bowling attack: Naseem Shah and Shahnawaz Dahani are brilliant with the new ball, our spinners are a threat to any side in the middle overs and Haris Rauf is a class act in the death. "The strategic decision to promote left-hander Mohammad Nawaz to number four to counter India’s leg-spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravi Bishnoi, and make the most of the shorter boundary on one side of the ground, fully paid off. It was because of these middle overs that we were able to restrict India to 181-7. Mohammad Nawaz is a utility player and we all knew he had what it takes to deliver in pressure situations. Pakistan captain Babar Azam has already declared that his team will have to make shared efforts to win the trophy from here on. Pakistan will be one of the favourites for the final after defeating Afghanistan on Wednesday.

Dasun Shanaka went in with an unchanged XI after victory over Afghanistan in the last game.

A high-flying Pakistan will take on spirited Afghanistan in a 2022 Asia Cup Super 4 round match in Sharjah.

The surface in Sharjah is likely to have a glossy sheen and dry spots that could aid the spinners. Rizwan underwent an MRI scan on his right knee soon after Pakistan beat India by five wickets in Dubai. If it does, it will have to rely on other results going its way to have a chance of making the final. In comparison, Rashid has four wickets at a higher economy rate of 6.08. Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s 84 off 45 balls had put Afghanistan on course for 200 at one stage, but Sri Lanka restricted it to a lower total by picking wickets in a cluster. For Pakistan, captain Babar Azam’s troubles at the top have been balanced out by Mohammad Rizwan, who comes into this match on the back of two consecutive fifties.

Middle-order crumbles again as Sri Lanka push Rohit & Co to the exit door of Asia Cup.

But that was the end of it. The middle-order collapsed, leaving Ashwin to scrape through the last two overs as they finished with 173/8. He reacted by using his hands to hook while standing upright in the middle of the pitch. Having had his share of short bursts — an average of 23.4 at a strike rate of 138.18 in the last 16 innings through 2022, a big inning from Rohit Sharma was due. India went with a defensive approach against Sri Lanka in Dubai on Tuesday, dropping a frontline bowler in Ravi Bishnoi for the off-spinner. While it is true that Bishnoi is more of a googly bowler than a leg-spinner, purely based on form, India could have backed him in a must-win clash.
