#ASIACUP : Test Match Vs Sri Lanka

Team India qualify for the final.

New star for Sri Lanka is here. 



Dunith Wellalage gets the player of the match award. 






Sri Lanka Target was  214.

Very absorbing contest. India breaks Sri Lanka's winning streak of 13 wins.

Another ..last one bowled through legs by Kuldeep Yadav. And India won by 41 runs.

India overcome Dunith Wellalage's fighting all-round show to notch up second win in the Super 4 stage.

The youngster Wellalage remained not out on
42 off 46.  What a day 20 year old  had . Very promising for Sri Lanka. 

What a way to get 150th wicket , for Kuldeep. 

Preserved Kuldeep Yadav in his  10th over :  bowled no.9 Rajitha, disloging off bail 1st ball. 172 / 9.

Probing Hardik gets wicket - Sky catches brilliantly at shortmid-wicket - 171-8 . Hardik- 1/14 - 5 ov. Need 43. 

Very absorbing contest. 

170/7 : 40 Overs. SL need 44. Wellalage 41*(44).

At last Jadeja gets de Silva on 41 and breaks very dangerous,  strong partnership, after getting hit for 4 on 1st ball : 162/7. Wellalage 35* , playing with ease.

Sri Lanka getting closer 66 off 100 now,  Indian bowlers looking ineffective. Hardik bowls.

 Partnership doing good 50* off 53  - 150 /6 - 33.4 ov.

Youngster Wellalage doing it with bat too..hits Kuldeep Yadav for a fearless six - 10 off over. 

Lankan pair looking confident. Playing Kuldeep comfortably. Time for Bumrah again. 

125/6 -30 Ov. Need 89 more.

25 Ov  = 99/5. Shanaka with de Silva. Need 115 off 150.

Kuldeep breaks dangerous looking partnership by getting advancing Sadeera stumped : 68/4.

After Asalanka dropped by Ishan off Jadeja 

10 Overs : 39/3.

Siraj joins to make it 25/3 : 7.1 Ov. Shubman Gill makes overhead catch looks easy at 2nd slip.

He's back, and he's perfect 💫 Boom Boom Bumrah makes it 25/2 - 6.4 Ov. 


Indian Batting : struggled against Sri Lankan Spinners, once they were on. All 10 wickets to spinners - 1st time for India. Sri Lanka bowled opposition for 14th successive time in ODIs.

India were on 80/0 after the 11th over and had scored 35 runs during the previous two overs when the young Wellalage was introduced to the attack. He finished with figures of 5 for 40, including the prize wickets of Gill, Sharma, Kohli, Rahul, and Pandaya bringing Sri Lanka back to the game.

Then, during the second half of the innings, part-time spinner Charith Asalanka was introduced to the attack. Whoever made that decision should be applauded since he did the damage by claiming four wickets cheaply.

India somehow finished off with a decent total, and it'll be a tough challenge for the Sri Lanka batsmen. Yet once again, on another day, Sri Lanka found two different heroes on this record-setting run to dismiss the opposition in 14 consecutive games.

India bowled out 213 off 49.1 overs. 

From 80/0 to 91/3  and 170/4 to 213 .

Rain stops play at 197/9 - 47 Overs. 





Part timer adds 2 more - 4 Wickets. 

Asalanka strikes double blow. 2 in 2.

180/7 - 40 Overs. Jasprit with Axar.
