With two wins in two days, against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, respectively, the Indian cricket team qualified for the ongoing Asia Cup final on Tuesday. After Pakistan scored 228 runs in their first match of the Super 4 on Monday, India needed a win to seal their passage. Despite posting just 213 runs, India registered a 41-run win after bowling out Sri Lanka for 172. While a win would not knock them out of the tournament, a win now allows them to test their bench strength against Bangladesh. , who are already out in the final race, on Friday.
India’s win over Sri Lanka gave Pakistan a sigh of relief ahead of their big game against the Dasun Shanaka-led side on Thursday in Colombo.
If Sri Lanka beat India, Pakistan would need a huge win on Thursday to qualify for the final, as they have the worst net run rate among all the four teams in the Super 4.
