India are set to face Sri Lanka in their second match of the Super Four round of the Asia Cup 2023. The Men in Blue will be playing their third match in a row after a massive 228-run victory against Pakistan on Sunday and Monday. The Indian team is hoping for another strong performance from their batsmen, who have been in great form recently. However, Sri Lanka, who are on a 13-match winning streak in ODIs, will not be an easy opponent. In their last match against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka’s No 4 batter Sadeera Samarawickrama scored a brilliant 93 runs, giving the team a boost. This match promises to be an exciting clash, and India may rotate some players due to their recent heavy workload. Stay tuned for live score updates of the India vs Sri Lanka match. (All times IST)
