India vs Sri Lanka Cricket Direct Score: Sri Lanka aims for 174 goals against India© AFP
India and Sri Lanka, AFC Asian Cup 2022, Live Updates: Bhanukkah Rajapaksa and Dason Chanaka kept Sri Lanka in pursuit after Yosvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin brought India back into the match. While Chahal has claimed three wickets so far, Ashwin has taken one. This happened after the inaugural partnership between Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka kept India at bay for a long time. India scored 173 to 8 on the board, thanks to Rohit Sharma’s 72 hit 41 balls. The fifties of the flamboyant Rohit Sharma set a solid platform for India but the side failed to achieve most of it as Sri Lanka rushed the spurs at regular intervals after the departure of the Indian captain. Rohit Sharma first raced to his number 28 in the T20I in just 32 balls, then ran crazily to tear Sri Lankan bowlers apart before the latter bounced back in unison. Dilshan Madushanka claimed three wickets, while Chamika Karunaratne and Dasun Shanaka claimed two wickets each. Sri Lanka captain Chanaka won the lottery and chose to play initially in the ongoing Super 4 match of the Asian Cup. (live scorecard)
