After losing against Pakistan in their very first game of the super 4 round of Asia Cup 2022, the Indian cricket team will be in a must-win situation as they face Sri Lanka in their second super 4 games on Tuesday. If India loses another game in the super 4, their chances of qualifying for the final of the tournament will be very, very slim.
India might feel losing the toss in the game against Pakistan was a big factor in last night’s loss, but they will have to reflect on their bowling performance as well because two of their most experienced bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yuzvendra Chahal proved to be very expensive.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, is flying high on confidence after beating Bangladesh and Afghanistan in back-to-back games and they would almost seal their spot in the final of Asia Cup 2022 if they manage to beat India tomorrow.
Pitch report for India Vs Sri Lanka in Asia Cup 2022 super 4 round
It’s now clear to all the captains in the tournament that the pitch in Dubai gets far more favorable for batting in the second innings and bowling first after winning the toss is an easy decision, but most of the matches have been very close. So, the teams bowling second have also had opportunities to win games. It’s just that they have not seized the key moments. While toss might be a big factor in this game tomorrow again, it won’t be the be-all-and-end-all.
