India vs Sri Lanka
Asia Cup T20 Match Prediction & Tips
Time: 06 Sep, 07:30 PM (IST)
Series: Asia Cup Super Four, Match 3
Venue: Dubai Intl. Cricket Stadium, Dubai
Info:
Virat Kohli hit 60 from 44 balls against Pakistan and is the second highest run scorer in the tournament so far. He is well worth backing as India’s highest run scorer against Sri Lanka. With the ball, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has six wickets in the competition and he is our pick for India’s top wicket taker on Tuesday
Opener Kusal Mendis top scored for Sri Lanka in the win over Afghanistan and he is our tip for their highest run scorer against India. Wanindu Hasaranga is Sri Lanka’s top bowler and the spinner is a strong choice for their top wicket taker in this game.
We recommend backing form batter Virat Kohli to hit over 25.5 runs in this game.

Team Updates
India (IND)

Despite putting a huge total on board, they were unable to defend the target.
Rohit Sharma and Lokesh Rahul will probably open the inning.
Virat Kohli will bat at the one-down position.
Suryakumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant will handle the middle-order batting.
Rohit Sharma will lead the India as a Captain. He is also a good Batsman
Rishabh Pant will do the Wicket Keeping for India.
Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravi Bishnoi will take care of the spin bowling of his team.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Arshdeep Singh will lead the pace attack of his team.
Sri Lanka (SL)
Sri Lanka have made a brilliant come back as they won both of their last games.
They defeated Afghanistan in a close encounter and registered their place in Super 4.
Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka will probably open the inning.
Charith Asalanka will bat at the one-down position.
Danushka Gunathilaka and Bhanuka Rajapaksa will handle the middle-order batting.
Dasun Shanaka will lead the Sri Lanka as a Captain. He is also a good Alrounder.

Winning Chances:
Whenever India and Pakistan meet in any format, you know there will be a huge amount of pressure on both sides and a great atmosphere in the ground. India got over the line last time, but the result could have been different, if for example, Naseem Shah had not been struck with cramp in his final overs. Pakistan continue to miss Shaheen Shah Afridi who got the wickets of both Indian openers at this ground in the T20 World Cup but will be injured for the entirety of this Asia Cup. We are expecting a close game and are predicting India to win.
