India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI Live Updates

India vs Sri Lanka 3rd ODI Live Updates: Sri Lanka skipper Charith Asalanka won the toss and opted to bat against India in the third ODI of the three-match series on Wednesday in Colombo. Rohit Sharma and co are on the verge of a historic defeat as it will be their first loss against Sri Lanka in an ODI series after 27 years. It’s certainly not the start Gautam Gambhir, a stickler for victories, would want in his first ODI assignment as the team’s head coach. The onus will be on Indian batters, particularly the talismanic Virat Kohli, to follow the path laid down by skipper Rohit Sharma and tactfully counter the spin challenge. India’s previous bilateral ODI series defeat against the Islanders came in 1997. (Live Scorecard)

India vs Sri Lanka, Asia Cup 2023 Final: W,0,W,W,4,W – Mohammed Siraj Leaves Everyone Stunned With Near-Perfect Over. Watch

admin — Sun, 17 Sep 2023 13:18:56 +0000

Mohammed Siraj produced a bowling spell to remember as he took six wickets including four wickets in a single over during the Asia Cup 2023 final between India and Sri Lanka on Sunday. The fourth over of the match saw Siraj concede just four runs and take four wickets but he narrowly missed out on a hat-trick. He started with the wicket of Pathum Nissanka who played a loose shot and Ravindra Jadeja pulled off a brilliant catch at backward point. Sadeera Samarawickrama played out the next ball but the third ball of the over proved to be his end as he was trapped LBW by a lethal in-swinging delivery.

Charith Asalanka was the new batter at the crease but he could only manage to play the ball straight to Ishan Kishan for a catch at covers. Dhananjaya De Silva was able to hit Siraj for a boundary on the hat-trick ball but the fast bowler was in too good a form to be denied more wickets. The next delivery was a wide outswinger and the batter ended up giving an easy catch to KL Rahul behind the stumps.

Siraj produced a magical spell, 6 for 21, to decimate Sri Lanka for 50, and place India on the brink of a victory in the Asia Cup final.

Sri Lanka elected to bat first after winning the toss, despite heavily overcast conditions, and the match started 40 minutes after the scheduled 3 PM beginning.

But a storm of a different kind was awaiting Sri Lanka – a peak Siraj. His spell ensured that Lanka batted just 15.2 overs, and this was also their lowest ODI total against India.

The pacer became only the fourth bowler in ODI history to take four wickets in an over, and he matched former Lankan pacer Chaminda Vaas as the fastest to a five-wicket haul in one-dayers.

However, the beauty of Siraj bowling was beyond mere numbers. He got into action after Jasprit Bumrah jettisoned Kusal Perera in the third ball of the first over – a regulation caught behind.

In conditions that resembled more London than Colombo, Siraj just had to pitch the ball in the right areas.

Siraj made his dance of destruction in the 4th over – 3.1, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.6 balls. The victims were Pathum Nissanka, Sadeera Samaraiwickrama, Charith Asalanka and Dhananjaya De Silva.

Nissanka tried to place the ball around Ravindra Jadeja at point, but the placement went awry as the fielder completed a fine tumbling catch.

Samarawickrma could not deal with a delivery that came in that little bit after pitching on a length, and the umpire did not have to think even for a moment to uphold Siraj’s appeal for leg-before.

In the very next ball, the left-handed Asalanka pushed at a fuller delivery from Siraj with zero footwork, and the uppish shot ended in the hands of Ishan Kishan at covers.

De Silva managed to avert the hat-trick, but he lasted only for another ball, a push away from body resulted in an easy collection of Rahul behind the stumps.

But Siraj was not done yet. He castled Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka and Kusal Mendis with peaches to complete their destruction.

Once Siraj finished his spell, there was nothing left in the Lankan innings. Hardik Pandya applied the finishing touches, taking three wickets.

admin — Sat, 16 Sep 2023 08:51:01 +0000

Team India will be squaring off against Sri Lanka in the much-awaited final of the ongoing Asia Cup on Sunday in Colombo. In Super 4 stage of the tournament, Team India thrashed Pakistan by 228 runs, followed by a 41-run victory over Sri Lanka in the next match. However, the Rohit Sharma-led side fell short by six runs in their last Super 4 match against Bangladesh. On the other hand, Sri Lanka registered a thumping two-wicket win over Pakistan in a last-ball thriller and sealed their Asia Cup 2023 final berth. It will be interesting to see that which team will now clinch the prestigious title.

Here are the top five best performers of Asia Cup 2023 from both the teams:

India

Rohit Sharma:The India skipper has been in a tremendous form in the ongoing continental event. In five matches, Rohit has smashed 194 runs at an average of 48.50. He also registered three half-centuries to his name. He will now look to deliver a strong performance in the summit clash against Sri Lanka.

Shubman Gill:The young talented opener roared back to form after his recent struggles. Gill has amassed 275 runs in five matches and is currently the highest run-scorer in the tournament. Apart from this, he also smashed two half-centuries and a century, which came against Bangladesh on Friday.

Virat Kohli:The star India batter left everyone stunned with his unbeaten knock of 122 off 94 balls against Pakistan. Virat looked in great touch and will aim for a similar performance in the final match.

Ravindra Jadeja:The all-rounder has scalped six wickets in five matches. He is one of the best fielders, who can also contribute with the bat. Jadeja’s presence strengthens Team India’s batting line-up.

Kuldeep Yadav:Kuldeep Yadav has been one of the most impressive bowlers in the tournament. The 28-year-old wrist spinner has played four matches and scalped nine wickets. He has registered a five-wicket haul against Pakistan, followed by a four-wicket haul Sri Lanka. He will now aim to repeat his heroics in the summit clash.

Sri Lanka

Kusal Mendis:The Sri Lanka wicketkeeper-batter played a crucial role in team’s thrilling victory over Pakistan, where he played a magnificent knock of 91 runs. He is also the second highest scorer of the tournament, with a total of 253 runs in five matches to his name. His batting average is 50.60, which makes him one of the biggest strengths of Sri Lanka.

Sadeera Samarawickrama:The 28-year-old batter has impressed everyone with his powerful performances. His 93-run knock against Bangladesh can be termed as one of the finest knocks of the tournament. Samarawickrama also smashed 48 off 51 balls and stitched an important partnership with Mendis against Pakistan.

Charith Asalanka:The all-rounder turned out to be star for Sri Lanka after he played a brilliant unbeaten knock of 49 runs against Pakistan and took his side across the line on the last ball. Asalanka has also taken four wickets in five matches and will now aim to deliver a strong performance in the final.

Matheesha Pathirana:The 20-year-old pacer has been the most impressive players of the tournament. With 11 scalps in five matches, Pathirana is currently the highest wicket-taker.

Dunith Wellalge:The young orthodox spinner was the most unexpected player, who left everyone stunned with his heroic spells. Wellalage rose to fame with his five-wicket haul against India. He then went on to take one more wicket against Pakistan and that too of their skipper Babar Azam.

Sri Lanka Batter Pramod Madhushan’s ‘Smart Sacrifice’ vs Pakistan Bowls Over R Ashwin, Venkatesh Prasad

admin — Sat, 16 Sep 2023 05:22:45 +0000

Charith Asalanka was the star for Sri Lanka as he slammed six runs in the final two balls of the match to guide his side to the Asia Cup 2023 final after a win over Pakistan. Asalanka was unbeaten on 49 off 47 deliveries and he was able to finish the game well after Kusal Mendis provided them with a brilliant start to the run chase. However, the one cricketer who has earned a lot of praise besides these two was Pramod Madushan who sacrificed his wicket to get Asalanka back on strike on the fourth ball of the final over.

Madushan missed a ball from Zaman Khan and although Asalanka made a run for it from the non-striker’s end, he stayed inside the crease to make sure that they cannot be dismissed if the wicket-keeper comes up with a direct hit. Rizwan went for the direct hit but was unable to hit the stumps.

Once Asalanka crossed over, he started running and although Zaman was able to complete the run-out on the other end, Asalanka was back on strike and that proved to be the game-changer.

Former India pacer Venkatesh Prasad was all praise for Madushan.

Great game awareness from Pramod Madushan yesterday night. Did not leave the crease until Asalanka made it. Very impressive. @ashwinravi99 probably one of the finest at making good use of the rules would be v impressed . pic.twitter.com/5XxCbyVZXg

Great game awareness from Pramod Madushan yesterday night. Did not leave the crease until Asalanka made it. Very impressive. @ashwinravi99 probably one of the finest at making good use of the rules would be v impressed,” Prasad posted on the X (formerly known as Twitter).

Veteran India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin replied to his post with an interesting analogy.

Absolutely! Just
He missed the ball, Asalanka was charging down the pitch ( high octane pressure ) and yet this guy stood his ground until the keeper missed his attempt and then started running.

All I can say is that these sort of reactions come from practice and this happens… https://t.co/elfwihpBSG

“Absolutely! Just He missed the ball, Asalanka was charging down the pitch ( high octane pressure ) and yet this guy stood his ground until the keeper missed his attempt and then started running. All I can say is that these sort of reactions come from practice and this happens mostly in Tennis ball cricket,” he replied.

It was a case of so close yet so far for the Pakistan cricket team as they failed to reach the Asia Cup 2023 after a last-ball defeat against Sri Lanka in their Super 4 clash on Thursday. With 8 runs needed to win from the final over of the rain-affected game, Pakistan pacer Zaman Khan was able to keep the Sri Lanka batters in check as he conceded just two runs in four balls. But, Charith Asalanka proved to be ultimate hero for Sri Lanka as he scored six runs in the last two balls to clinch the win. The Pakistan side was left stunned as skipper Babar was visibly upset at how the game ended for his team.

Kusal Mendis‘ 91 and an unbeaten 49 by Charith Asalanka helped Sri Lanka edge out Pakistan by two wickets in a last-ball thriller of the Asia Cup to set up a final clash with India.

Chasing a DLS revised target of 252 in the 42-overs-a-side contest in Colombo, Sri Lanka needed eight from the final over and achieved the target with Asalanka’s winning hit on the last ball at 1.07 am local time.

A raucous home crowd rejoiced but the result broke the heart of millions of fans awaiting an India-Pakistan final in the 50-over tournament, a prelude to the upcoming ODI World Cup.

The left-handed Asalanka held his nerve despite Shaheen Shah Afridi’s two wickets in two balls in the penultimate over and the first four balls from Zaman Khan giving away just two runs and a wicket in the 42nd over.

Mendis set up victory with a 100-run third-wicket stand with Sadeera Samarawickrama, who made 48, but Asalanka took it on himself after their departure.

“Kusal and Sadeera played brilliant knocks. I think they are the best players of spin in the Sri Lanka squad,” said skipper Dasun Shanaka.

“And Charith, showed great character. Special feeling, back to back finals. I must thank the crowds who kept supporting us, and looking forward to the finals.”

Asia Cup 2023: 6 Needed From 2, Sri Lanka Pull Of A Thriller Against Pakistan. Watch

admin — Fri, 15 Sep 2023 03:30:48 +0000

One of the finest cricketing contests of the Asia Cup 2023 unfolded on Thrusday day as Sri Lanka edged Pakistan in a last-ball thriller to enter the final of the tournament. It was Sri Lanka’s Kusal Mendis produced an outstanding 91 while Charith Asalanka gave him good company with a gutsy unbeaten 49 to set up the final against India. Pakistan looked to have done well to pull themsleves in the winning position after Shaheen Afridi’s spectacular penultimate over. but, Sri Lanka reached the target of 252 runs, scoring 6 runs from the last 2 balls.

Half-centuries from Abdullah Shafique (52) and Mohammad Rizwan (86 not out) had led Pakistan to a competitive 252 for 7 off 42 overs after electing to bat on another rain-affected day.

But Sri Lanka replied in kind through Mendis and Asalanka as they inched past the target off the last ball of the match, also spoiling the possibility of an Indo-Pak summit clash.

After Kusal Perera departed early, Mendis in the company of Pathum Nissanka (29) steadied the Lankan innings with a 57-run stand for the second wicket.

But an even better passage was in the waiting for the Lankans, despite Nissanka spooning a return catch to Shadab Khan.

Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama (48 off 51 balls) added 100 runs for the third wicket, as Lanka gradually bridged the gap.

Mendis is blessed with natural striking prowess and timing, and his knock was a validation of that. The right-hander used his feet well against spinners, and faced the quicker lot with assurance.

Samarawickrama, even though he was pinged on the helmet once by Shaheen Afridi, kept his end going with some sensible cricket.

But a momentary rush ended his stay. Iftikhar caught him in no-man’s land with a slightly fuller length ball, and Rizwan made an easy stumping.

Mendis milked a further 33 runs along with Asalanka, but Iftikhar returned to dismiss him.

Mendis’ effort to turn the ball off his pads resulted in a leading edge, which was caught superbly by a diving Mohamamd Harris.

Thereafter Sri Lanka fell into panic mode, losing four wickets in as many overs and it seemed that they were on the verge of botching up the chase.

Afridi did the damage during that phase with two wickets in successive balls. But Asalanka held his nerves in the final over to carry his side home. Here’s the video:
