[Saba Sports News] In the ongoing Asia Cup 2023 Super Four stage, India secured a convincing 41-run victory over Sri Lanka, securing their spot in the finals. India batted first, with skipper Rohit Sharma hitting his third consecutive half-century, but a middle-order collapse limited them to 213 runs.
Sri Lanka’s middle-order showed composure, and Dunith Wellalage, who took a five-wicket haul earlier, played a crucial role with the bat. However, India’s Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja bowled brilliantly to seal the win.
Some Pakistan supporters on Twitter accused the Indian team of fixing the match to eliminate Pakistan from the competition when Sri Lanka appeared to have a chance. Former cricketer Shoaib Akhtar criticized these claims, stating that India was giving their best to win and commended Wellalage’s Player of the Match performance.
Pakistan will face Sri Lanka on September 14 in Colombo, and the winner of that match will advance to the final alongside India.
