New Delhi. The final match of the Asia Cup will be played between India and Sri Lanka today on September 17 in Colombo. Who will win the match? It will be interesting to see. The World Cup 2023 will start 18 days after the Asia Cup. Many teams from around the world are participating in it. Even before the finals of the Asia Cup and the World Cup, Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka has declared India as the favorite in the World Cup 2023. He has said that many teams will participate in it. But things will be easy for India in the World Cup.
While talking about the World Cup at a media event, Dasun Shanaka said, “Look, all teams have a golden opportunity. I don’t think anyone has any particular advantage or disadvantage. Once you go to India, you will find good batting pitches. But India will have a better chance. Because they know the pitch there. We also understand the situation there. Their players are also very good.”

Shanaka further said that we have a good batting line up. There are also some quality spinners. India’s pitch will be a bit challenging. Bowling will also be difficult to give up. There is very little margin for error. But we need to do well there. Let us tell you that the World Cup will start from October 5. The teams of India and Sri Lanka will face each other on November 2 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Sri Lanka are yet to announce their squad for the World Cup.
