Half the team injured, the ‘kids’ leave the elders, triple threat to India

New Delhi. In their last match of the Super-4 round before the Asia Cup, Team India suffered a 6-run defeat at the hands of Bangladesh. Rohit Sharma made 5 changes in the team for this match which proved costly. Now India will face Sri Lanka in the final on Sunday. Sri Lanka entered the Asia Cup without many of its star players. Despite this, Sri Lanka got the ticket to the final. In such a situation, the way for India to win the title is not easy.

Sri Lanka’s star leg-spinner Wanindu Hasranga, fast bowler Lahiru Kumara, Dushmancha Chamira and Lahiru Madhushanka are out of the Asia Cup due to injuries. Kushal Mendis was also sick before the Asia Cup. He had Corona. In such a situation, Sri Lanka fielded several young players in the squad for the Asia Cup and everyone left no stone unturned to capitalize on the opportunity.

Sri Lanka entered without star players

20-year-old Dunith Village is a case in point. Had Hasaranga been fit, he might not have got the chance to play in the Asia Cup. In the absence of Hasaranga, the young player showed his strength with both ball and bat and took 5 wickets with 2 catches in the match against India and later scored 42 runs off 46 balls. Wellalagh could have given Sri Lanka a win had it not been for the wickets at the other end. In such a situation, it will be difficult for Team India to go to the finals of the Asia Cup.

The final of the Asia Cup is scheduled to be played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo and Vellage will be playing in the final and Vellage will be a big threat for the team considering the recent performances of the Indian batsmen against the left arm spin bowlers. India in the final. Hee.

Kushal Mendis could be another big threat for India in the Asia Cup final. He is the second highest run-scorer in the Asia Cup after Shubman Gill (275). Mendis has scored 253 runs at an average of 50 in 5 matches. He has scored 3 fifties with his bat. His strike rate is also close to 90. Similarly, Sadira Samarawickrama has also taken full advantage of the opportunity and has scored 215 runs in 5 matches. He has scored 2 half centuries. Mendis played an innings of 91 runs against Pakistan to win Sri Lanka.

Different match winners in each match
Different players have emerged as match winners for Sri Lanka in each match in the Asia Cup. Mendis and Charith Aslanka impressed against Pakistan and Velalagh shone against India. Sadira Samarawickrama played an important role in the victory against Bangladesh. That is, in each match, different players worked for the team to win. This is Sri Lanka’s greatest strength.

A distance of 13 thousand km…but 20 days before the World Cup, Australia-New Zealand got a shock, the game might not happen

Shanaka’s captaincy was amazing
Apart from this, the role of Dasun Shanaka cannot be overlooked. His performance as captain in the last few months has been outstanding. It was under his captaincy that Sri Lanka won the Asia Cup last time by defeating Pakistan. After this the team also won the World Cup Qualifier. Sri Lanka may not have stars but they have players who are hungry to perform better on the big stage and are not afraid of the big bowlers or batsmen of world cricket. It is for this reason that Sri Lanka played tremendous cricket even against strong teams like India and Pakistan.
