The highly anticipated match between two of the most successful teams to take part in the Asia Cup tournament saw the Indian team sculpt a memorable 202/5 at the end of 20 overs.

From Sri Lanka’s end, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushyant Chameera and Charith Asalanka bowled some respectable overs, where they got their teams some early and important wickets of some of India’s biggest hitters.
