India vs Sri Lanka Highlights, Asia Cup 2022: SL hold nerves to beat IND by six wickets in Super 4 thriller in Dubai

"Since the last World Cup, we haven't lost too many games. These games will teach us. We wanted to put ourselves under pressure in the Asia Cup. We are still looking for answers," says Rohit on how the Asia Cup acts as a precursor to World T20 in Australia.

The India skipper also reserves special praise for young Arshdeep. "Have to give a lot to Arshdeep for bowling at the death and for the way he bowled. Chahal and Bhuvi are the senior pros and have been doing it for a while. I need to get answers from the younger ones."

"We just ended up on the wrong side, as simple as that. We could have capitalized on the first half of our innings. We fell 10-15 runs short. The second half wasn't good for us. The guys who were out in the middle can learn about what shots can be played. These things can happen. Losses like these will make us understand what works as a team," says Rohit.

"Very happy. Me and Pathum batted very well. Best partnership for us in this tournament. Did a lot of practice in SL in the last six months. Coaches told me to play normal game. Me and Pathum not powerhitters - we try to hit the gaps. That's the good option for us. We have powerhitters in the middle order," says Kusal Mendis.

If Pakistan win tomorrow against Afghanistan, India are officially out of the tournament. Sri Lanka claim the top spot in points table with four points from two games. Pakistan occupy the second position.

Arshdeep bowled an excellent last over and Shanaka failed to connect the fifth delivery, with SL needing 2 in 2 balls. Pant had all three stumps to aim at but he missed, which followed Arshdeep also missing his throw at the non-stiker's end. Take a deep breath!!!

Nissanka and Mendis hit impressive fifties before Chahal's triple added a twist in the tale. But Rajapaksa and Shanaka held nerves towards the end to guide SL to their second Super 4 win. The two put on a 50-run partnership to take their team past finish line. What a game of cricket!!!

19.4: 3 runs need off 3 balls... and Arshdeep bowls a good delivery to cramp Rajapaksa. He takes a single to give the strike to Shanaka.

19.5: Unreal scenes!!! Shanaka misses but Sri Lanka get two byes. Sri Lanka win by six wickets with one ball to spare.

18.3: Bhuvneshwar is under pressure! He bowls a couple of wides before bowling it slightly closer to Shanaka, who drills it past covers. Also, 50 partnership comes up in 29 balls.

18.4: Shanaka gets a thick outside edge on the next ball and with third man in the circle, it's a definite four. What an over!!! 14 off it as Sri Lanka need 7 runs off last six balls.

Shanaka uses Pandya's pace to guide it over fine leg boundary. 145kph delivery from Pandya but it's going down the leg side, and Shanaka helps it away for a maximum.

Sri Lanka need 21 runs in 12 balls

Excellent yorker from Arshdeep to finish things off! A half-hearted LBW appeal and Rohit doesn't go upstairs. Seemed like it was going down the leg.

Hardik Pandya is back into the attack. Sri Lanka need 33 runs in 18 balls

SL 141-4

Sliced away!!! Arshdeep bowls it wide outside the off-stump and Shanaka frees his arms to hit it to wide third man.

SL 137-4

12 runs off Ashwin's over which had Rajapaksa whacking one over long-on. He isn't afraid to take risks at this stage of the game. Four more overs to go.

SL 132-4

Rajapaksa shows some courage and gets the reward. He charges down against Chahal and hits it over cow corner for 82m six. A much-needed boundary.

SL 120-4

India on a roll at the moment!!! Chahal traps Mendis. He has gone for a review. UltraEdge shows there's no bat involved and ball tracking confirms the exit. Mendis falls for 57(37) and Sri Lanka are 110/4 after 14.1 overs.

Flighted off-break from Ashwin and Gunathilaka hits it straight to Rahul! It was bowled slow as well. Did Chahal trigger a batting collapse with his double-strike? We will find out shortly.

SL 110-3

Mendis is playing with the field as he keeps finding gaps with ease. He gets wide across and hits it to the right of short fine leg. FOUR!

SL 109-2

Kusal Mendis his fifty in 33 balls with a cheeky four! He ramps Bhuvneshwar's delivery over short third man for a boundary.

105-2

Chahal strikes again!!! Asalanka is caught by Suryakumar. Indian players on cloud nine. Tossed-up delivery from Chahal and Asalanka goes for a slogsweep. He top-edges it to backward square field Suryakumar.

SL 97-2

Chahal strikes!!! Finally, a wicket for India as Nissanka walks back after scoring an excellent 52 off 37 deliveries. He tries to execute a premeditated reverse hit but finds Rohit Sharma at backward point.

SL 97-1

More pressure on India! Mendis top-edges Pandya's delivery but it sails over the keeper's head. Both third man and fine leg fielders are in the circle. FOUR!

SL 93-0

Fifty comes up for Nissanka, who reaches the milestone with a single to long on. Sri Lanka are 89/0 after the first 10 overs, which means India will have to reassess their plan during the drinks break.

SL 89-0

Dispatched!!! Flighted delivery from Chahal and Nissanka hits it over deep mid-wicket. A flat six that's hit hard enough to sail over the ropes.

SL 85-0

11 runs off Ashwin's over, which included a magnificent Mendis six. Sri Lanka are in complete control at the moment.

SL 74-0

Unbelievable! Ashwin into the attack and Mendis has hit probably the shot of the innings so far!!! Flighted delivery outside the off-stump and Mendis produces an inside-out six over covers.

Six singles off Hardik's over. Some respite for bowlers, who have been hit for regular boundaries in the first six overs. Sri Lanka go past 60 in the seventh over and the required rate is below 9.

SL 63-0
