Dunith Wellalage took three wickets in consecutive overs, dismissing Gill after 19 off 25, Rohit after 48 off, and Kohli after 12 off. Following that, KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan combined for 63 runs.
Kuldeep Yadav bowled a fantastic stint, while Ravindra Jadeja was equally adept with the ball. In the meantime, Rohit Sharma reached 10,000 runs in ODIs and made three half-centuries in a row at this Asia Cup. India defeated Sri Lanka by a score of 41 runs and advanced to the Asia Cup final thanks to these remarkable efforts.
Rohit Sharma, the captain, said about how the game went after winning the toss and deciding to bat first. The opening pair of captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill got things going quickly, scoring 65 runs in the first ten overs. 80 runs were added by them both during their initial cooperation.
Again, Wellalage ended the partnership, as Rahul was declared out after scoring 39 off of 44. From the other end, Asalanka got four wickets in quick succession, with Jadeja being out shortly after scoring only four runs and Ishan leaving on 33 off 61. Axar eventually contributed 26 runs in 36 balls and several well-placed strokes to India’s 213/10 total defence in 49.1 overs.
In response, Bumrah and Siraj removed the top order from the home team. Bumrah first got rid of Nissanka for 6 runs before getting Kusal Mendis out for 15 runs. Karunaratne, who had just made two runs, was the target of Siraj’s second wicket in the subsequent over. Aslanka and Dhananjaya De Silva had a brief appearance, scoring 22 and 41 runs, respectively.
With 42 runs, Wellalage continued his unblemished streak but was unable to assist the home team in winning. The spinners entered the fray at that point, with Kuldeep claiming a 4-wicket haul and Jadeja claiming 2 wickets. Due to his all-around effort, Dunith Wellalage won Player of the Match.
