Asia Cup 2022: India vs Sri Lanka – Dafanews Match Preview

India will lock horns against Sri Lanka at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday in their second match of the Super Four. The Men in Blue lost their previous match against Pakistan by five wickets and it will be a do-or-die affair for them.

We take a look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form of India: L W W W W

India had done a decent job with the bat but they would want their middle order to be more consistent. The bowlers have been doing a fine jobbut they will also need to pull their socks in the death overs. Virat Kohli scored a brilliant knock of 60 runs off just 44 balls against Pakistan and he is going to once again hold the key.

Current form for Sri Lanka: W W L W L

Sri Lanka’s batting had led the team down in their opening clash against Afghanistan in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022. However, the team has successfully chased down two big totals in the last two matches and they will look to be at their best against a potent Indian team.

Head to Head: Matches: 25, Won by India: 17, Won by Sri Lanka: 7, NR: 1.

India clearly holds the advantage against Sri Lanka in the head-to-head battle.

Players to look out for: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumara, and Yuzvendra Chahal will hold the key for India.

Kusal Mendis, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dasun Shanaka, Danushka Gunathilaka, Maheesh Theekshana, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Charith Asalanka and Chamika Karunaratne will be the crucial players for Sri Lanka.
