IND Vs SL Highlights: India Defeat Sri Lanka By 41 Runs, Seal Berth In Asia Cup 2023 Final

The India vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 clash went down to the wire though the scoreboard might not suggest so. The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team ultimately won by 41 runs after setting a 214-run target for the Asia Cup 2023 co-hosts. Indian bowlers, however, stepped up when it mattered the most with Kuldeep Yadav taking a four-wicket haul. Sri Lanka were boosted by some gritty innings from Dhananjaya de Silva, Dunith Wellalage among others but India held their nerves to coast to victory.
