New Delhi: Team India has suffered a second consecutive defeat in the Super-four stage of the Asia Cup 2022. Sri Lanka defeated Team India by six wickets in the match played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. India had set a target of 174 runs in front of Sri Lanka, which they achieved with one ball remaining.  

Batting first after losing the toss, India did not have a good start and they soon lost their two wickets. After this, Rohit took over India with a partnership of 97 runs for the third wicket with Suryakumar Yadav. Rohit Sharma scored 72 runs in 41 balls, which included five fours and four high-rise sixes. Suryakumar Yadav also scored 34 runs in 29 balls.

In reply, Pathum Nisanka (52 runs) and Kusal Mendis (57 runs) shared a 97-run partnership to give Sri Lanka a solid start. However, after that the Sri Lankan team lost wickets at regular intervals, taking their score to 110 for 4 wickets. In such a situation, it seemed that Team India would be able to win the match, but the brilliant batting of Dasun Shanaka and Rajapaksa snatched the match from India.
