Coming back to on-field developments, Team India clinched a resounding 41-run victory against hosts Sri Lanka to kick off their Super Four campaign in the Asia Cup on a promising note. Sri Lanka’s spin duo of Dunith Wellalage and Charith Asalanka shared nine wickets between them to bowl out India for a paltry total of 213. Wellalage registered a sensational five-wicket haul in the game. Skipper Rohit Sharma emerged as his side’s highest scorer with a fine knock of 53 off 48 balls.

The target, however, appeared to be quite challenging as Sri Lanka folded for 172. Kuldeep Yadav emerged as India’s best bowler. He picked four wickets.

Having excelled with the ball earlier in the game, Wellalage came up with a valiant show with the bat as well. The 20-year-old produced an unbeaten knock of 42 off 46 balls. But his innings proved to be futile as Sri Lanka fell short of the total by 41 runs.
