India vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup 2016: Here is an article from India365 with pre-highlights of 7th match in Asia cup between India vs Sri Lanka at Dhaka. India vs UAE match will be a simple match for India but the match against srilanka is not expected to be an icing on cake.
Absolutely, the Sri Lankan team is missing their senior players like Sangakara, Jayawardene as the current team is filled with experienced players who were out of form and new players with lack of experience in Internationals. The team has lost their last T20 match with host country Bangladesh with 24 runs. The senior players like Dilshan, Mathews, Perera who has good exposure at T20 are out of form which is good for team INDIA to enter semi-finals.
The bowling attack of Sri Lanka looks good when compared to their batting performance but it lacks experience.The team misses yorker specialist and who appointed as a captain for WT20, Lasith Malinga. With this bowling attack, they cannot restrict team India as their top order looks quite consistent.
India vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup 2016
As these many years, not only in the Asia cup for team India has problem with their bowling attack and not able to grab wickets at depth overs. With the joining of two young players Bumrah and Hardik, they have added strength to their bowling attack. However, the middle order batsman were not upto the mark and not attacking the bowl at depth overs where the team needs a good amount of runs to put in front of the opposition. Yuvi doesn’t look upto the mark but slowly he is showing some progress and achieving strength to face the opposition. We hope, he will be back in form for WT20 once again to entertain us.
The Sri lankan bowling attack has very young strength and looking confident to attack the Indian opening order. However, India should not overlook at the inexperienced Lankan bowling attack and they should remind the game happened in Pune on feb 9th,2016 where they lost to Lanka.
The Asia Cup 2016
The watch out players from Lankan team are Siriwardana who is in good touch with bat and bowl.
India’s opening batsmen who is in good touch with bat, Shikhar Dhawan was out of the game with Pakistan and Dhoni has given chance to Ajinkya Rahane who failed out to prove himself.
Virat Kohli is looking very confident and thrashing the bowlers with his bat. He is one of the watchable player for India along with Bumrah and Hardik. The Indian team still should look out for the middle order batsman’s performance including the cool captain Dhoni before they enter into the WT20.
The current Indian team has already played with Srilanka in their last series in India so the team is looking confident to play.However, the best team in 3 hours will win the game.
Overall, the spectators might expect the good entertainment and tough match between two teams.
