India Vs Sri Lanka, Asia Cup Super Four: Dubai Pitch Report
Dubai pitch conditions generally favor batsmen, but early assistance will be available for seam bowlers through swing and seam movement. Spinners will get more turn in the middle overs if they bowl in the right areas. Dew is expected to play a factor in the second innings, which could make it harder for spinners to grip the ball but easier for batters looking to accelerate. Batters should start cautiously and build up as this pitch traditionally allows teams batting second to score 100-110 runs in the final 10 overs.
The Men in Blue have dominated this stage of the tournament, remaining unbeaten with Suryakumar Yadav’s leadership supported by a consistent batting lineup and sharp bowling. Sri Lanka will be keen to end their campaign on a positive note led by Charith Asalanka, knowing India might rest key players like Jasprit Bumrah before the final. India’s fielding will also be in focus after ten dropped catches in five matches.
The India Vs Sri Lanka match will be live streamed on Sony Liv.
