India Vs SriLanka, 2nd match in Asia Cup

Dhaka: After a tough Australian tour and too much cricket during last couple of months Indian cricket team will face Sri Lanka on Tuesday in second match of Asia Cup 2012. The tournament is also a great chance for Little Master Sachin Tendulkar to score long awaiting 100th ton on batting friendly Asian pitches. Former Pakistan skipper Wasim Akram feels that MS Dhoni and Co would still start as favourites in the event. If Pakistan can play as a team, then they are unbeatable. But India remain the best team on paper. They have the depth in batting, the variety in bowling. “In their last game in the CB Series against the Lankans, India showed what they are capable of. When a team chases 320 runs and wins with seven wickets and 80 balls to spare against a quality opposition, it acts like elixir. Will this tonic boost India in Dhaka. Probably,” Akram was quoted as saying in ‘espnstar.com’. “Dhoni remains India’s best leader at the moment and sooner Sehwag realises this, the better. Hence, Sehwag needs to be at peace with him, focus purely on his fitness and the runs shall follow. In cricket, only performance matters and if Sehwag scores the runs he can, fans will automatically adore him,” he added.

(It’s on Tuesday and not on Monday as the portal claims) :smiley:

Re: India Vs SriLanka, 2nd match in Asia Cup

380+ seem a little low. :naraz: Even Pakistan almost scored that against South Africa in South Africa batting first. You should be aiming for 450+, man.

Re: India Vs SriLanka, 2nd match in Asia Cup

Should be a good match - unfortunately cant watch it. Who is this Dindi - apparently he plays for Calcutta or East zone and had a good domestic season. Hope both the Pathans and Tiwari make it into the playing XI.

Re: India Vs SriLanka, 2nd match in Asia Cup

That is actually way too much..I was surprised that the Asia cup was starting right after the common welath bank series!!! and now a Test too vs England!!!

Re: India Vs SriLanka, 2nd match in Asia Cup

Agar Sehwah team main hota tou Arlo nay iss kay 200 runs pakay likhnay thay :omg:

Re: India Vs SriLanka, 2nd match in Asia Cup

1.30 pm Mahela Jayawardene win the toss and Sri Lanka will have a bowl

Re: India Vs SriLanka, 2nd match in Asia Cup

India team
G Gambhir, SR Tendulkar, V Kohli, RG Sharma, SK Raina, MS Dhoni*†, RA Jadeja, IK Pathan, R Ashwin, P Kumar, R Vinay Kumar

Sri Lanka team

TM Dilshan, DPMD Jayawardene*, KC Sangakkara†, LD Chandimal, WU Tharanga, CK Kapugedera, HDRL Thirimanne, MF Maharoof, KMDN Kulasekara, RAS Lakmal, SMSM Senanayake

Ravindra Jadeja plays ahead of Yusuf Pathan but the bigger news is that there is no Lasith Malinga in the Sri Lanka XI. Suranga Lakmal is playing in place of Malinga. Manoj Tiwary cannot get a game still, though.
