India will take on Sri Lanka in the seventh game of the Asia Cup 2016 at Dhaka on Tuesday. India have had a great run in recent times and have won both games of the tournament. Sri Lanka have a task in hands with Lasith Malinga having been ruled out for this match.
Both the teams recently played a three-match series against India which the latter won by 2-1. India will be high on confidence as they have a balanced side who have clicked so far. Their batting needs to step up as their bowling have been sensational. Live Streaming: Asia Cup T20 2016, India vs Sri Lanka at Mirpur
The likes of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Hardik Pandya and Suresh Raina inspire confidence with the bat. Ashish Nehra, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin have led the bowling attack well. If India win this, they will be the first side to reserve a berth in the tournament final.
For Sri Lanka, they need to step up and give their best as this is a do or die match for them. Another loss will put them in all sorts of trouble. Their batsmen need to put some decent total on the board and give their batsmen a fighting chance.
Expect an interesting encounter here at Dhaka as both the teams are equally balanced. As the game goes on, several tweets will flow on Twitter, we present you with the pick of the tweets.
Guys solutions are from within, not from without. Our team is resilient and they will come back. May take a bit longer but I have no doubt
