India vs Sri Lanka, Asia Cup 2022, Highlights: Sri Lanka defeated India by 6 wickets in the Super 4 match between the sides at the Dubai International Stadium on Tuesday. Bhanuka Rajapaksa (25 not out) and Dasun Shanaka (33 not out) stitched a 64-run partnership for the fifth wicket to take Sri Lanka through. Meanwhile, Kusal Mendis was the top run-scorer for Sri Lanka with 57 runs. Pathum Nissanka also helped the team's cause with his 52-run knock. For India, Yuzvendra Chahal was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3 for 34. Earlier, India had posted 173 for 8 on the board, thanks to Rohit Sharma's 72-run knock off 41 balls. Rohit Sharma's blazing fifty laid a solid platform for India but the side failed to make most of it as Sri Lanka chipped in with wickets at regular intervals after the departure of the Indian skipper. Dilshan Madushanka claimed three wickets, while Chamika Karunaratne and Dasun Shanaka claimed two wickets apiece. Sri Lanka captain Shanaka had won the toss and opted to bowl first in the game.

India vs Sri Lanka: What happened on the penultimate ball?
Arshdeep Singh had beaten Shanaka yet the Sri Lankan batters managed to take a couple as Pant failed to hit the stumps before Arshdeep, who received Pant's throw, tried to run out Shanaka at the other end but his throw also missed the stumps and the batters completed the second run as well.
This is poor bowling from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. He became too much predictable. Shanaka knew he is going to get a fuller ball on the off side and was ready for it. Bhuvi bowled a full toss and made the batter's work easy.
A 12-run over from Hardik Pandya and this match seems to be tilted in favour of Sri Lanka now. They need 21 more in 12 balls. Bhuvneshwar will bowl the 19th over. Here we go!
Ladies and gentlemen, here is another Asia Cup thriller for you. Sri Lanka need 33 in 18 balls. One might say that they have 6 wickets in hand and therefore they hold an edge, but India have made a good comeback in recent overs and that keeps alive them in the game.
Rajapaksa hits second six in his five-ball innings. He is not afraid of taking on the Indian spinners and is getting the rewards for his courage. Sri Lanka need 47 more in 28.
India vs Sri Lanka Score: WICKET! Mendis departs for 57
Kusal Mendis has been trapped in front of the stumps by Yuzvendra Chahal. The umpire raised his finger but the batter decided to go upstairs to waste a review.
Ashwin has dismissed Danushka Gunathilaka and look at Virat Kohli, he is roaring and running on the ground, he knows the value of this wicket. Gunathilaka hit the ball straight into the hands of the long-off fielder.
A beautiful upper-cut from Kusal Mendis for a four and with it, he races to his fifty. Mendis is Sri Lanka's key from here on and it will be really interesting to see how he shapes his innings from here.
This is superb batting from Sri Lanka. Their openers are targetting Arshdeep Singh and have been successful thus far. This time, Kusal Mendis hits a six over deep mid-wicket.
Another one bites the dust! Rishabh Pant departs for 17 runs and this is the second wicket for Madushanka in his ongoing last over. This is a brilliant comeback from Sri Lanka!
Deepak Hooda has been bowled by Dilshan Madushanka for three runs off 4 balls. Hooda went across the stumps to create some room for himself on the leg side, but Madushanka rattled the stumps to end his innings.
