Right then, Sri Lanka now face the challenge of chasing down 214 runs within their allotted 50 overs. With the wicket offering substantial turn, India has fielded three frontline spinners who are in excellent form. The stage is set for an intriguing second innings. Will Sri Lanka comfortably chase down the target, or will the Indian spinners weave their magic to secure a memorable victory and halt Sri Lanka's winning streak in ODIs? The answer lies in the unfolding drama of the second innings.

Sri Lanka's man of the moment, Dunith Wellalage is in for a chat. He starts by thanking his teammates and coaches, especially the spin bowling coach. Mentions that he looked to bowl variations and tried not to give runs. Adds that Virat Kohli was his dream wicket. Reckons that wicket is uneven and it won't be easy. Hopes that the batters can give a good fight with the bat.

The Indian innings began with fireworks as skipper Rohit Sharma blazed his way to a quickfire 53 off 48 balls, laced with 7 boundaries and 2 sixes. At one point, India looked comfortable at 80 without loss after 11 overs. However, the tide turned dramatically with the emergence of 20-year-old left-arm spinner Dunith Wellalage, who orchestrated a stunning collapse by claiming a five-wicket haul, conceding only 40 runs in his 10 overs. While Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul tried to rebuild the innings, they too fell after crossing the 30-run mark. Charith Asalanka, a part-time off-spinner, chimed in with 4 crucial wickets, dismantling the middle and lower order of the Indian batting lineup. The Sri Lankan spinners exploited the spinning conditions to the fullest, and the Indian batters paid the price for it.

49.1 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! Maheesh Theekshana gets the final wicket and India have been bowled out for 213 runs in the last over! Sri Lanka have bowled out their opponents in the 14th game on a trot as they look to continue their dominance in 50-over cricket! This is bowled on a shorter length and well outside the off stump. Axar Patel charges down the wicket and looks to cross-bat this over the long on boundary. He does not connect this one as well as he would liked and hits this right down the throat of Sadeera Samarawickrama who makes no mistake keeping hold of the ball. India will be really disappointed with their batting effort and this is the first time India have lost all their wickets to spinners in an ODI game. Sri Lanka will be absolutely thrilled with their bowling effort and will be hoping to chase down this target with ease.

The first innings of the Super 4 stage clash between India and Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup has concluded, and it was a gripping battle between bat and ball. India, batting first, managed to post a total of 213 runs in their allotted 49.2 overs. The Sri Lankan bowlers were in exceptional form, particularly the spinners, who spun a web around the Indian batsmen on a dry and turning wicket. It was a night where spin reigned supreme, with the Lankan spinners accounting for all the Indian wickets.

UPDATE - 6.59 pm IST (1.29 pm GMT) - Great signs! Only the square is under cover now and it will not be long before the covers are completely off. The umpires have scheduled an inspection for 7.05 pm IST (1.35 pm GMT).

UPDATE - 6.38 pm IST (1.08 pm GMT) - Good news! The rain seems to have eased but the covers are still on.

UPDATE - 6.23 pm IST (12.53 pm GMT) - Uh oh! The drizzle has become heavier and the umpires have decided to take the players off.
