That wraps up our coverage of this match. Do join us for the next encounter of the 2016 Asia Cup. It will be a crucial game as hosts Bangladesh take on Pakistan. That should be a riveting contest with a lot at stake for both sides. Tune in at 1900 IST tomorrow for the clash. Until then, it's goodbye from us.
MS DHONI feels that consistent performances are important. Points out on the stat regarding India's record in recent games where they have just lost 1 out of 9 matches. Feels that it was important for all batsmen to get a hit out there and credits Yuvraj for playing a good knock. Maintains that he is happy overall with the team's performance. Feels that the track did have help for the bowlers although it wasn't as hard as the previous matches. Says that it was a decent pitch as the batsmen too could get runs once set, especially with the dew in. Adds that the target of 139 wasn't a totally easy chase but is happy that his team did it with conviction. Credits his bowlers for being consistent and says that it is the reason why India haven't changed their bowling line up or even their XI as such. Feels that Pandya's presence gives balance to the side in all departments.
VIRAT KOHLI (MAN OF THE MATCH) says that he is happy being able to play such good knocks again in a pressure game. Says that it was important to be on the game today as the target was higher than the Pakistan game. Feels that it was important for him to force the pace to set the tempo of the innings. Reveals that it was a plan (regarding his stepping out to the quicker bowlers). States that it was a plan to also cut down on the movement gained by the bowlers while also upsetting their radar. Accepts that dew is certainly a factor but states that it isn't easy for a new batsman to get going although a set player can cash in.
ANGELO MATHEWS says that they were probably 20-30 runs short with the dew coming in. Credits India's batsmen for batting well and applauds Kohli in particular. Stresses on the dew factor again and says that the ball skidded through quickly. Feels that his side had to get more runs on the board. Admits that the start with the ball was good but says that they ran into an in-form Virat. States that he is unsure about the team selection for the next match.
Early in the evening, Sri Lanka finished well at the back end to post a decent score. Kapugedera held one end up while Siriwardana and Perera smashed the ball around to ensure that Mathews' men had something good on the board to defend. In the end, it proved to be nothing for India's batsmen as the target was gunned down with ease. Dhoni's boys have booked their spot in the final while Sri Lanka's fate in this tournament is now hanging on a knife's edge.
Kulasekara was the pick of the bowlers, especially with the new ball while Mathews was economical. However, the other bowlers couldn't sustain the pressure as they were put away with disdain by India's batsmen. The scorecard may show that India won with just 4 balls to spare but numbers couldn't be more deceptive as India were never really in any danger during the chase barring perhaps the Powerplay overs. The defending champions could just not create the pressure on a consistent basis with the ball.
Clinical chase by India as they register their third win on the trot in the 2016 Asia Cup. Chasing 139 to win, India lost their openers quite early in the piece but once again it was that man, Kohli who rose to the occasion as is customary for him if it is a run chase. Raina gave him good support and then Yuvraj blitzed a cameo that virtually settled the case. Pandya departed early and once again Dhoni was there at the end while Kohli got to an unbeaten fifty. It was a well-paced chase from the Indians.

Lovely ball and India have lost half their side now. This could be a bit too late for the Lankans. 14 needed off 13 now. Maybe 1 more wicket now can make it interesting.
