NEW DELHI: Following a low-scoring Super Four stage match win at the R Premadasa Stadium, India clinched a spot in the Asia Cup final by defeating defending champions Sri Lanka by 41 runs.
India's innings appeared underwhelming as they were bowled out for 213 in 49.1 overs, an unusual outcome for the team as all ten wickets fell to spinners for the first time in their history. Dunith Wellalage (5-40) rattled India's top order, while Charith Asalanka (4-18) took care of the tail, limiting India to a below-par total.
