<h2>While the Mumbai air pollution has taken all the limelight away from cricket in the buildup to India vs Sri Lanka contest, a victory will see Rohit Sharma's men qualify for the semis.&nbsp;</h2>

A semifinal berth awaits Team India when they face Sri Lanka at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. This encounter harks back to the 2011 World Cup final, where India triumphed against the Lankans at the very same venue.
Rohit Sharma&rsquo;s men have been simply unstoppable so far, winning 6 out of 6 games. A victory against the Islanders will see them become the first team this World Cup to qualify for the last four.
While smog and humidity have dominated headlines in Mumbai recently, the cricketing spotlight will once again shine on the dynamic duo of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. These two Indian stalwarts have been in sensational form, and the fervent Wankhede crowd is eager for another display of their batting prowess.
The pitch in Mumbai has been a goldmine for runs. South Africa showed that in two games they played here and India will also be looking to make the most of it to boost their net run rate even further. However, it&rsquo;s the humidity and the smog that might prove to be the bigger test for the players.
The Mumbai wicket will also provide another opportunity for Kohli to equal Sachin Tendulkar&rsquo;s record of 49 ODI tons. Achieving this milestone right after the unveiling of a life-size statue of the Master Blaster at the Wankhede would be a memorable moment.
On the other side of the coin, Sri Lanka, with only two victories from six games, faces an arduous path to qualification. Their primary objective will be to win against India and disrupt their flawless run in the tournament.
TEAM NEWS
Hardik Pandya is still not available so India are likely to play the same XI as the last game but there could be considerations to rest either Jasprit Bumrah or Mohammed Siraj.
HEAD-TO-HEAD IN WORLD CUP

<h2>The Women in Blue were on fire in Hangzhou, defeating Sri Lanka by a comfortable 19-run margin to give India their first-ever cricket medal in Asian Games history.</h2>

In a historic triumph, the Indian women's cricket team achieved a long-awaited Gold medal victory at the Asian Games in Hangzhou.
Breaking free from their history of near misses in finals, the Women in Blue showcased their prowess, securing victory over Sri Lanka with a comfortable 19-run margin and thus marking India's maiden cricket medal in the annals of the Asian Games.
Under the stellar bowling performance by Titas Sadhu, who clinched 3 wickets for a mere 6 runs in her 4 overs, the Indian team emerged as Champions in China.
The foundation for this victory was laid by vice-captain Smriti Mandhana's impactful 46-run innings, setting a challenging target of 117 for Sri Lanka on a challenging pitch. While doubts lingered at halftime regarding India's ability to seize the final victory, the Women in Blue triumphed and shattered the jinx in Hangzhou.
Notably, this Gold medal victory for India's women's cricket team was the second Gold of the day for the nation, following the Men's 10m Air Rifle team event where the trio of <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/others-sports/asian-games-2023-first-gold-medal-for-india-rudrankksh-patil-divyansh-singh-and-aishwary-pratap-win-men-s-10m-air-rifle-team-event-1695609213058">Rudrankksh Patil, Divyansh Singh, and Aishwary Pratap clinched Gold</a>.

<h2>Sri Lankan skipper Dasun Shanaka highlighted how wickets upfront will be key against India in the Asia Cup final.</h2>

Sri Lanka will yet again go into an Asia Cup final as the underdogs despite the game being played in Colombo. The hosts lost to India in the Super 4 match but their captain Dasun Shanaka believes the slow pitch at the Premadasa Stadium may help them.
Shanaka also stressed on the importance of taking wickets upfront against the Men in Blue on the Colombo strip.
He said, "See, it totally depends on the pitch. So the pitches have played playing a part in this tournament. So according to the pitch stats, we are picking a good side and, you know, especially bowling against India. And so we need to take more wickets upfront so that that opens up the game for us. So I think that's a key area in the game."
The defending champions, who like last year, started the tournament as underdogs, are peaking at the right time according to the skipper, "The boys deliberately want to deliver for the country. So, as a team, you know, we've been underdogs so everyone wanted to perform on the biggest stage. And these youngsters, need to show the world what they are capable of. I think that's the secret of these young people."
The Sri Lankan captain also downplayed India's loss to Bangladesh in the final Super 4 match, highlighting how the Indian team had made several changes before the dead rubber, stating, "They changed the whole team. I mean, the best players, they rested. So I'm not surprised it can happen to any team. Right. So India I know that they are the best, but still Bangladesh team, did their part in this regard. So as I mentioned before, the wicket played a part. We know how good India is when it comes to good tracks. So yeah, it's not surprising, but you know, it can be happening in world cricket."
India and Sri Lanka will lock horns in the summit clash on Sunday, 3 PM.

India vs Sri Lanka rain update: R Premadasa Colombo weather forecast on Sunday | Asia Cup Final 2023

<h2>While the India-Bangladesh game took place without any rain interruptions, the summit clash between India and Sri Lanka could potentially face several rain delays.</h2>

Rain has been a persistent issue in the ongoing Asia Cup 2023 in Sri Lanka, and it appears to be posing a threat to the much-awaited final between India and Sri Lanka in Colombo.
The clash between India and Bangladesh experienced no interruptions from rain. However, weather forecasts suggest that the final on Sunday may not be as fortunate.
Accuweather predicts that the India vs Sri Lanka match is likely to commence on time, albeit under cloudy skies between 3-6 PM. However, the outlook darkens with thunderstorms anticipated at 6 PM and 8 PM, potentially causing delays in the game.
Although the weather is expected to improve around 9 PM, another spell of rain is foreseen around 10 PM. This raises concerns about potential disruptions during the match.
In case rain intervenes on Sunday, a reserve day has been scheduled for the final. However, this contingency plan might also be affected by inclement weather, adding to the uncertainty of the much-anticipated Asia Cup 2023 final.

<h2>While Indian captain Rohit Sharma hit yet another ODI fifty, the rest of the batters failed on a track that aided the Lankan spinners.</h2>

Dunith Wellalage was the star of the show for Sri Lanka, bamboozling the Indian batters on a spin-friendly wicket.
The Indians were cruising at 80 for no loss at the start of the match, with captain <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/cricket/india-vs-sri-lanka-rohit-sharma-unlocks-special-achievement-scores-10000-runs-in-odis-1694518633219">Rohit Sharma scoring yet another quickfire fifty</a>, and becoming the <a href="https://www.editorji.com/amp/web-stories/sports/cricket/indian-captain-rohit-sharma-makes-record-with-10000-odi-runs-india-vs-sri-lanka-asia-cup-2023-1694520161315">second-fastest batter to complete 10,000 ODI runs</a> along with it.
However, Wellalage picked up a wicket off his very first ball to kickstart the procession. Kohli and Rohit too perished soon after, and while KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan got a partnership going, Wellalage returned to send both of them back.
The 20-year-old completed his quota of 10 overs just the way he started it, picking up a wicket off his final ball to complete a dream 5-wicket haul.
Part-timer Charith Asalanka then piled more misery on the Indians, managing to take 4 lower-order wickets in quick succession to restrict India to 213-all out.

Suryakumar Yadav now has 3 out of the 5 fastest tons by an Indian in international cricket, and all 3 of them have come in T20Is.

The Islanders needed 21 off the final 12 balls. Bhuvi's penultimate over leaked 14 runs and with 7 needed off the final 6 deliveries, Arshdeep nailed his yorkers right but still couldn't stop Sri Lanka from crossing the line.

With Avesh Khan unwell and the Men In Blue in desperate need of a win against Sri Lanka, it won't come as a surprise if the team management brings in standby bowler Deepak Chahar to the main squad.

Asia Cup 2022, Super 4, India vs Sri Lanka Preview : After failing to defend a big total against Pakistan in their first Super 4 encounter, India will be seeking balance in their bowling department in a must-win game against Sri Lanka on Tuesday (September 6) in the Asia Cup. The five-bowler plan backfired against the Men In Green in Dubai and now Rohit Sharma has to get the best out of their thin bowling resources.&nbsp;
With Avesh Khan unwell and Men In Blue in desperate need of a win against Sri Lanka, it won't come as a surprise if the management brings in standby bowler Deepak Chahar to the main squad.
With three left-handers in Sri Lanka's top 6, India might also feel tempted to include off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in the Playing XI. If that happens, Yuzvendra Chahal, who has taken only one wicket in 3 matches this tournament, might have to make way.
Meanwhile, wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant might also get the axe. It was visible during the game against Pakistan that captain Rohit was livid with the southpaw for throwing his wicket away at a crucial juncture of the game. However, in his absence, the Men In Blue's batting will be without a left-hander, barring Arshdeep Singh who will be the last man in that lineup.

To address that, India could also bring in Axar Patel in place of Deepak Hooda. While Axar will bring even more variety to the bowling department, India might also look at recalling Dinesh Karthik into the Playing XI, given how they dearly missed the services of a finisher in the previous match.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, are high on confidence after notching a superb win in their previous two matches. However, Charith Asalanka's lean patch has been a big headache for the Islanders.
On the eve of the match, captain Dasun Shanaka hinted that Asalanka could make way for all-rounder Dhananjaya de Silva.
While talking to mediapersons, the Sri Lankan captain also heaped praise on senior batter Virat Kohli, who has been India's leading run-scorer in the ongoing Asia Cup.
