Team India prep for the Asia Cup final


Indian cricket team led by Rohit Sharma has already started their prep for the final of Asia Cup 2023. Men in Blue had booked a place in the summit clash with a win over Lankans, two days ago. India have not win a single game in Asia Cup so far. Their first match against Pakistan was washed out. They outclassed Nepal in the next match. India met Pakistan again in the Super 4 clash, thrashing them by a margin of 228 runs. In their last match Sri Lanka, they got a stiff competition but they ended up winning that match by 41 runs too. 


India next faces Shakib Al Hasan's Bangladesh. Tigers have had a horrid tournament and already out of the tournament. Bangladesh will be playing for pride, looking to finish tournament on a high. At the same time, India will be treating this match as a practice game before the final.
