IND VS SL Live Cricket Score and Updates, Super 4 Asia Cup 2023 Ind vs SL Highlights, Super 4 Asia Cup 2023: India successfully ended Sri Lanka's 13-match winning streak in ODIs, despite a challenging pitch that made chasing 214 runs a formidable task. Bumrah and Siraj struck early, claiming three quick wickets to dent Sri Lanka's top order. When Sadeera and Asalanka were building a partnership, Kuldeep Yadav intervened, breaking the stand. Later, Jadeja took charge, further unsettling Sri Lanka by reducing them to 99/6. However, DdS and Wellalage's 63-run partnership briefly tilted the balance in Sri Lanka's favour. But when DdS attempted a boundary and perished, and despite Wellalage's resilience, Sri Lanka's remaining batsmen couldn't hold firm.
The pitch favoured spin less than it did in the first innings, but India maintained relentless pressure with their bowling and fielding. It was a collective team effort, with Kohli frequently offering advice to Rohit. With this victory, India appears almost certain to secure a spot in the final.

IND vs SL LIVE Score Updates: India Captain Rohit Sharma After Winning The Match
"Was a good game. For us also to play a game like that under pressure on a slightly challenging pitch. Challenging in a lot of aspects. Definitely looking to play on pitches like this to see what we can achieve, we might as well come here and play on pitches like these. [on Hardik] He has worked really hard in his bowling for the last couple of years. It doesn't happen overnight and it's pleasing to see. He looked like taking a wicket off every ball. Was not an easy target to defend as the pitch got easier at the end and we had to put it consistently in one area and I think we did quite well. [on Kuldeep] For the past year or so bowling really really well. He has done a lot of hard work on his rhythm. He went back to the drawing board and worked on it. The ball is coming out nicely and you can see the results in the last 10 ODIs."

"We didn't expect this kind of wicket, I thought it was a batting wicket but we adjusted well, especially Wellalage, DDS and Asalanka. The luxury of two genuine batters, they have been bowling in the nets and I know their real potential, today I had the option of using them today. Seeing the last game against Bangladesh I knew he (Wellalage) would do something special today, he took Kohli's wicket and I was pretty sure it was his day and will take a couple more wickets."
IND vs SL LIVE Score Updates: KL Rahul On Team India's Impressive Win
"It was amazing, we were trusted throughout. We were not on the field for 100 overs but how many ever overs we were there it tested us physically, great to see we turned up today and gave it our best. We turned up and that is a big tick mark for us as a team. Always happy when I contribute to the team, when you are batting in the middle order it is important to build partnerships. I have been out for 4-5 months, I will take anything that comes, it was a crucial partnership with Kishan. Third day in a row playing at the same vene, bit of spin but we managed it really well, we were 20-30 runs short, few more partnerships could have got us to 230-240. When you are behind the stumps, you have a good idea as to what the batter is doing and I just passed on the message, luckily it worked for Kuldeep."
