India qualify for Asia Cup final with 41-run victory over Sri Lanka; Rohit Sharma’s side to face Pakistan or Sri Lanka in Sunday’s final; India successfully defend 213 all out in Colombo with spinner Kuldeep Yadav <\/strong><\/a>taking four wickets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India booked their place in the final of the Asia Cup after snapping Sri Lanka’s 13-match winning streak in ODI cricket with a 41-run victory in Colombo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India, a day after demolishing Pakistan by 228 runs at the same ground, successfully defended a total of 213 all out as Sri Lanka were dismissed for 172 in reply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rohit Sharma’s side will face the winners of Thursday’s game between Sri Lanka and Pakistan in Sunday’s final with Bangladesh’s hopes of advancing from the Super Four now over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dunith Wellalage’s <\/strong><\/a>excellent all-round display came in vain for Sri Lanka, with the left-arm spinner, 20, taking a five-wicket haul and scoring an unbeaten 42.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wellalage dismissed five of India’s top six, removing Rohit (53), Shubman Gill (19) and Virat Kohli (3) as Rohit’s team slipped from 80-0 to 91-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The youngster then ended a half-century stand between KL Rahul (39) and Ishan Kishan (33) when he caught Rahul off his own bowling before also going on to oust Hardik Pandya (5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sri Lanka, who had last been beaten in ODI cricket by Afghanistan in June, slumped to 25-3 and then 99-6 in the chase before a stand of 63 between Wellalage and Dhananjaya de Silva (41) gave them hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
