Eam India Snatched Victory from Sri Lanka in Super Over: Sixer of Jeet

The aggressive century of Sri Lankan opener Pathum Nissanka brought the Indian bowlers under pressure for the first time in the Asia Cup. But with the unmatched performance of Arshdeep Singh in the super over, the Indian team defeated Sri Lanka and registered a sixth consecutive win in the tournament. With the help of the third half -century in Abhishek Sharma’s tournament in the ongoing form, India scored 202 runs for five wickets in 20 overs when he was sent for the first batting. In response, Sri Lanka had almost stepped towards victory with the help of Nisanka’s century. In the last over of Harshit Rana, he needed 12 runs and three runs off the last ball, on which Dasun Shanaka was able to take only two runs and the match went to the super over.

Super Opar was named after Arshdeep Singh
The super over was completely in the name of Arshdeep who took two wickets for two runs in five balls. India got a target of three runs which captain Suryakumar Yadav achieved on the first ball. Earlier, chasing the target, Kusal Mendis was dismissed by Hardik Pandya in the first over. After this, Nisanka (107 runs off 58 balls) and Perera (58 runs in 32 balls) did not give any chance to the Indian bowlers.

Nisanka and Perera raised India’s concern
Harshit took one wicket for 54 runs in four overs while Arshdeep gave 46 runs in four overs. Left -handed spinner Akshar Patel gave 32 runs in three overs. Both Sri Lankan batsmen increased the concern of Suryakumar by adding 127 runs in less than 12 overs. Finally, Varun Chakraborty broke this partnership by dismissing Perera. In an attempt to play and play, Perera missed and Sanju Samson did not miss stumping.

Nisanka completed her century in 52 balls
After this, Charit Asanka (five) and Kamindu Mendis (three) were also dismissed early. Nisanka completed her century in 52 balls in Arshdeep’s over. He hit seven fours and six sixes in his innings. Earlier, Abhishek continued his brilliant form and scored a half -century while Samson played a useful innings of 39 runs and took India to 202 runs for five wickets. This was the highest score of any team in this tournament. Earlier, India scored 188 runs against Oman and Afghanistan against Hong Kong. Abhishek scored 61 runs in 31 balls while Samson scored 39 runs in 22 balls at number five. Tilak Verma scored an unbeaten 49 off 34 balls.

Abhishek gave a lot of advice to bowlers in powerplay
Like the entire tournament, Abhishek gave a lot of advice to the bowlers in the powerplay and scored a hat -trick of half -centuries. He hit eight fours and two sixes in this innings while Shubman Gill and captain Suryakumar Yadav were dismissed cheaply. Abhishek, however, missed a century for the third time and caught the deep midwicket border off Sri Lankan captain Charit Asanka. Gill, after scoring four runs, became a victim of Mahish Tishta. Captain Suryakumar (12) was dismissed by Vanindu Hasranga. In the new batting order, Samson, who is looking for his rhythm, appeared in great form for the first time in the tournament. He hit three sixes in which the sixes hit Hasranga were fantastic. He placed his frontfoot out of the leg stump to make a place and hit a stormy six on the site screen. In the next over, he hit Dasun Shanaka six. He shared a 66 -run partnership with Tilak in 6.5 overs. Akshar Patel ended the Indian innings with sixes.
