DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Pathum Nissanka's scintillating century was in vain after Sri Lanka tied with India then lost a super over in tame fashion in the Asia Cup on Friday.

India had already qualified for the final and Sri Lanka was eliminated, but the way the last Super Four match panned out, “It felt like a final,” India captain Suryakumar Yadav said.

Sri Lanka scored two runs on the final ball and tied the score at 202-5 after 40 overs and forced the super over. But it could score only two runs as Arshdeep Singh picked up two wickets in four balls.

India will play Pakistan in the final on Sunday for the third time in the tournament. India
