Sri Lankan opener Pathum Nissanka showcased a powerful century, causing a tough day for Indian bowlers in the Asia Cup. Despite the challenge, Arshdeep Singh excelled in the ‘Super Over,’ securing a win for India on Friday.

India will now compete in the tournament final against Pakistan, having won six consecutive matches.

With Abhishek Sharma’s third half-century of the event, India posted 202 for 5 in 20 overs. Nissanka’s explosive batting brought Sri Lanka close to victory, but they ended on the same score.

Sri Lanka needed 12 runs off the last over from Harshit Rana and three off the final ball. Dasun Shanaka, remaining unbeaten at 22 from 11 balls, could only score two, leading to the Super Over.
