The Super Four 3rd match of Asia Cup T20 2022 is scheduled to play between India and Sri Lanka on Tuesday, 6th September 2022 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.

India lost against Pakistan in a nail-biting match and now they have no chance to repeat the mistakes and have to win both matches remaining against Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. On the other side, Sri Lanka had beaten Afghanistan in 1st super four matches by chasing a record total in Sharjah and they will be confident for this important game and an upset in this match.

Ravindra Jadeja is out from Asia Cup 2022 due to injury and this is a massive blow for India. He is a hard hitter and can also bowl some overs in the middle. Deepak Hoda came to replace him but we don’t think that he can fill his place. The key batters of Sri Lanka are back to good form and this match is going to be very interesting. In case of winning, Sri Lanka will cement its place in the final of Asia Cup 2022. Remember that Sri Lanka is the second most successful team in the history of the Asia Cup after India.

Indian batting order came with an attacking strategy once again against Pakistan. They started firing right with the first ball of the batting inning. They batted well and put a handsome total of 182 runs for Pakistan to chase. KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma batted well in the powerplay overs and scored 62 runs in the first six overs. Virat Kohli is back to good form after a long time and had been good in almost all matches he played in Asia Cup. He proved the highest run-scorer with 60 runs to his name on 44 balls with the help of four boundaries and one huge six. Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, and Hardik Pandya were not good with the bat in the middle overs. We don’t have any doubt that the middle batting order of India is strong and we should have confidence in it.

The batting order of India is very strong but their main problem is the bowling unit. Arshdeep Singh was just superb with the ball in the previous match against India but he dropped an important catch. This happens in such a high-pressure game. Ravi Bishnoi also had an outstanding performance with the ball but Bhuvenshwar Kumar, Hardik Pandya, and Yuzvendra Chahal suffered in the middle and last overs. Almost all of these bowlers picked one wicket each. We think they will be missing Ravindra Jadeja but we don’t think that they are going to make any changes in the final playing eleven for this match. They will play this match with the same team against Pakistan.

Sri Lanka dominated the favorite team Afghanistan in the previous match and now has to win just one out of two matches remaining against India and Pakistan. Sri Lanka had now played three matches with two wins to their name. The bowling unit of this team had been poor in almost all matches. The same we saw in the previous match where they leaked 175 runs in 20 overs in the first super four matches against Afghanistan. Dilshan Madushanka and Wanindu Hasarnaga are the only bowlers who had been good in this tournament. They had been a regular threat to the opposition. We think that Maheesh Theekshana will be dangerous in this match against India.

The batting order of Sri Lanka was just superb in the previous match and they won the match due to an outstanding performance. They chased the target of 176 runs in 19.1 overs and almost all batters from their side put some runs on the board. Pathum Nissanka, Danushka Gunathilaka, and Bhanuka Rajapaksa were just good with the bat. These batters are dangerous in T20 cricket and can create problems for the bowling unit of India. Chamika Karunaratne, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Dasun Shanaka are also in good form for Sri Lanka which is not a good thing for India.

India had played 25 T20 matches against Sri Lanka where they had won 17 matches while Sri Lanka had won 7 matches. One match between India and Sri Lanka ended with no result.

India: KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Deepak Hooda, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ravi Bishnoi, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh.

Sri Lanka: Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Charith Asalanka, Danushka Gunathilaka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Dasun Shanaka (c), Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne, Maheesh Theekshana, Asitha Fernando, Dilshan Madushanka.

India is a very strong and experienced team in T20 cricket and we have no doubt that they are overall a strong team as compared to Sri Lanka at least on papers. According to our match prediction, India is the favorite team who will win this 3rd Match. There are many factors that make India a favorite team to win this 3rd Match. Some of the key reasons are mentioned as under:

• India is overall a strong and experienced team in T20 cricket

India is a combination of experienced and young players of the t20 foramt. The batting order of this team is also strong and some well-known hitters of the t20 format are part of the squad of this team, so the winning chances of today’s match for India have been increased. The equation of who will win today’s cricket match prediction and who will win the cricket 3rd Match today is mentioned as under.

India has a 58% chance to win this match
Sri Lanka has a 42% chance to win this match

The toss is going to play an important role in the decision of all matches of Asia Cup T20. Having a good total on the board is always a big advantage in these kinds of big Matches. According to our toss prediction, the team who will win the toss may choose to bat first.

The Super Four 3rd match of Asia Cup T20 2022 is going to be held at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. This pitch is offering a flat batting surface with a huge amount of pace and bounce. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this 3rd Match. A score of 170 to 180 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Dubai will be hot and will also test the players physically. It is predicting some clouds around on Matchday but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
