India vs Sri Lanka, Asia Cup 2023 Final, Prediction:
India and Sri Lanka have faced each other in 22 matches in Asia Cup tournaments. Out of these 22 games, India have won 11 whereas Sri Lanka have come out victorious on 11 occasions. Hence, the finale is going to be a head-to-head competition.
However, Rohit Sharma-led India might have the upper hand, with all of their major players back and recovered and performing. Be it KL Rahul or Jasprit Bumrah, all of them are top of their form.
Having said that, Men in Blue must remember that a 20-year-old had given them a hard time the last time they met. Young Dunith Wellalage fought like a man and made sure that the win wasn’t too easy for the 7-time Asia Cup champions.
