Hardik Pandya picked up 3 wickets in the end to bundle out Sri Lanka for 50.

We did everything we could achieve as a team in this tournament.

If you look at the numbers, spin bowlers have done better under lights taking 19 wickets at an average of 21.1. It has a lighter colour pitch as compared to the one beside it. It&#39;s a very hard surface with lots of grass cover. There will be good bounce as well. Spinners will play a part but it really looks like a good wicket to bat on. India got 356 in that game but expect seam movement under lights.&quot;&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>TOSS:-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>INDIA WON THE TOSS AND ELECTED TO <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/ball.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/> FIRST!!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>Rohit Sharma, <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/india.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/> Skipper: &quot; We are gonna field first. It is something we have not done in the tournament, we haven&#39;t done it under lights so it gives us an opportunity to bat under lights too. The wicket honestly has got everything for everyone. Pacers who bend their back in the daytime have also got movement and there have been assistance for the spinners. You have to be brave enough to play your natural game. We got to give some match time to some other guys who haven&#39;t played. We have made 5 changes. Virat, Hardik, Siraj, Bumrah and Kuldeep miss out. Tilak Verma makes his ODI debut. Mohammaed Shami and Prasidh Krishna also come into the side.

With India making many changes for the game today, they put their bench strength to the test today. With winning the toss and electing to bowl first, the Indian pacers performed brilliantly picking three wickets in the first powerplay. The 100-run partnership between the skipper Shakib (80 off 85) and T Hridoy (54 off 81) revived their innings after which the lower order of Bangladesh contributed well to take their score to 265 runs. In the second innings, the Bangladesh bowlers put pressure on their opposition by taking two crucial wickets in the first powerplay. One end was tightly held by Shubman Gill who went on to register his 5th ODI ton. With the team reaching closer to the target, &nbsp;Mahedi picked the key wicket of S Gill. Then Axar played his part making 42 runs but couldn&#39;t finish it off well.

It wasn&#39;t an easy time to bowl, Mahedi came to bowl and got us the breakthrough. Also, Tanzim bowled well at the start and took two wickets. We have got a very good team.

Both teams come into this contest on the back of wins in their respective games. Sri Lanka went past Bangladesh while the Men in Blue handed a heavy defeat to Arch Rivals Pakistan in the previous match. Winning against a top side in Pakistan will definitely boost India&#39;s confidence but the challenge here is the recovery from the game played yesterday and maintaining the same fitness levels is a task in its own. The fact that all the departments were at their best will make Rohit Sharma a happy captain. All the batters looked in good nick of things while the bowlers too were on top of their game. The men in blue have never shied away from challenges and the current squad has players that thrive under pressure in tough scenarios.

Whenever rain has not been around, cricket has been attractive and spectacular to watch because of the pace. When you look at the bounce in all the venues it is pretty high and has a similar kind of bounce, there&#39;s no low and slow bounce. The impact of pacers in this Asia Cup is huge as they have picked 70 percent of the wickets. The Wicket today is looking a lot different from the India-Pakistan pitch that was used yesterday. No grass on this one. This track looks a lot like the Premadasa of the old years. This has no grass and I have a feeling it will have an abrasive effect on the ball.&quot;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><br \/>\n<strong>TOSS:-<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>India wins the toss and elects to <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/cricket-bat.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/> first!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>Rohit Sharma,<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/india.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/> Skipper: &quot; We are going to have a bat. Playing on successive days is tough but that&#39;s the challenge you come across as a sportsman, different challenges thrown at you as a player and as a team. We ensured everyone got into the pool after the game last night for much-needed recovery. They are fresh as we had five days off before these two games. The last game was good for us, we batted well and then came out to defend the total with some good bowling. But again this is a new day and a fresh match. The pitch looks different, looks a lot drier and there&#39;s no grass hence we bring in Axar Patel for Shardul Thakur.

The top order was back in the pavilion with just 25 runs on the board. Thereafter it was the spinners that not only kept the scoring in check but also kept chipping in with wickets at regular intervals. Wellalage and De Silva kept the Sri Lankan hopes alive but ultimately succumbed under pressure conceding the game by 41 runs.&nbsp; <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/india.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/> has made it to the Finals of Asia Cup 2023!<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/trophy.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><strong>Sri Lanka&#39;s 13-match winning streak in ODI has ended and the Indian Team makes it to the finals of the Asia Cup for the 10th time!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#0000ff\"><strong>Dasun Shanaka, <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/sri-lanka.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/> Skipper: &quot; &nbsp;We didn&#39;t expect this kind of a track, I thought it was a batting wicket but we adjusted well, especially Wellalage, De Silva, and Asalanka.

Hardik Pandya has worked hard on his bowling over the last couple of years, and it&#39;s pleasing to see how he bowled that spell. Not an easy target to defend, to be honest. The pitch got slightly better towards the end so we had to hold our nerve and bowl consistently. Kuldeep Yadav for the past year or so has been bowling really well. He&#39;s worked hard on his rhythm and you can see the results in the last 10-15 ODIs he&#39;s played. He gives us a lot of options.

All the boxes ticked outclassing Pakistan in all three departments. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill were quick to get off the blocks while Virat Kohli and KL Rahul were simply magical to watch. A 233-run stand between the duo demoralised the Pakistani attack putting Men in Blue in the driver&#39;s seat. A target of 357 was never going to be an easy task on a wicket that had assistance for both seamers and spinners. Indian Pacers started well keeping the scoring in check but the damage was done in the second powerplay where almost every second ball was going past the outside edge of the Pakistani batters. Hardik Pandya getting the ball to cut off the surface proved to be a tough nut to crack for the opposition. Just when the seamers made the going tough for the batters, Kuldeep Yadav using his variety of tricks ran through the middle &amp; lower order singlehandedly. The wrist-spinner accounted for 5 wickets for just 25 runs from his eight overs. Pakistan eventually was bundled out for just 128 runs falling short by 228 runs which is the highest margin defeat for them against the Men in Blue!&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#16a085\"><strong>Babar Azam, <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/pakistan.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/> Skipper: &quot; Weather is something that is not in our hands but we tried our best.

New ball bowlers bowled well in the first powerplay swinging the ball both ways which made it tough for our batters.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>Rohit Sharma, <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/india.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/> Skipper: &quot; We just wanted to get out on the field, to get some match time. A lot of guys have not had that. That could only happen thanks to a great effort from the groundsmen. I know how tough it is to cover and remove covers from the whole ground. On behalf of the entire team, we would like to thank the ground staff. Considering our batting, &nbsp;Fantastic performance, right from yesterday. When we started, we knew the wicket was good and we had to adjust to the rain, The two experienced guys Kohli and Rahul knew they&#39;d take time to get their eyes in and then we could get going. Jasprit Bumrah looked good, he swung it both ways and he&#39;s worked really hard for the last 8-10 months. He is only 27, so for him to miss games isn&#39;t ideal but the way he bowled showed what he is all about. Looking at how we batted, there were lots of positives with the openers and then Kohli and KL. Virat&#39;s innings was brilliantly paced. And then KL, to get back from injury and then to know 5 minutes before the toss he&#39;s playing, to play that way shows the mindset of the player.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>Virat Kohli is the Player of the Match<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/crown.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/>Virat Kohli &quot;<\/strong>I<\/span><strong><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"> was going to ask you to keep the interview short, I&#39;m very tired. I&#39;m always prepared to help the team in different ways. Today, KL got a great start and my job was just to rotate strike. I take a lot of pride in trying to push for easy runs, pushing for a double is as easy as they come. (On the reverse ramp boundary) Because I crossed the 100, there was a bit of respect for that shot. I don&#39;t play shots like that and I looked very bad playing it. Me and KL are both conventional cricketers, We don&#39;t try fancy stuff but we can get a lot of purchases through good cricket shots. A great partnership and a good sign for Indian cricket. Very happy for him to come back to ODI cricket in that manner. About playing tomorrow,&nbsp; I was pushing for those runs and happy for it, but I was thinking I need to play at 3 p.m. tomorrow. Luckily, we are Test players, I&#39;ve played over 100 Tests so I know how to come back and play the next day. It was really humid out there, I&#39;m 35 in November so I need to be taking care of that recovery as well. A big shout-out to the groundsmen from my side, I think they did a fabulous job.&quot;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","MatchRow":3,"ProjectedScore":"200","2ndProjectedScore":"0","3rdProjectedScore":"0","MOM":"Virat Kohli","MOM_TYPE":"","MOMPlayerId":"2","MOMRuns":"122","MOMBalls":"94","MOMWicket":"-","MOMRC":"-","MOMImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/z6leMa92pV16939840822.png"},{"CompetitionID":125,"MatchID":1161,"MatchTypeID":3,"MatchType":"One Day","MatchStatus":"Post","MatchDate":"2023-09-04","MatchDateNew":"4 Sep 2023","MatchName":"India VS Nepal","MatchTime":"15:00","GMTMatchTime":"09:30 GMT","GMTMatchDate":"2023-09-04","FirstBattingTeamID":28,"FirstBattingTeamName":"Nepal","SecondBattingTeamID":1,"SecondBattingTeamName":"India","FirstBattingTeamCode":"NEP","SecondBattingTeamCode":"IND","GroundID":64,"GroundName":"Pallekele International Cricket Stadium","Commentss":"India Won by 10  Wickets  (D\/L Method) ","TossTeam":"India","TossDetails":"India won the Toss and elected to Field","TossText":" won the Toss and elected to Field","Flag":1,"FirstBattingSummary":"230\/10 (48.2 Ov)","SecondBattingSummary":"147\/0 (20.1 Ov)","ClientMatchID":"","MATCH_COMMENCE_START_DATE":"2023-09-04 15:00:00","city":"Pallekele","FlickrAlbumID":"","LiveStream":"","FBURL":"","T20ProMatchID":"","Temperature":"","WeatherIcon":"","TempUpdatedDate":"","GroundUmpire1ID":22,"GroundUmpire2ID":246,"GroundUmpire3ID":143,"RefereeID":86,"HomeTeamID":"1","HomeTeamName":"India","HomeTeamColor1":"","HomeTeamColor2":"","AwayTeamColor1":"","AwayTeamColor2":"","AwayTeamID":"28","AwayTeamName":"Nepal","timezone1":"Asia\/Kolkata","MatchEndDate":"4 Sep 2023","MatchEndTime":"23:30","MATCH_NO_OF_OVERS":"50","ROUND_ID":"0","MatchTypeName":"ODI","RowNo":2,"TeamType":null,"CompetitionName":"ASIA CUP 2023","GroundUmpire1":"Paul Wilson","GroundUmpire2":"Ruchira Palliyaguruge","ThirdUmpire":"Richard Illingworth","Comments":"India Won by 10  Wickets  (D\/L Method) ","HomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/RyVl86YukU1681370292Nepal.png","AwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/india.png","MatchHomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/india.png","MatchAwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/RyVl86YukU1681370292Nepal.png","VideoScorecard":0,"TimeZone":"+9.5","CurrentStrikerID":"2019-100mb00000000062-8fa4884a17f311","CurrentStrikerName":"Shubman Gill","StrikerRuns":67,"StrikerBalls":62,"StrikerFours":8,"StrikerSixes":1,"StrikerSR":108.06,"StrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/aRQPojZazl169356450662.png","CurrentNonStrikerID":"2018-100mb00000000006-2cf4bba8e99b11","CurrentNonStrikerName":"Rohit Sharma","NonStrikerRuns":74,"NonStrikerBalls":59,"NonStrikerFours":6,"NonStrikerSixes":5,"NonStrikerSR":125.42,"NonStrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/azPyZ1duQ616939247896.png","CurrentBowlerID":"2023-100mb00000002047-15972f88dcee11","CurrentBowlerName":"Gulshan Kumar Jha","BowlerOvers":"1.1","BowlerRuns":11,"BowlerMaidens":0,"BowlerWickets":0,"BowlerEconomy":9.43,"BowlerSR":0,"BowlerImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/HfX9ATNFhN16890690572047.png","ChasingText":"","MatchBreakComments":"","MatchProgress":"70.17","CurrentInnings":"2","1Summary":"230\/10 (48.2 Overs)","1FallScore":"230","1FallWickets":"10","1FallOvers":"48.2","1RunRate":"4.76","2Summary":"147\/0 (20.1 Overs)","2FallScore":"147","2FallWickets":"0","2FallOvers":"20.1","2RunRate":"7.29","3Summary":"","3FallScore":"","3FallWickets":"","3FallOvers":"","3RunRate":"","4Summary":"","4FallScore":"","4FallWickets":"","4FallOvers":"","4RunRate":"","5Summary":"","5FallScore":"","5FallWickets":"","5FallOvers":"","5RunRate":"","6Summary":"","6FallScore":"","6FallWickets":"","6FallOvers":"","6RunRate":"","DivisionID":"2","SecondInningsFirstBattingID":null,"SecondInningsFirstBattingName":"","SecondInningsSecondBattingID":null,"SecondInningsSecondBattingName":"","ThirdInningsFirstBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsFirstBattingName":"","ThirdInningsSecondBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsSecondBattingName":"","WinningTeamID":"1","MatchOrder":"2nd  ODI","RevisedOver":"23","RevisedTarget":"145","PreMatchCommentary":"<p>Hello and Welcome to the Live Commentary of game five of Asia Cup 2023 which will take place at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium between India and Nepal.
