India Captain Rohit Sharma Wins The Toss And Chooses To Bat First Against Sri Lanka
India turned out for their third straight day on international cricket as previously they had played against Pakistan on September 10 and 11 and now faced off against Asia Cup 2023 co-hosts Sri Lanka in the Super 4s stage in Colombo on September 12, 2023.
India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat first in the sweltering heat of Colombo. India made one change to their playing XI, keeping the fact that the pitch slows up in night, and brought in Axar Patel in place of Shardul Thakur.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, came into the match with the same playing XI. A win here for Sri Lanka will take them into the finals of the tournament, and will also knock Pakistan out.
But if India wins, they go into the final of Asia Cup 2023, and then the Pakistan vs. Sri Lanka game becomes a virtual semi-final.
