IND vs SL Asia Cup 2023 Final: India record historic 10-wicket win to claim title
The struggle for Asia's biggest cricketing crown is about to witness an intense summit clash between India and Sri Lanka on Sunday in Colombo. India have played the ongoing Asia Cup as a top-drawer side and were the first team to qualify for the finals while the defending champions Sri Lanka have been slightly on and off in terms of their performances en route to the final. Both India and Sri Lanka have been two of the most successful teams in the history of the continental tournament.
While the Men in Blue would look to add a new chapter to their dominance in Asia Cup history, for the Lankan Lions it's an opportunity to come level with India in terms of most Asia Cup wins as they are just one behind the Rohit Sharma-led side.

We also wanted to bat first: Rohit Sharma
Would have batted first too, looks like a dry pitch. We are confident of chasing down whatever Sri Lanka put on the board. This is a good chance to go aggressive with the ball and see what the surface has to offer. We came really close last game, anything about 240 on this surface is good. Our job today is to do well with the ball, and then see what we can do with the bat. The crowd have been brilliant, good support for both teams but probably a bit more for Sri Lanka. Hopefully, they get to witness a good final. Everyone's back after the rest in the last game, Axar is injured so Washington Sundar comes in for him.
