Asia Cup 2008 Live ScoreBoard : Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat first

July 3, 2008

Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene won the toss and decided to bat first against India in the Super Four match of the Asia Cup.

The batting has clicked for both India and Sri Lanka so far in the tournament but Pakistan’s performance against the two teams highlighted how undercooked India’s bowlers are. They have failed to come to grips with the flat decks in Karachi and it’s their batsmen who bailed them out in the wins against Bangladesh and Pakistan.

India would have ideally rested some players but their inability to beat Pakistan makes the Sri Lanka game significant. Dhoni suffered from cramps during his 76 and even Gary Kirsten, India’s coach, has admitted the ODI captain needs a break.
