IND vs SL Dream11 Team: In the third Super 4 game of the Asia Cup 2022, hosts Sri Lanka will be battling out against India at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on 6 September, 2022 (Tuesday). Both the teams are coming into this important game on the back of witnessing contrasting results unfold in their respective previous matches. Sri Lanka have registered two amazing back-to-back victories against Bangladesh and Afghanistan while India lost their last game at the hands of Pakistan.
For India, Virat Kohli has definitely looked one of the most affluent and consistent batsmen in the ongoing 2022 edition of the Asia Cup. After his not so impressive knock during the first game of the season against Pakistan, the right-handed experienced cricketer has went on to smash two back-to-back amazing half-centuries. Virat seemed to be in his traditional good old form when he racked up an impressive innings of 60 runs off 44 deliveries that included 4 fours and 1 six in the previous Super 4 clash against Pakistan. In 6 T20 games against Sri Lanka, Kohli has notched up a total of 339 runs at an amazing average of more than 84.
