Sri Lanka won their opening Super 4 match and another victory against Rohit Sharma's India in Dubai on Tuesday will edge them closer to a shot at the title. After a prolonged lean patch, the former captain has found form in the Asia Cup and struck his second successive half-century. It remains to be seen whether Hooda will get another chance, while Rishabh Pant faces criticism over poor shot selection. The two can reignite their rivalry in the final if both secure a top-2 finish. Dasun Shanaka-led Sri Lanka, who defeated Afghanistan, are leading the way with 2 points and an NRR of 0.589. "As far as the bowling is concerned, obviously this bowling unit needs to get better in many departments but I thought in the first half they bowled really well and Bishnoi, specially Bishnoi playing his first game that too against Pakistan in this Asia Cup, there was a lot of pressure. The star batter has scored 154 runs in three innings with two half-centuries. In absence of Avesh Khan, India accommodated two leg-spinners despite three left-handed batters in Pakistan's eleven. Charith Asalanka, Danushka Gunathilaka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa and captain Dasun Shanaka can be dangerous too, capable of making useful contributions in middle overs. The likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant and Deepak Hooda will try to forget the slip-up versus Pakistan and put up an impressive show in India's second Super 4 game.

But we want to come out with a very open mindset, play freely, so things like this can happen and we are ready to accept it," said Rohit in the post-match presentation.
