After a total of 12 matches of group stage and super fours, we have the 2 teams - India and Sri Lanka, who will face each other in the finals of the Asia Cup 2023. The match is scheduled to take place on 17th September at R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka defeated Pakistan in a last-ball thriller match and claimed the berth in the final against India. India advanced to the finals after defeating Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Let’s take a look at the dream11 team prediction for this final match of Asia Cup.
We have seen 3 out of the last 4 matches on this ground were won by the team batting first. The last match was won by the chasing team but a lot of credit for that goes to rain and reduced overs. The bowlers are making a good impact on the pitch in the last matches. The average score is around 265.
The weather report predicts thundershowers on the match day and the temperature is expected to hover around 27-29°C.
Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul (wk), Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj

We are expecting the same playing 11 from both the teams which they used in the last head to head match in Super 4. No injuries or replacements are reported so far.
India dominates Sri Lanka in the ODI head to head stats. They have won 97 out of 166 face-offs while Sri Lanka have won 57 times. 11 matches have ended in no-result.

KL Rahul is making a strong comeback after his injury. He has scored 150 runs in 2 innings in this Asia Cup. We are backing him as the dream11 captain for the final match and expect another thrilling knock from his bat.
Bumrah has also returned from the injury after a long break. In the last match against SL, Bumrah ended with 2/30 in 7 overs. He will be a key pacer in this final showdown.
Kuldeep Yadav has picked 9 wickets in 4 matches in this Asia Cup. If he picks at least 2 wickets in the final match then he will finish as the highest wicket taker of the tournament. He is gripping the ball well on this track.
Dunith Wellalage is a young talent from Sri Lanka who has been quite impressive in this Asia Cup. Despite his team losing the match, he was adjudged Player of the Match in the last match against India.
Kusal Mendis is currently the leading run scorer with 253 runs in 5 innings. He is a key batsman for Sri Lanka in this final match. Mendis smashed 91 off 87 deliveries against Pakistan.
