Thank you to @HawkAussie @A.P Haux @Disharies for competing in the 2001 ASCON Asia Cup.​
 
In all seriousness, I am completely shocked by Bangladesh's elimination. China are having a dream run atm. A 3-0 series win vs Sri Lanka, and an Asia Cup semi-final in their debut year. But I do believe their fairytale is going to hit a concrete wall named India, which is, if they get past Pakistan in the first place.
 
Miraculously no further injuries for the side and Lei Shan is alright meaning we will be able to face this Pakistani challenge head on.

One change as Xu Yun will be rotated for this game as He Weimin comes back into the side.

Vijay Kambli got his fourth century on a pitch that really shined through with them and a
Vikas Samant half-century gave India a good batting performance as they scored 357 from their
50 overs.

Wasala Gunawardena was the pick of the bowlers as he took three wickets for Sri Lanka and
was the only player to be at 6 per over and below. Suraj Tilakaratna and Lalinda Jayawardene
was the other wicket takers in the innings.

Chasing down a target of 358 from their 50 overs, Prabath Vimukthi almost scored a century batting
at the top of the order but was bowled for 99 by Zeeshan Khan who got only one wicket for India.

The rest of the batting order couldn't assist with Mayas Kumble getting three wickets in the chase.
This meant that the Indians would qualify through to their second grand final.

Code:
INDIA                357/6     50.0 overs
SRI LANKA            200       39.2 overs
  
India won by 157 runs
 
Man of the match: Vijay Kambli (India)

 
This Indian side is far too strong. Wouldn't have expected any other result.

Back-to-back Asia Cup wins loading?
I demand to set up a WCC Committee and conduct a deep dive investigation on this issue. The truth should be out and @Pinch hitter needs to provide answers.
