DHAKA: Sri Lanka are all set to face a do or die match against India in the Asia Cup at Sher-e Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Tuesday (March 01).

The match is scheduled to begin at 7:30pm.

With a single win against UAE by 14 runs and 23-run defeat against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka now hold the third position with two points at the Asia Cup 2016 point table.

India, wins from their last eight T20s, are fresh from a high-octane triumph against their greatest rivals.

Sri Lanka, having lost six of their last eight T20s, have been comprehensively beaten by a team they used to lord it over.

Shikhar Dhawan has recovered from the trouble that ruled him out of the previous match against Pakistan which India has won by five wickets.

He is expected to open again alongside Rohit Sharma, who has already been cleared to play after injury.

Malinga remains unavailable due to a knee condition, Sri Lanka may think about giving a misfiring Thisara Perera another match.

The last time India and Sri Lanka had faced off prior to their recent three-match T20I series had been the final of ICC World T20 2014, which Sri Lanka had won.
