With two wins in two days, against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, respectively, the Indian cricket team qualified for the final of the ongoing Asia Cup on Tuesday.

"No Social Media, No TV": Pakistan Great's Blunt Message To Team Ahead Of Sri Lanka clash

Pakistan bowling coach Morne Morkel feels that Pakistan spinners will make a comeback against Sri Lanka after a disappointing overall display in the Asia Cup.
