SEATTLE — After playing her final game in the WNBA on Tuesday as the Las Vegas Aces eliminated her Seattle Storm from the playoffs with a 97-92 win in Game 4 of their semifinals series, Sue Bird wasn't sure yet how to feel about her career coming to an end.
Sri Lanka on Tuesday, it was the left-arm pace bowling of rookie Dilshan Madushanka that surprised and rocked India before the six-wicket defeat that pushed Rohit Sharma's men to the edge of the exit door of the T20 Asia Cup in the UAE. It was India's second consecutive defeat in the 'Super 4s' stage, after losing to Pakistan, and now leaves them with only the game against Afghanistan in hand and a very, very slim outside chance of sneaking into the final. Madushanka, who came into this match against India with a cumulative experience of just three T20Is under his belt, dealt the Men in Blue a huge blow when he uprooted Virat Kohli's stumps in the third over of India's innings. Virat, who had scored a 44-ball 60 in India's last match against Pakistan and was looking for another big score to consolidate his run of form, was sent back for a four-ball duck. India were reduced to 13/2.
Rajapaksa said Sri Lanka have shaken off their underdogs tag and proved they can challenge at next month's T20 World Cup, after beating India to stand on the verge of the Asia Cup final.

Asia Cup, the Indian team is facing some flak for a below-par show but skipper Rohit Sharma insists that the team combination is more or less settled going into the T20 World Cup, though, they are still looking for some "answers". The absence of an indisposed Avesh Khan and Ravindra Jadeja, who underwent a knee surgery, meant that India competed with only two frontline seamers -- Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Arshdeep Singh -- with Hardik Pandya being the third fast-medium option.
The rangy 23-year-old was left hobbling towards the end of his career-best 89 which set the platform for a tight two-wicket victory in Cairns on Tuesday. "I should be all good (for Thursday). I’ve got a good recovery day today.
Sri Lanka's first blow when he deceived KL Rahul, yorking the opener in front of the stumps in the second over of the match. Theekshana's unconventional brand of off-spin is the talk of the town. Interestingly, had it not been for a hamstring injury, he would have been a fast bowler.
MELBOURNE : Australia all-rounder Cameron Green has shrugged off an attack of cramp that overshadowed his match-winning half-century against New Zealand and is hopeful of being fit for the second ODI on Thursday.
