3rd Test: Stage set for series decider between England and South Africa

South Africa won the first Test at Lord's by an innings and 12 runs, before England, led by the captain marvel Ben Stokes, thrashed the tourists by an innings and 85 runs at Old Trafford. The dust has settled on that encounter and in the interim both teams have lost an important member of their middle order, with England's Jonny Bairstow having suffered a freak leg injury playing golf and South Africa's Rassie van der Dussen nursing a fractured finger. Both seam attacks are world class, and for the third Test running it is likely that the bat – and who can get first innings runs – will decide the outcome.

Asia Cup 2022: India vs SL: Interesting statistical trivia ahead of must-win game for the Men in Blue

Asia Cup has put India in a tricky position on the Super 4s points table. They are currently third amongst the four teams, with 0 points after 1 match and a NRR of -0.126. Sri Lanka lead the points table with 2 points (1 win in 1 game so far) and a NRR of +0.589. Pakistan who also have 1 win from 1 game played so far are in second place, behind SL only on NRR (+0.126). What this effectively means is that tonight's Super 4 clash between India and Sri Lanka in Dubai becomes a must-win match in a way for Rohit Sharma and co. After tonight's match vs SL, India will have only one Super 4 game left to play and that will be against Afghanistan on Thursday, September 8. As things stand right now all four teams which have qualified for the Super 4s have played 1 match each. While SL and Pakistan have won a game each, India and Afghanistan are still searching for their first points.

"I think they had a very good game (against Pakistan) last night. There is nothing called under pressure at the moment because they are playing very good cricket and will be well prepared for tomorrow's game," Shanaka said. That said, there will be some jitters in the Indian camp. Not coming good in crunch games in big tournaments has been a problem with India for most part of the last decade. On paper, India hold all the aces. But the team is far from being settled.
