5:55pm: Hello and welcome to the live updates of match seven of Asia Cup 2016 to be played between India and Sri Lanka at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.
A hat-trick of wins in the Asia Cup on Tuesday will confirm India's place in the title clash. Interestingly, it will virtually press the eject button on defending champions Sri Lanka. But before that happens, both the sides are sweating to get their preferred XIs in place.
After an upset defeat at the hands of hosts Bangladesh, the pressure on Sri Lanka has grown manifold because in India they face the hottest T20 team around.
Plus, losing is not an option available to them. And adding to their woes is the flare-up of skipper Lasith Malinga's injury.
