I do not think they will be under any pressure," said Shanaka in a pre-match press conference.About his side's match strategies, the SL skipper said that it will play in a positive manner and the focus will be on batting."Our strategy is mainly about batting, having long partnerships at the top of order. If we end up having that, we will have a better chance of winning the game," he added.Talking about the Indian bowling attack in absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, and Mohammed Shami, the SL skipper said, "I do not think so (that they are inexperienced). They are a proper bowling attack. They have played a lot of IPL and have a lot of experience."Shanaka said that team will prepare to tackle star Indian batter Virat Kohli, who is having a great Asia Cup so far, having scored 154 runs in three innings with two half-centuries.Talking about bowling spin against India, who is struggling against spin as of late, the SL skipper said that he hopes that his main spinners will do good.India's next Super Four phase clash against Sri Lanka at the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 will be extremely crucial for Men in Blue for their chances of qualifying for the final of the tournament that they have won seven times and are currently defending, while Sri Lanka will be looking forward to solidifying their chances of further progress in the tournament.India heads into this match with a heavy wound of loss to arch-rival Pakistan in their first Super Four clash.
