India vs Sri Lanka LIVE Score, Asian Games 2026 Semi-Final: Ishan Kishan's Unbeaten 80 Steers India To 169/7 vs Sri Lanka

After launching a six, Abhishek Sharma's stay at the crease comes to an abrupt end. Looking to create room once again and go big, the left-hander fails to get hold of the shot. He misses the line, gets a thick outside edge, and the ball loops gently to short third, where the catch is safely taken. A big breakthrough for Sri Lanka!
