India won the 2023 Asia Cup the last time they played in Sri Lanka

The last time India played in Sri Lanka, they won the 2023 Asia Cup by convincingly defeating the hosts in the final in Colombo. Pacer Mohammed Siraj's figures of 6-21 ensured Sri Lanka were bowled out for just 50 runs in 15.2 overs much to the disappointment of the passionate home fans.

In reply, Rohit Sharma's men chased down the target of 51 runs in just 6.1 overs and won by 10 wickets.

India will be coming into the Asia Cup 2024 after winning the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup defeating South Africa by seven runs in the final at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados.

They remained unbeaten throughout the tournament thereby becoming the first-ever team to claim the title without losing a game. It was their second T20 World Cup crown having already won the inaugural edition back in 2007.
