Asian Games: Kishan pushes India to 169/7 in semifinal against Sri Lanka

Ishan Kishan anchored India with an unbeaten 80 runs from 46 deliveries during the second men's cricket semifinal clash against Sri Lanka at the Asian Games in Japan. Alongside a quick 38 off 21 balls from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Kishan helped lift the total to 169 for seven after the team won the toss and opted to use a spin-heavy lineup on a turning pitch.

Sri Lanka heavily favored slow bowling during the contest, limiting pace to just two overs. Despite contributions from players like Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson before their dismissals, Kishan launched several straight sixes against the opposing spinners to secure the competitive target.
