The HinduOpener Shubman Gill said a victory in the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka on Sunday is important because it will give the team a lot of momentum ahead of the World Cup beginning next month. Winning here will give us a lot of momentum and confidence going into the World Cup.” India had lost their Super Four match against Bangladesh by six runs on Friday night, but Gill said they have not lost any momentum ahead of the summit clash. Hopefully, we can execute these lessons in the final and in the World Cup.” Gill said Sri Lanka have been playing good cricket, and India needed to be at their best to beat them in the final.
