Dubai, September 26, 2025 – India will lock horns with Sri Lanka in their final Super Four clash of the Asia Cup 2025, a game that comes just before their much-anticipated final against Pakistan on Sunday, September 28.
While both India and Pakistan have already secured their spots in the grand finale, this match still holds importance for Rohit Sharma’s men. It is a chance to fine-tune combinations, test player form, and maintain the winning rhythm that has made India the standout side of the tournament so far.
India’s batting has looked formidable throughout the Asia Cup. Abhishek Sharma has provided explosive starts, Shubman Gill has anchored innings with consistency, while the middle order featuring Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube has offered both stability and power. The bowling attack has been equally impressive, with Kuldeep Yadav’s spin, Varun Chakaravarthy’s mystery deliveries, and Jasprit Bumrah’s pace adding balance, complemented by Arshdeep Singh’s accuracy in the death overs.
Sri Lanka, in contrast, have struggled to make an impact in the Super Four stage. Their batting has faltered under pressure, and outside of Wanindu Hasaranga’s brilliance, the bowling has lacked penetration. For Sri Lanka, pride is on the line, with players like Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, and Dasun Shanaka needing to step up, while bowlers such as Nuwan Thushara and Dushmantha Chameera must show greater control.
Even though the result will not alter the standings, Sri Lanka will aim to end on a positive note, while India will look to deliver a dominant performance to head confidently into the high-stakes final against arch-rivals Pakistan.
