India will take on Sri Lanka in their last Super 4 match of Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday, September 26. The game has been reduced to a dead rubber since the Men in Blue have already qualified for the final on September 28, while Sri Lanka have been knocked out.
After getting the better of Pakistan by six wickets in their opening Super 4 match, India beat Bangladesh by 41 runs to seal their place in the final. Opener Abhishek Sharma continued his golden run by hammering 75 off 37 balls. With the ball, left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav excelled yet again, claiming 3-18.
While Team India have been unbeaten in the tournament so far, there are still a few areas they need to work on. Their fielding, catching in particular in the last couple of matches, has been abysmal. The batting form of skipper Suryakumar Yadav is also a major concern heading into the final.
