India will face Sri Lanka in the 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 the Lankans have been knocked out.
Team India have won all their five matches in Asia Cup 2025. They topped Group A, with three wins out of three. In their first Super 4 match, they got the better of Pakistan by six wickets and then thumped Bangladesh in 41 runs. Opener Abhishek Sharma and wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav have been the team's standout performers, while many of the others have chipped in.
India's fielding, however, has been poor in the last couple of a matches as they have dropped way too many catches. If we talk about individual performances, captain Suryakumar Yadav has struggled, while Shubman Gill has failed to convert starts. India will seek improvements in the dead rubber against Sri Lanka.
