Asia Cup 2025 top run-getters and wicket-takers after IND vs SL (Updated) ft. Kuldeep Yadav, Abhishek Sharma 

Team India continued their unbeaten run in the Asia Cup 2025 after a thrilling win over Sri Lanka in the Super 4 stage at the Dubai International Stadium on Friday, September 26. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side were handed a massive scare and could only get the better of the opposition after a super over.

Being put into bat first, India were handed an early blow after Maheesh Theekshana's sharp return catch to dismiss Shubman Gill. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav's woeful run continued, but Abhishek Sharma came to the team's aid by continuing his rich vein of form.

The left-handed batter perished after recording his third consecutive fifty, leading to the middle-order pair of Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson putting on a clinic to make the most of the platform. Team India finished off in style to cross the 200-run mark, and post the highest first-innings total in the Asia Cup 2025.

India's bowling attack struggled without Jasprit Bumrah as they conceded 72 runs in the power play. The pair of Patthum Nissanka and Kusal Perera took the bowling attack and dominated the middle overs completely. Sri Lanka raced to 114-1 at the halfway mark, with both batters recording their respective fifties.

Sri Lanka lost momentum during the run chase after India fought back with some quick wickets, but a brilliant hundred by Pathum Nissanka kept them firmly in the hunt. The innings resulted in a chaotic end as the scores were level after 40 overs in the match.

India made easy work in the super over after restricting the opposition to just two runs, before going on to comfortably chase it down to wrap up the match.
