Team India are facing Sri Lanka in the last Super 4 match of Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The match has been reduced to a dead rubber since the Men in Blue have already qualified for the final in Dubai, where they will meet Pakistan on Sunday, September 28. As for Sri Lanka, they have been knocked out and would be playing for pride.
Suryakumar Yadav-led Team India are unbeaten 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 in Dubai and then defeated Bangladesh by 41 runs at the same venue. India will be keen to continue the winning momentum.
While the Men in Blue are unbeaten in Asia Cup 2025, they need to show significant improvement in a couple of areas. Their catching has been very poor in the last two games. With the bat, skipper Suryakumar has struggled, while Shubman Gill has failed to convert starts. Team India also did not have a strong finish with the bat against Bangladesh.
