The India vs Sri Lanka match in the Super Fours of Asia Cup 2025 is a key encounter held on September 26 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. This is the 18th match of the Super Fours stage, and although India has already secured a final spot, Sri Lanka seeks to end their campaign on a high note after missing out on the finals.
India enters this match with a strong and balanced side, blending experienced players like Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Hardik Pandya, and Jasprit Bumrah with promising talent such as Abhishek Sharma and Varun Chakaravarthy. India’s spins have been particularly effective and could prove crucial on Dubai’s pitch, which tends to assist spinners and favors batsmen chasing targets.
Sri Lanka faces a tough challenge as they look to bounce back from previous Super Fours losses. Their lineup features key players like Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka (captain), and Wanindu Hasaranga, but inconsistencies in the middle order have hampered their progress in the tournament. They will rely on their experienced all-rounders and bowlers to contain India’s batting strength.
The pitch at Dubai Stadium is expected to be batting-friendly with opportunities for spinners. Both teams will aim to fine-tune their strategies; India with an eye on the upcoming final, and Sri Lanka aiming to restore pride. India holds a strong head-to-head advantage over Sri Lanka, having won most recent encounters between the two sides.
