The final Super Fours encounter of the Asia Cup 2025 sees India lock horns with Sri Lanka at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday, September 26. The high-octane clash will get underway at 8:00 PM IST.

India

India have looked unstoppable so far. Suryakumar Yadav’s men have stayed unbeaten, crushing opponents with a mix of fearless batting and ruthless bowling. In their last game, they thumped Bangladesh by 41 runs with Abhishek Sharma blazing away yet again and Kuldeep Yadav spinning a web around the batters.

With a final already confirmed, this clash is more about keeping the momentum rolling and fine-tuning ahead of the title showdown. Expect a few rotations, but don’t expect a dip in intensity.

Sri Lanka

It’s been a disappointing run for Charith Asalanka and his men. After a shock defeat to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka lost their must-win clash against Pakistan by 5 wickets, confirming their exit.

Batters haven’t clicked as a unit and bowlers have struggled to contain opposition line-ups. Still, with players like Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis and Wanindu Hasaranga, the Lankans will want to bow out on a high.

IND vs SL head-to-head overview

India and Sri Lanka have faced off in 32 T20Is. India hold a strong edge with 21 wins, while Sri Lanka have managed 9 victories. Two matches have ended inconclusively: one tie and one no result.

Dubai International Stadium pitch report

The Dubai International Stadium pitch offers early swing with the new ball but becomes better for batting as the match goes on. Pacers need to rely on slower deliveries and cutters once the shine wears off. Spinners usually thrive in the middle overs with grip on offer. With a sluggish outfield, batters must cash in during the powerplay. Toss-winning captains usually prefer to chase under lights.
