India and Sri Lanka are set to square off in the sixth Super Four fixture of the Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday, September 26. The contest, however, carries no stakes, with India already assured of a place in the final and Sri Lanka out of the reckoning.
Suryakumar Yadav's men booked their ticket to the title clash after a commanding 41-run victory over Bangladesh, their second successive win in the Super Fours. Abhishek Sharma's explosive 75 from 37 deliveries, backed by clinical spells from Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy, and Axar Patel, kept India's unbeaten streak alive and boosted their net run rate.
For Sri Lanka, the campaign has been one of heartbreak, falling short in tight matches against both
Pakistan and Bangladesh to finish with no points from two games.
The Dubai surface has continued to favour batting during this tournament, particularly in the powerplay and death overs, although runs have been harder to come by in the middle phase. Chasing sides have generally enjoyed an edge at this venue. Bowlers lacking consistency have often been punished, a pattern likely to continue in this encounter. For India, the match provides a chance to tweak combinations before the all-important final, while Sri Lanka will look to end their journey on a positive note.
