IND vs SL Live Score: Catch the updates and highlights from the Asia Cup 2025 Super Fours encounter between India and Sri Lanka at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.
Welcome to the live coverage of the Asia Cup 2025 Super Fours encounter between India and Sri Lanka at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.
The Men in Blue enter the encounter undefeated in the tournament so far, and have sealed a spot in the final against Pakistan on Sunday. The shuffled batting order had a tough day at the office against Bangladesh, and this dead rubber allows the team another attempt at giving all batters a chance to find some rhythm in the middle.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, went from looking like the second strongest outfit in the tournament to becoming the first team to be eliminated from the Super Fours stage. A crumbling middle order stands between it and finishing the tournament on a high note.
