Asia Cup 2025 India vs Sri Lanka Match Preview: The last time India played Sri Lanka in international cricket, the Lankans defended their home ground strongly and won the ODI series. This time, the two teams meet in a dead-rubber Asia Cup 2025 game. Tonight’s clash is also a dead-end as Sri Lanka has already been eliminated, while India remains unbeaten and has already secured a place in the final. Still, with India experimenting with their batting order, fans are eager to see how the game unfolds. Let’s find out if the weather and pitch are going to make any difference to the game.
India vs Sri Lanka Asia Cup 2025: Check Weather and Pitch report
The match in Dubai on Friday is expected to be completely dry. The temperature is likely to reach a high of 38°C and a low of 30°C, according to a report by the Cricket Addictor.
The report further adds that the pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is expected to be good for batting. It usually offers some help to bowlers in the early overs, just like in the other Asia Cup matches so far.
IND vs SL: Bowling Outlook
Fast bowlers can try to use any swing or pace available with the new ball at the start of the innings. If there is no swing, they will need to rely on cutters and slower balls. Spinners can look for any turn in the pitch during the middle overs but will need to be careful if dew makes it harder to grip the ball in the second innings.
IND vs SL: Batting Outlook
Batsmen will need to judge the pace and bounce of the pitch before attempting their shots. At this venue, this approach has worked well in the Asia Cup 2025 so far. Teams that bat carefully can easily score 100-110 runs in the last ten overs.
