Super Over Heroics: Arshdeep Singh the Star

In the Super Over, India’s Arshdeep Singh delivered a brilliant performance, dismissing both Kusal Perera and Dasun Shanaka and conceding just 2 runs. Kamindu Mendis remained unbeaten with 1 run, but India successfully defended the total, giving the visitors a dramatic victory.

India’s absolutely menacing batting performance!

Both Defending champions India and Sri Lanka clashed in a fiery battle against each other in the very last Super 4 match for the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 on September 26. The highly anticipated match between two of the most successful teams to take part in the Asia Cup tournament saw the Indian team sculpt a memorable 202/5 at the end of 20 overs.

Despite losing Vice-Captain, Shubman Gill, early, the Indian team did not let that dismissal rock their boat. Apart from Gill and Pandya almost all batters contributed very positively to India’s score towards the end of the game, particularly Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson, Axar Patel and Suryakumar Yadav.

From Sri Lanka’s end, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushyant Chameera and Charith Asalanka bowled some respectable overs, where they got their teams some early and important wickets of some of India’s biggest hitters.
