Abhishek Sharma Shines, Indian Batting Holds Strong
Abhishek Sharma was the standout performer with a blistering 61 off 31 balls, hitting 8 fours and 2 sixes at a strike rate of 196.77. Tilak Varma (49) and Sanju Samson (39) provided crucial support with aggressive innings, while Axar Patel’s quickfire 21 helped India post a competitive total. Captain Suryakumar Yadav contributed 12 runs before falling to Wanindu Hasaranga.
India’s bowlers kept the pressure alive despite Sri Lanka’s explosive batting. Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana, and Kuldeep Yadav picked up key wickets to restrict the hosts. The match eventually went into a Super Over after Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka (107) and Kusal Perera (58) produced remarkable efforts to tie the score.
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.

IND vs SL Live Score: Bowler to watch
Wanindu Hasaranga has gone for less than a run a ball through this tournament, and will relish bowling against a top line-up on a slow Dubai track. Especially outside the powerplay.
One change India will not want to make is to rest Abhishek Sharma and halt the almighty momentum he has on his side. Sharma currently presents himself as the leading run-scorer in the tournament with 248 runs from 5 matches.
