Highlights | India vs Sri Lanka, Asia Cup 2025: Opener Pathum Nissanka’s splendid century went in vain as India edged past Sri Lanka in a Super Over finish during their dead-rubber Super 4 clash of the Asia Cup on Friday. In the Super Over, left-arm quick Arshdeep Singh struck twice to limit Sri Lanka to a mere two runs. India captain Suryakumar Yadav then sealed the result in style, knocking off the target with a boundary off the very first ball.
Earlier, after being asked to bat, India piled up 202 for five. Star player Abhishek Sharma continued his fine form with a brisk 31-ball 61 studded with eight fours and two sixes. Tilak Varma (49 off 34), Sanju Samson (39 off 23), and Axar Patel (21 off 15) chipped in with valuable cameos.
Chasing 203, Sri Lanka were powered by Nissanka’s classy 107 off 58 deliveries, while Kusal Perera added a fluent 58 from 32 balls. Despite their efforts, Sri Lanka could only match India’s 202, pushing the contest into a dramatic Super Over that went India’s way.

ℹ️MATCH UPDATE
Sri Lanka vs India Live Score | Sri Lanka will bat first in this Super Over, and we can see Kusal Perera padded up in the dugout. And it seems like Dasun Shanaka will walk to bat with him. The Indians have already taken the field again. Arshdeep Singh will bowl those crucial 6 balls for India. Here we go...
MATCH UPDATE
Sri Lanka vs India Live Score | Still call it a dead rubber, aye? The Asia Cup has come alive right before the Finale. After 240 balls, we do not have a clear winner here. Sri Lanka bossed up almost 90 percent of the innings with the bat, but a few minor slip-ups on the way, nothing separates the teams. THIS WILL BE THE FIRST SUPER OVER OF ASIA CUP 2025! For the first time in this competition, the Indian bowling unit was put under pressure as they kept leaking runs in all phases. Hardik Pandya picked up the first wicket for India, but was off the field for the rest of the game due to a possible injury. Pathum Nissanka's maiden T20I century dented the Indian bowling unit badly and decent hand from Kusal Perera also compounded their struggles. But it was that little patch in the middle overs when the Indian spinners took a few wickets as Sri Lanka slipped from 134/1 to 163/4.
2 RunsOver 19.6Sri Lanka 202/5
Sri Lanka vs India Live Score | Harshit Rana to Dasun Shanaka : WE ARE IN FOR A SUPER OVER! Harshit Rana bowls this on a hard length, on middle, Dasun Shanaka gets hurried but manages to force it down to long on, where Axar Patel charges onto the ball but fails to pick up cleanly. However, Shanaka is only worried about getting the second run, he puts in a dive at the other end. Patel recovers and throws it at the bowler's end, where Harshit Rana also does not grab it on the first attempt, but no harm done. SRI LANKA ALSO ENDS ON 202/5!

Sri Lanka vs India Live Score | DRINKS BREAK. Sri Lanka have saved their best for the last. They have outplayed the Indians with the bat so far. At the same stage, India were 100/3 and Sri Lanka are 114/1. After bossing up the Powerplay, the bigger challenge for them was to deal with the in-form Indian spin attack. But they came out with flying colors against the spin trio. They have kept attacking on anything loose thrown at them and as a result, the pressure has shifted on the Indians. They are in a desperate search for wickets now as with 9 wickets in hand, this, right now, looks like an easily doable job for Sri Lanka. 89 needed off the last 10 overs. Here's Harshit Rana into the attack after the break. He replaces Kuldeep Yadav.
