India edged past Sri Lanka in a dramatic Super Over to win their Asia Cup 2025 Super Four encounter in Dubai on Friday night.
Both sides finished tied at 202 at the end of their 20 overs, forcing the game into a Super Over for the second successive time between the two teams. Sri Lanka, however, endured a repeat of their previous heartbreak, being bowled out for just two runs in the Super Over. India chased down the modest target with ease to seal victory.
Pathum Nissanka was the star for Sri Lanka, registering his maiden T20 international century with a brilliant knock that kept his side alive in a high-scoring contest. His innings gave Sri Lanka a strong platform, but the middle order faltered in the final overs, leaving the scores level. (Newswire)
