IND vs SL Thriller: India Edge Sri Lanka in Super Over After Nissanka’s Century | Asia Cup 2025 The final Super 4s match of the Asia Cup 2025 turned out to be a heart-stopping encounter between India and Sri Lanka (IND vs SL).

India Sets Record Total in Asia Cup 2025 Clash India posted the highest total of the tournament — 202/5 — thanks to another explosive start from Abhishek Sharma, who continued his golden run with a 22-ball 50, eventually scoring 61.
