Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by five wickets in Abu Dhabi after restricting them to 133/8, with tight spells from Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf and Abrar Ahmed and a noted on-field celebration duel with Wanindu Hasaranga; Kamindu Mendis’s fifty was Sri Lanka’s lone resistance. The win has left the Asia Cup 2025 Super Four a three-way contest between India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, but India has already secured a place in the final. The second finalist will be the winner of Pakistan vs Bangladesh in Dubai, which will determine who joins India in the Sept. 28 final. India, Pakistan and Bangladesh sit level on two points, making net run rate and the remaining matches decisive. Bangladesh pacer Taskin reached the 100 T20I-wicket milestone during the Super Four phase. Cloudy conditions and a high rain chance in Dubai could influence the Pakistan–Bangladesh decider, making every run and wicket crucial.
