India Clinches Asia Cup Super Over Win Over Sri Lanka Ahead Pakistan Final

India secured a thrilling victory over Sri Lanka in a high-stakes Asia Cup 2025 Super Fours match, extending their unbeaten streak and advancing to the final against Pakistan. Sri Lanka, despite being eliminated, impressed with opener Pathum Nissanka's maiden T20I century, who anchored a powerful partnership with Kusal Perera that matched India's total of 202/5, pushing the game into a Super Over. India's Arshdeep Singh was the key figure in the Super Over, bowling tight yorkers and dismissing Sri Lanka for just two runs, while India chased down the target with one ball to spare. The match featured dramatic moments including a controversial umpiring decision during the Super Over, where a caught behind appeal was overturned due to a rule about the ball being dead after a dismissal. India's batting saw solid contributions from Abhishek Sharma with a crucial half-century, while concerns lingered over fitness issues for Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma. The contest highlighted India's squad depth and resilience, setting the stage for an epic Asia Cup final clash with arch-rivals Pakistan.
