The Asia Cup 2025 is reaching its boiling point as Sri Lanka face Pakistan in a crucial Super Four clash at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.
Both teams are under pressure, having lost their first Super Four games, and another defeat could almost end their hopes of reaching the final.
Sri Lanka, led by Charith Asalanka, have shown sparks of brilliance throughout the tournament. Openers Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis are among the top run-getters, giving them a strong start. However, the middle order has struggled to convert those starts into match-winning totals. The bowling unit, with Wanindu Hasaranga and Nuwan Thushara, will be expected to deliver early breakthroughs against Pakistanβs power hitters.
Pakistan, on the other hand, remain unpredictable. Against India, their batting impressed with partnerships up top, but the bowling, usually their strength, looked toothless. Skipper Salman Agha will bank on strike bowlers Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf to step up in this must-win contest.
