Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will kickstart the Super Four stage of Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday, September 20. The Lankans emerged victorious by six wickets and 32 deliveries to spare against Bangladesh earlier in the tournament.

The Lankans will be keen on keeping the winning streak alive. Their win against Bangladesh was their biggest win of the group-stage. The other matches against Hong Kong and Afghanistan also came while chasing, but with significantly fewer balls to spare.

Meanwhile, the Tigers finished second in Group B by winning two out of the three matches in the league phase. Their loss to Sri Lanka was flanked by wins against Hong Kong and Afghanistan, respectively. The Litton Das-led unit will hope to get their Super Four stage to a good start.

The team batting second is expected to hold an advantage due to dew. Making use of the powerplay phase will be crucial for batters to compensate for the middle overs during which spinners could slow down rhe proceedings.

Nissanka is the leading run-scorer of the Asia Cup so far. He has scored 124 runs in three innings at an impressive strike rate of 149.39. The top-order batter can be expected to play yet another match-defining innings to guide his team with the bat.

Although Hasaranga has only picked up three wickets in as many matches in the ongoing tournament, he has conceded at a rate of only 5.83. The experienced spin-bowling all-rounder can come good with the ball to help his side again.
