MATCH PREVIEW     

We are in the 6th and final Super Four game of the Asia Cup 2025. India will face Sri Lanka in this game. The Indian team, which has been demolishing opponents, will look to win and enter the final with momentum. The Indians defeated Bangladesh in the last game comprehensively and have made it to the final. They have won all their games in the tournament and shall start this game with higher odds. The Sri Lankans are out of contention for the final after their loss against Pakistan. It will be interesting to see if the Sri Lankans can cause a major upset in this game and end the tournament with something to cheer about.  

India Preview      

Suryakumar Yadav’s team has been clinical in the tournament. The side has won all its games and defeated Bangladesh by 41 runs in the last game. While a few questions were raised about India’s batting in the last game, the bowling attack delivered a strong punch. They are favorites on cricket betting sites, and Yadav would like a big win to add to their confidence ahead of the big final.  

Abhishek Sharma is in sensational form with 248 runs to his name. He will look to deliver a strong start in this game with Shubman Gill. Suryakumar Yadav must steer the innings in the middle order and build partnerships with Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson. They have a formidable lower middle order and expect quick runs from Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, and Axar Patel.      
 
The Indian bowlers did well in the last game. They need early wickets from Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah to put the Sri Lankans under pressure. Kuldeep Yadav has picked up 12 wickets and will look to deliver tight overs in the middle with Varun Chakravarthy. Axar Patel and Shivam Dube add variety to this attack, and the team expects them to deliver a strong performance.  

Expected Starting XI for India     

Suryakumar Yadav (c), Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson (wk), Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarthy 

Sri Lanka Preview     

Charith Asalanka and his team will be disappointed with their performance in the Super Fours. They had topped the league stage, winning all their games, but have run out of steam. They lost the last game by 5 wickets against the Pakistanis and can’t reach the final. The side has lost the last four games against India and shall start behind on cricket betting apps. Asalanka would like his players to deliver the goods and go home with a win.  

Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka are key batters in this lineup, and they must deliver a strong start. They have experience in the middle order and need partnerships between Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka, and Kamindu Mendis. Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Chamika Karunaratne are good hitters, and the team expects them to deliver a strong show in this contest.  

Nuwan Thushara went for runs in the last game, and he must strike early, along with Dushmantha Chameera, as the Indian openers have been in brilliant form. Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana are the key bowlers in this squad and must deliver strong performances. Asalanka and Chamika Karunaratne must bowl tight lines as the Indians will go after them.  

Expected Starting XI for Sri Lanka     

Charith Asalanka (c), Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Kusal Perera, Dasun Shanaka, Kamindu Mendis, Chamika Karunaratne, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Dushmantha Chameera, Nuwan Thushara 

TOSS: To Bowl First      

It is an excellent venue to chase totals. In the last 16 games, the side batting first has defended the score successfully only five times at this venue. Toss is crucial at this venue as dew plays a role. The team winning the toss would look to bowl first in this game.  

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

We expect good weather conditions in Dubai on September 26. The wicket will play well, allowing the ball to come to the bat nicely, making it easy for batsmen to play their strokes. Fast bowlers will have a tough time on this wicket, and the side that bats first must have 180 runs on the board to feel safe on this wicket.  

OUR PREDICTION      

The Sri Lankans have struggled with the bat in the last two games, and the Indian bowlers will test them on this wicket. The team needs a strong show from the top order and the new ball attack to have a chance in this game. The Indians have outperformed the competition in this tournament. They have a strong opening combination and a quality spin attack. Based on the current form in the two camps, we expect the Indians to start as favorites.  

Our prediction is for India to win
