Asia Cup 2025: 3 Players to watch out for in India vs Sri Lanka, Super Fours, Match 6

India and Sri Lanka will clash in the final Super Fours match of the Asia Cup 2025 tournament. This match will be played on September 26, 2025, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.

India won all three of their Group A matches, defeating Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Pakistan, and they continued their winning ways into the Super Fours of the Asia Cup 2025 competition. India may wish to rest their first-choice players and try their hand at the bench before the final.

Following defeats to Bangladesh and Pakistan, Sri Lanka was knocked out of the Asia Cup 2025 final race. They overcame Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Hong Kong to go undefeated in Group B. If they defeat India, they will have one more match to finish the Asia Cup 2025 competition on a strong note.

Here are the 3 players to watch out for in the India vs. Sri Lanka match:

1. Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek Sharma has scored 248 runs, leading the run-scoring charts in the Asia Cup. He has two fifties with a strike rate of 206.66 in five games so far. He has given flying starts to the Indian team against all opposition, helping them chase down the totals easily. They batted first against Bangladesh, and his 75 helped post 170 odd runs.

Sharma has taken on the best bowlers from the opposition and hit him out of the attack. He has struck his runs at over a 200 strike rate, meaning that he has taken full advantage of the powerplay overs. Abhishek has done damage to both pacers and spinners early on and has shown maturity to continue after the field restrictions spread out.

2. Kusal Mendis

Kusal Mendis made 122 runs with a strike rate of 124.48 and a best score of 74*. His brilliant knock of 74* came against Afghanistan in a tightly fought game that knocked the Rashid Khan-led side out of the Asia Cup tournament. Kusal Mendis’ form will be huge for Sri Lanka when they take on India.

If Jasprit Bumrah isn’t rested, then his battle with Mendis will be the one to look out for. Mendis’s technique is perfect for negotiating both spin bowlers and pacers. Fans would be keen for Mendis to score big, as Sri Lanka would want to end their Asia Cup on a high.

3. Shubman Gill

Shubman Gill has scored 111 runs with a best of 47 with a strike rate of 156.33. He was looking in killer form against Pakistan in Super Fours, hammering eight fours against both pace and spin to set up an easy win for the Indian team.

Shubman Gill is the vice-captain of the Indian T20I team, and he has led from the front. He has also cared for Abhishek Sharma, feeding him strikes when he is on song and taking a back seat. But Gill has managed to keep his strike rate at or near 150, despite holding one end up.
