Sri Lanka Face Bangladesh in Asia Cup Super Four Opener

"The battle for early control could shape the entire Super Four journey."

The Asia Cup Super Four stage begins with Sri Lanka taking on Bangladesh at the Dubai International Stadium on September 20, 2025, with play starting at 6:30 PM local time.

Sri Lanka advanced to the Super Fours as the top team in their group after winning all three of their matches, showing strong form with both bat and ball. Bangladesh finished second in the same group, securing two wins, and will be eager to prove themselves against the defending champions.

Sri Lanka will look to the consistency of Kusal Mendis and Pathum Nissanka at the top, along with the spin threat of Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana. Bangladesh’s hopes rest on captain Litton Das, the batting of Towhid Hridoy, and the pace attack led by Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed.

Every game in this stage is crucial, as only the top two teams from the Super Four will move on to the final. With both sides bringing momentum and quality players, this clash promises to set the tone for the rest of the tournament.
