Asia Cup 2025: Nissanka’s century goes in vain as India beat Sri Lanka in super over
In the last Super Four round match of the Asia Cup 2025, Sri Lanka and India entertained their fans with a suspenseful yet spectacular show – indubitably the most memorable one of this tournament before the final, which resulted in India winning the match in a super over.
Despite levelling the gigantic target of 203 runs in twenty overs, Sri Lankan batters failed to bring off any boundary in the super over – scoring just two and losing two wickets to Arshdeep Singh, who bowled extremely well.
India effortlessly concluded the match, continuing their winning streak throughout the tournament
Chasing the target of 203 runs, Sri Lankan batters bat responsibly. Pathum Nissanka hit a century – the first by any player in the Asia Cup 2025, smashing six disastrous sixes and seven elegant fours.
Kusal Perera also made 58 runs for Sri Lanka, assisting Nissanka in crucial times.
They fell short of just a single run, as their batters could only run for two on the last ball, which required three runs to win.
Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka won the toss and opted to field first, inviting India to post a target on the board.
Abhishek Sharma played a tremendous knock of 61 runs for India, followed by the 49 and 30 runs by Tilak Verma and Sanju Samson, respectively.
India posted 202 runs on the scoreboard in the allotted overs.
Pakistan and India will face each other in the tournament’s final on September 28.
