The Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 stage will witness a high-stakes encounter between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Both teams are desperate for a win, as defeats in their opening Super 4 matches have put them under pressure. India and Bangladesh are at the top with two points each, meaning Sri Lanka and Pakistan must win to keep their hopes of reaching the final alive. This match is essentially a do-or-die situation for both sides, with the losing team facing near elimination.
Sri Lanka, the defending champions, had a perfect run in the group stage but suffered a setback with a four-wicket loss to Bangladesh in their Super 4 opener. Pakistan is struggling, with their weaknesses highlighted by a six-wicket defeat against India on Sunday. The two teams will meet at Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Stadium in a bid to secure their first Super 4 victory.
