Following a loss to India in the initial Super Four match of the Asia Cup 2025, Pakistan recovered by defeating Sri Lanka. This win has moved them up to the second position in the points table. However, their chances of advancing are still not guaranteed, since they are the only team that has played two matches, while other teams have one game left. Pakistan’s bowlers, including Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Hussain Talat, performed well, limiting Sri Lanka to 133/8. Kamindu Mendis was the sole Sri Lankan batsman to shine, with a half-century. India remains unbeaten in the tournament, having previously beaten Pakistan twice, and currently tops the standings. Upcoming matches include India vs. Bangladesh and India vs. Sri Lanka, both in Dubai.
