In Super 4 match No. 15 of Asia's Cup 2025, Pakistan (PAK) will take on Sri Lanka (SL) at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi, on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, at 8:00 PM IST time. Pakistan will be searching for some kind of redemption after losing to arch-rivals, India, in their opening Super 4 match, whilst Sri Lanka will be looking to come back from a four-wicket defeat against Bangladesh after failing to defend 169 runs. Both teams will be under pressure, and thus this is a very important match.
