Sri Lanka and Bangladesh renew their rivalry as the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup 2025 kicks off in Dubai.
Sri Lanka (SL) and Bangladesh (BAN) will begin the Super Four phase of the Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday, September 20, at 8 pm IST. Sri Lanka enters this contest after a commanding six-wicket win over Bangladesh earlier in the tournament, chasing down the target in 28 overs, with 32 balls to spare.

The Tigers will want to get off to a good start in the Super Four stage and will want to try and avenge their earlier loss to the Lankans.
