Pakistan and Sri Lanka are set to clash in a crucial Super 4 match in the Asia Cup 2025. Both teams are seeking their first win, as defeats in their initial Super 4 matches have put them on the back foot. India and Bangladesh lead the standings with two points each, making this a must-win encounter for Sri Lanka and Pakistan to stay in contention for the final. The losing team will likely see their chances of reaching the final significantly reduced.
Defending champions Sri Lanka performed well in the group stage but stumbled in their first Super 4 match, losing to Bangladesh by four wickets. Pakistan is currently going through a tough period, their vulnerabilities exposed by a six-wicket defeat against India. This match will see both teams battling for a crucial win at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
The Super 4 match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka will be held on September 23, 2025. The match will begin at 8 PM Indian Standard Time, with the toss scheduled for 7:30 PM. Fans can watch the live broadcast on the Sony Sports Network and stream it live on the SonyLIV app and website. Both teams are expected to address their weaknesses and aim for victory. A loss will almost certainly extinguish the title hopes for the losing team.
