Overview
- India and Sri Lanka finished on 202/5, forcing a Super Over in Dubai that India won after Arshdeep Singh conceded only two runs and took two wickets.
- Suryakumar Yadav sealed the chase in one ball after India were set three, preserving a perfect record heading into the title match.
- Pathum Nissanka’s 107, backed by Kusal Perera’s 58 and a 127-run stand, drove Sri Lanka’s reply before the game went to the tiebreaker.
- During the Super Over, Dasun Shanaka was initially given out caught behind; the decision made the ball dead, so a subsequent run-out could not be considered even though UltraEdge later overturned the caught call.
- India will face Pakistan in the Asia Cup final on September 28 in Dubai, with bowling coach Morne Morkel saying Hardik Pandya and Abhishek Sharma suffered cramps and will be assessed, noting Abhishek is fine and a call on Hardik is pending.
