India Win Super Over Thriller to Reach First IndiaPakistan Asia Cup Final

The victory sets up Sunday's title game against Pakistan, the first Asia Cup final between the rivals.

Overview

  • Both sides finished on 202, Arshdeep Singh conceded only two runs and took two wickets in the Super Over, and India clinched the chase off the first ball.
  • During the Super Over, Dasun Shanaka was initially given caught behind, which made the ball dead, so a subsequent direct-hit run-out was void once UltraEdge overturned the catch.
  • On-field umpire Gazi Sohel’s out signal triggered the dead-ball call, a process match officials and analysts highlighted when clarifying the decision.
  • Pathum Nissanka struck 107 off 58 balls and received Player of the Match honors as Sri Lanka forced the tie.
  • India remained unbeaten through the Super Four, while fitness checks are planned for Hardik Pandya and Abhishek Sharma after cramp issues, according to bowling coach Morne Morkel.
