Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Highlights, Asia Cup 2025: BAN start off Super 4s with strong win, end SL's winning run
- Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Highlights, Asia Cup 2025: SL vs BAN Super 4 Match: A terrific batting performance and well-constructed chase sees Bangladesh to an opening win in the Super 4s! Sri Lanka's winning start comes to an end. Mustafizur, Saif, and Hridoy the heroes for the Tigers.
Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Highlights, Asia Cup 2025: SL vs BAN Super 4 Match: Sri Lanka have won all three of their matches in this Asia Cup, and are on a strong 4-match winning streak. However, Bangladesh will want revenge for their loss to the Lankans earlier this tournament, and have had recent success against the Lankans in the T20I format....Read More
The group stage of Asia Cup 2025 is through, and there is no rest as the next phase of this tournament begins fast on its heels. The slate is wiped clean, the four frontrunners for the tournament advance for a round-robin battle of their own – and this is where things really well and truly start to get interesting. It is a repeat of the matchups we had last weekend, with India and Pakistan facing off in the Sunday marquee – but before we can get there lies a very appetising teaser-trailer, a curtain-raiser for this segment of this tournament, as red-hot Sri Lanka try to keep their strong form going against a spirited Bangladesh unit in this rematch.
Sri Lanka were playing like the second best team in the tournament through a tricky group stage phase, with their top order batting and their bowling in particular clicking in sensational style and to great effect. The middle order was a concern heading into their last match vs Afghanistan with elimination at stake, but the likes of Charith Asalanka and Kamindu Mendis played the sort of quick cameo innings that are crucial in this format of the game. With Pathum Nissanka in good touch, Kusal Mendis finding runs, Wanindu Hasaranga looking in top form with the ball, and Nuwan Thushara enjoying a breakout tournament with his exciting slinging action, there is plenty to like about this Sri Lankan team.
Down the other end are Bangladesh, once upon a time fierce rivals of these very Lankans, in an era where any contest between the pair was filled with hostility and aggression. Bangladesh are trying to turn a new leaf in T20I cricket, trying to catch up with the times and the demands that this tournament presents. Their mantra is now to go hard at the top with new-look openers, while their pace attack has come along a fair way and has plenty of weapons to try and make an impact. They did lose to Sri Lanka earlier in the tournament, in fairly confident fashion, and will be aching to find their revenge and stake a claim for themselves as a true contender in this tournament.
Both teams travel to Dubai, which has been slow, low, and spin-friendly to the extreme. Sri Lanka have the big names like Hasaranga when it comes to taking advantage of that, but what Bangladesh have going for them is plenty of experience on surfaces that are exactly like the one Dubai has offered. Can they use that to their advantage? Their spinners will need to be on point against a Sri Lankan batting group which has been sensational so far this tournament, particularly against spin-bowlers, and show themselves to be capable of producing threat without leaking runs through the middle overs.
Plenty rides on this result: the winner will set themselves up with a good chance of progressing to the final early on, confident that they can take on Pakistan even if India might provide a tougher time. Sri Lanka in particular look to be in supreme form, and are favourites going into this one. Can Bangladesh stop them in their tracks in Dubai, or will the Lankan train keep rolling on?

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, SL vs BAN Super 4: BANGLADESH HAVE DONE IT! What an impressive victory to play spoilsport
Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, SL vs BAN Super 4: Wow, always just a touch of drama! Nasum guides it right to a tight short third, and Shamim is already off trying to complete the single. The throw gets him if it hits the stumps, but it doesn't — and Bangladesh have done it!
Tenser than it should have been right at the end, but what a result for Bangladesh! They weren't the favourites going into it, but they bowled well in the important phases, and have paced this chase in a terrific fashion. They have been good value for this win.
Sri Lanka's streak of wins comes to an end. They will have to put this down as a bad day, and address what went wrong. But now their backs against the wall if they wish to get to the finals.

This time, the fielder gets up quickly, sees Asalanka dawdling returning for the second, and hoses him down with a great throw. Full length dive, but it's not enough. He was looking dangerous too.

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, SL vs BAN Super 4: Nuwan Thushara is another one of those Sri Lankan up-and-comers with that Malinga-esque slinging action, capable of deadly yorkers and of generating late swing, but also capable of a devilish slower ball. He burst through the top orders of both Bangladesh and Afghanistan earlier in this tournament: if he can keep that run of form going, he will be almost unplayable, even with limited help on offer for pace.

Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, SL vs BAN Super 4: Key player will be Wanindu Hasaranga
Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh Live Score, Asia Cup 2025, SL vs BAN Super 4: Hasaranga has been absolutely sensational in this tournament so far, really givving the ball good revs, turning it both ways, mixing in his variations, but always hitting a good length and prpesenting a threat without allowing himself to be hit. He will hit the right area again and again in his spell, challenging both edges, and the stumps as well. How Bangladesh cope with spin of this calibre could decide the game on a pitch where he will have plenty of purchase.

In response, Sri Lanka hardly broke a sweat, taking only 14.4 overs to chase down the target. It was domination from the off, and a win that will give Sri Lanka plenty of confidence that they are the superior team at the moment.
