PAK vs SL Super Four Match 3 Highlights of Asia Cup 2025

Abu Dhabi, September 23, 2025 – In a thrilling Super Fours encounter of the Asia Cup 2025, Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka by 5 wickets at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. The victory, achieved in 18 overs while chasing 134, strengthens Pakistan’s position in the tournament and delivers a major blow to Sri Lanka’s campaign. So let’s have a look at PAK vs SL Super Four Match 3 Highlights.

Sri Lanka Batting Struggles to Post 133/8

Sri Lanka, elected to bat first, struggled throughout their innings, managing only 133 for 8 in 20 overs. Kamindu Mendis was the standout performer with a crucial half-century, keeping Sri Lanka competitive. However, the rest of the batting lineup failed to build partnerships as Pakistan’s bowlers applied consistent pressure.

Pacers struck early with key breakthroughs, while spinners controlled the middle overs, restricting Sri Lanka’s scoring options. Despite Mendis’ effort, the team could only post a below-par total on a pitch that favored batsmen.

Pakistan’s Confident Chase

Chasing 134, Pakistan started strongly with their openers setting a solid foundation. Even after losing a few wickets in the middle overs, the experienced middle order stabilized the innings. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan showcased composure and precision, keeping the required run rate under control.

Pakistan reached 138 for 5 in 18 overs, sealing a comfortable 5-wicket victory with 12 balls to spare. Their balanced performance highlighted the depth of the squad, with both batting and bowling units firing at the right time.

Implications for Sri Lanka and Pakistan

For Sri Lanka, this defeat is a significant setback. Apart from Kamindu Mendis, no other batsman has stepped up consistently, exposing weaknesses in their lineup. With limited Super Fours matches remaining, Sri Lanka now faces an uphill battle to stay alive in the tournament.

Pakistan, on the other hand, looks in prime form heading into the final stages of the Asia Cup 2025. Their bowling attack has been dominant, and the batting lineup combines aggression with stability. If Pakistan maintains this momentum, they remain strong contenders for the championship.
