Abhishek Sharma\u2019s bright start was carried forward by Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma, who kept the tempo high after a quick cameo from Suryakumar Yadav. The total looked more than enough when Hardik Pandya struck early, removing Kusal Mendis in the very first over of Sri Lanka\u2019s chase.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"754\" data-end=\"1175\">But what followed was nothing short of breathtaking. Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Perera turned the match on its head with a blistering 127-run stand off just 70 deliveries. Perera fell for 58, but Nissanka powered on to a magnificent 52-ball hundred, eventually scoring 107 off 58. India\u2019s bowlers, led by Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav in the middle overs, clawed their way back to push the game into a Super Over.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1177\" data-end=\"1409\">From there, India\u2019s experience came through. Arshdeep Singh, trusted with the ball, held his nerve yet again to seal a straightforward win in the one-over shootout, stretching India\u2019s unbeaten run in the tournament to six matches.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1411\" data-end=\"1682\">\u201cIt felt like a final,\u201d joked India skipper Suryakumar Yadav after the tense finish. \u201cThe boys showed a lot of character. We just wanted to stay clear in our plans and fearless in execution. Credit to Arshdeep\u2014he has been in this situation before and delivered for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1684\" data-end=\"2024\">Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka, though disappointed, was upbeat about his side\u2019s fight. \u201cIt was a fabulous game. We were handling it nicely until Varun and Kuldeep bowled those crucial overs. Nissanka and Perera batted unbelievably well. There are a lot of positives for us despite not finishing the last two games on the right note.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2026\" data-end=\"2300\">The result ensures India march into the final with momentum, but also with a reminder that they can be pushed to the brink. For Sri Lanka, despite the heartbreak, the night belonged to Nissanka\u2019s stunning hundred\u2014an innings that lit up Dubai and gave India a proper scare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dubai: What was billed as a dead Super 4 rubber turned into one of the most gripping contests of the Asia Cup 2025, as Sri Lanka pushed India all the way before falling short in a Super Over finish.
