It was a batting feast at Dubai International Cricket Stadium as Charith Asalanka-led Sri Lanka delivered a brilliant batting performance and finished with the same score as India to force the last Asia Cup Super Fours game into a super-over on Friday night.

Chasing 203 runs for victory, Sri Lanka finished on 202/5, resulting in a tie with India. Kusal Perera and Dasun Shanaka came out to play the Super Over, but Arshdeep Singh took a wicket off the first and sixth deliveries as Sri Lanka could only score two runs, handing India a final target of three runs.

Skipper Suryakumar Yadav and his deputy Shubman Gill walked out for the chase, with the former facing the first ball. One delivery was all he required to finish the game, as the two ran three runs off it and clinched a magnificent win.

Earlier, Sri Lankan bowlers conceded plenty of runs as India set a target of 203. Nonetheless, the Indian bowlers couldn't contain the opposition batters, with Kusal Perera and Pathum Nissanka dominating with the bat.

Although India began their defending efforts positively, with Hardik Pandya dismissing Kusal Mendis for a golden duck, they were unable to stop the opposition's top-order, which took control and eventually won the game.
