SL vs BAN Match Prediction, Super Four, Match 1

Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will kickstart the Super Four stage of Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday, September 20. The Lankans emerged victorious by six wickets and 32 deliveries to spare against Bangladesh earlier in the tournament.

The Lankans will be keen on keeping the winning streak alive. Their win against Bangladesh was their biggest win of the group-stage. The other matches against Hong Kong and Afghanistan also came while chasing, but with significantly fewer balls to spare.

Meanwhile, the Tigers finished second in Group B by winning two out of the three matches in the league phase. Their loss to Sri Lanka was flanked by wins against Hong Kong and Afghanistan, respectively. The Litton Das-led unit will hope to get their Super Four stage to a good start.
