India have dominated the tournament so far, winning all their group-stage matches before defeating Pakistan and Bangladesh in the Super Fours. However, one major concern has been India’s fielding performance—the team has dropped 12 catches, more than even Hong Kong’s 11, making this match an opportunity to iron out flaws.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, are already out of the competition but will aim to finish their campaign on a high by challenging the No.1 ranked T20I side.

Pitch and Weather Report
The Dubai pitch has traditionally been low-scoring, with teams preferring to chase under lights. The highest score so far at this venue in Asia Cup 2025 was India’s 174 against Pakistan. Weather will be hot and humid at 35–40°C with 58% humidity, but rain is not expected.
Team News
India could rotate players, giving opportunities to bowlers like Arshdeep Singh. Sri Lanka, playing their last match, are likely to field their strongest XI.
With the Asia Cup final against Pakistan just days away, this clash is far from a dead rubber for India it’s a dress rehearsal for their shot at a record ninth Asia Cup title.
