Having secured their place in the 2025 Asia Cup final, India take on Sri Lanka in their last Super Four match on Friday.

India vs. Sri Lanka Asia Cup match predicted XIs, team news
Even though it's a dead rubber, India are unlikely to tinker too much with the playing XI.
While Indian batters have done exceptionally well so far, captain Suryakumar Yadav's form in the only worry going into the business end of the tournament
India predicted XI: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson (wk), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah, Shivam Dube.
The Lions made two changes to their lineup against Pakistan, bringing in Chamika Karunaratne and Maheesh Theekshana and they are likely to retain their spot in Friday's clash.
Sri Lanka may go with their same bowling attack, considering one of their key pacers, Matheesha Pathirana, still hasn't recovered from his illness. The duo of Wanindu Hasaranga and Theekshana will comprise the spin attack.
Sri Lanka predicted XI: Pathum Nissanka, Chamika Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis (wk), Charith Asalanka (c), Kusal Parera, Dasun Shanaka, Kamindu Mendis, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Nuwan Thushara, Dushmantha Chameera.
