Asia Cup 2025: Bangladesh and Sri Lanka Set for Crucial Group Stage Match

The Asia Cup 2025 continues with a highly anticipated match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, September 13, at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. This Group B encounter is critical for both teams. Bangladesh enters the match after a comfortable victory in their opening game, where they successfully chased down a target set by Hong Kong, led by Litton Das. Despite the win, the team needs to address concerns in the bowling department. Sri Lanka, the 2022 Asia Cup T20 champions, will be looking to improve their performance after a recent series win over Zimbabwe. Sri Lanka’s strong spin attack, including Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, and Dunith Wellalage, will be key, and Matheesha Pathirana could be an important factor. The match will begin at 8:00 PM IST, with the toss at 7:30 PM IST. It will be televised on the Sony Sports Network and streamed on Sony Liv and OTTplay. With advancement to the next round on the line, a win for Bangladesh would be significant, while Sri Lanka will be looking to demonstrate their prowess as a top T20 team in Asia.
