That's a wrap for today's coverage of the match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The Super Four is up and running, and we've been treated to a great game to start off. Next up? India vs Pakistan. 

Join us on Super Sunday, as we bring you all the live updates from cricket's greatest rivalry. Until then, goodnight!

Sri Lanka had bursts of momentum throughout the match, but couldn't keep it for a long period. Be it after a good start with bat or ball, Bangladesh kept coming back into the contest. They suffer their first defeat of the Asia Cup. Unfortunately for SL, it's in the Super Four.

Ahead of this match, Bangladesh had won only 1 of their previous 14 matches. They've buried the demons today and delivered a great showing with both bat and ball. One more win, and they'd be in the driving seat to reach the final!

Bangladesh have done it! A gentle tap to the off-side by Nasum, and they scramble the last single. Throw at the striker's end, but it misses the stumps. A nail-biting win for Bangladesh in the end, but they chase down 169 with a ball to spare!

BAN 169/6 (19.5)

Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka by 4 wickets.

Another wicket goes down for Bangladesh! What is happening in Dubai? Are we going to see a choke from Bangladesh? Mahedi Hasan edges a short ball by Shanaka and departs for zero. Bangladesh still need 1 run off 2 balls!

BAN 168/4 (19.4)

More drama! Jaker Ali draws Bangladesh level with Sri Lanka's score with a boundary on the first ball of the last over, but then loses his wicket on the next ball! Tension in both camps. 

BAN 168/4 (19.2)

Jaker Ali slams a boundary on the first ball! Full toss again and it is slammed away for 4 by the new batter. Bangladesh now one hit away from victory! 5 runs needed off the final over, is there more drama to come?

BAN 164/4 (19)

Is there a twist in the tale? Towhid Hridoy misses out on a full toss, it hits him on the pads, and he's out LBW. Takes the DRS, but hawkeye shows that it's clearly out. Hridoy is absolutely livid with himself.

Bangladesh need 10 off 9!

BAN 159/4 (18.3)

Brilliantly-placed by Shamim Hossain! Two fielders in the deep, but Shamim's shot is right in the gap. 150 up for Bangladesh, and victory is really close now! And Shamim brings the equation down to run-a-ball with a superb slap through the off-side for 4 more!

BAN 157/3 (18)

Wanindu Hasaranga ends his spell with figures of 2/22 in 4 overs. Excellent spell by the leg-spinner, who has comfortably been Sri Lanka's best bowler today. Bangladesh need 24 runs in the final 3 overs, to win.

BAN 145/3 (17)

31-ball half-century for Towhid Hridoy! An exceptional knock, where he's switched gears at just the right time. He has brought Bangladesh very close to victory, but surely has to stay till the end to guide them home.

BAN 137/3 (16.1)

Timed away delicately for another boundary! Cut away for 4, right between two fielders in the circle. Hridoy is up to 49. Bangladesh need 33 runs to win in the final 4 overs. Required run-rate - 8.25. Intense.

BAN 136/3 (16)

4, 6, 4! First boundary smashed through extra cover. The second, a maximum over mid-wicket. And then another cut shot square of the wicket for 4. Part-timer Kamindu Mendis concedes 16 runs in the over, and the match has tilted towards Bangladesh!

Hridoy on 44 now. Bangladesh need 39 off 30.

BAN 130/3 (15)

Huge wicket! Wanindu Hasaranga strikes once again, and he is completely pumped! Punches in the air repeatedly in ecstasy. Saif Hassan goes for a big shot, mistimes it, and it goes to Dunith Wellalage at short third-man.

BAN 114/3 (14)

Great shot! Towhid Hridoy properly getting into the act now. Gives himself room, sets himself up, and smashes it through the covers for 4. 50-run partnership comes up between Saif and Hridoy. 

BAN 114/2 (13.5)

Massive six! Towid Hridoy goes down on one knee and bludgeons it over mid-wicket for a humongous maximum. Bangladesh are getting a boundary every over here, and not letting the required rate get too high. 100 up as well!

BAN 107/2 (13)

Short delivery but no pace from Shanaka and given the treatment by Saif Hassan. Good timing, and it clears the fielder at short fine-leg to go for 4. The set batter still keeping Bangladesh's momentum going.

BAN 93/2 (11.2)

Second T20I half-century for Saif! 36 balls to get to the milestone, and a crucial one in the context of Bangladesh's run chase. 4 sixes in that knock. The required rate, however, is climbing, at the moment.

Moments later, Saif Hassan gets angry at teammate Towhid Hridoy for declining a second run!

BAN 88/2 (11)

End of the 10th over in the Bangladesh innings, and they're slightly below the required rate at the moment. Crucial for Bangladesh to play out the likes of Hasaranga smartly. Saif Hassan on 49, and needs to play a good knock from here.

Another wicket would firmly put SL in the driver's seat.

BAN 82/2 (10)

Saif Hassan is just 5 runs away from his half-century, having smashed four sixes, but the brakes on the Bangladesh innings is being put by Hasaranga at the moment. Two top-class overs so far. 1/6 in his 2 overs.

BAN 75/2 (9) 

Wanindu Hasaranga works his magic! The wrist-spinner strikes with just his third ball, and it is the Bangladesh captain. Litton goes for an aggressive slog sweep, finds the fielder at deep square-leg. Crucial wicket.

BAN 60/2 (6.3)

Litton Das enters the party! Steps out and whacks Chameera for 4 over mid-off. Litton has taken his time to settle into the crease, but now slams another boundary. He ends the over with another cracking shot through extra cover. This has been a superb recovery by Bangladesh after the loss of an early wicket.

BAN 59/1 (6)

Third maximum for Saif Hassan! Incredible use of the wrists, over deep mid-wicket for 6. What a shot. Full, on the pads, and flicked away. Saif is playing a fine hand here, countering Thushara after the first over. 14 off the over!

BAN 48/1 (5)

Saif continues the charge! What a shot that is! Litton comes down the track and smashes Dunith Wellalage for a maximum, straight! Saif Hassan with his second maximum, as he tries to increase the momentum.

BAN 34/1 (4)

Saif Hassan going big against Thushara! First, an excellent shot down the ground for 4, and then, smashed over mid-on for a maximum. Much-needed intent shown by Saif. Crucial runs for Bangladesh as they try to recover from the early jolt.

BAN 20/1 (2.2)

First boundary for Bangladesh! Litton Das cuts it well, past the point region. No better stage to perform than this for Litton Das. 8 off Dushmantha Chameera's first over, but Sri Lanka still on top as of now.

BAN 10/1 (2)

Bowled! What a start for Sri Lanka! Nuwan Thushara dismisses Tanzid Hasan Tamim! Slower delivery, straight, Tanzid comes down to hit it, but misses and it strikes the stumps. Worst-possible start for Bangladesh, as their half-centurion from the previous game departs for 0.

BAN 1/1 (0.5)

Nuwan Thushara opening the bowling for Sri Lanka, as Bangladesh's run chase begins. Saif Hassan and Tanzid Hasan Tamim opening the batting. The duo stitched a 50-run partnership in the previous game, and will hope to repeat the same today.

BAN 1/0 (0.3)

Skipper Litton Das expressed confusion regarding the pitch when electing to bowl. He would've been happy at one point, with Bangladesh choking Sri Lanka in the middle overs. But Dasun Shanaka's herculean effort has meant that Litton and co. will have a tough chase on their hands.

With those three wickets, Mustafizur Rahman climbs up to 149 T20I wickets, levelling the legendary Shakib Al Hasan as Bangladesh's all-time highest T20I wicket-taker. He's done it in 11 less matches than Shakib too.

Maximum to end it! Taskin was bowling an incredible final over, but it's spoilt in the end with a 6 by Shanaka, who ends on 64* off just 37 balls. Terrific knock from the 34-year-old all-rounder - 6 sixes and 3 fours in his innings. 

SL 168/7 (20 overs)

BAN Target: 169

One more for Bangladesh! A good attempt by Hasaranga to try and slam a 6, but he finds the fielder at long-off. Mustafizur ends with three wickets - figures of 3/20 in 4 overs. Classy stuff from the Fizz.

SL 158/7 (19)

Two quick wickets! Top edge from Kamindu Mendis, the ball goes very high up in the air but Bangladesh captain and wicket-keeper Litton Das takes a good catch. 2 wickets in 4 balls, and more importantly, Shanaka kept off strike.

SL 156/6 (18.4)

Asalanka departs! Bangladesh miss a chance of a catch in the deep, but the throw is excellent. Asalanka scrambling to complete the second run but falls inches short of his crease. Crucial wicket for Bangladesh.

SL 154/5 (18.1)

50 for Dasun Shanaka! Two sixes in a row to get there! Spectacular hitting from the veteran all-rounder. First one thumped over cover, the next bludgeoned over long-on. He has, almost single-handedly, rescued the Sri Lankan innings. Just 30 balls to get to it.

SL 153/4 (18)

Charith Asalanka gets a lifeline! Low, wide full toss by Shoriful, Asalanka doesn't get the best timing, but Towhid Hridoy at deep extra cover fails to hold on to it, despite a diving. The ball slips through his fingers. 

SL 139/4 (17.3)

Just 6 runs off the 17th over. Great display of skill and variety by left-arm pacer Mustafizur. Much-needed break in the momentum from a Bangladesh point of view. 3 overs remain, Sri Lanka will be hoping for 170-ish from here.

SL 135/4 (17)

The tide is turning! Charith Asalanka seems to be out to bat with his powerhitting gloves on! Smashes a maximum over long-on against Taskin Ahmed. Next ball, smartly timed through fine-leg for a boundary. 

4, 6, dot, 6, 6, 4! That's how Sri Lanka's last six balls look.

SL 125/4 (15.2)

Huge over! Dasun Shanaka to the party! A boundary and then two sixes, as Sri Lanka cross 100. Shanaka using the sweep to incredible effect, as Nasum gets his line and length wrong. Is this the start of the Sri Lankan comeback?

SL 115/4 (15)

Mustafizur gets Kusal Perera! He won't have to regret that missed opportunity from the previous over anymore. Slower again from Mustafizur, Perera goes for the cut, but a thick edge and it's taken by Litton Das. Perera takes the DRS, but UltraEdge confirms that the ball did kiss the bat on its way to the keeper.

SL 97/4 (13.4)

Boundary for Kusal Perera! His first one! Slower ball from Mustafizur Rahman but it is whipped away to the square-leg region for 4. Past the fielder in the deep, and into the fence. How much will Mustafizur regret not going for the catch?

SL 97/3 (13.3)

A poorly-timed pull by Kusal Perera, but Mustafizur Rahman at deep fine-leg does not even make an attempt to go for the catch! Cry of agony from Shoriful, who feels that could've been a chance of a wicket.

92/3 (13)

SIX! What a shot! Dasun Shanaka breaks the shackles as Shoriful Islam comes back to bowl. Clears mid-wicket, spectacular hit by the veteran all-rounder. Sri Lanka need a few more of those to get their innings back on track.

SL 89/3 (12.2)

Once at more than 9 runs per over, Sri Lanka's run-rate is now under 7. An exceptional effort  by spinners Mahedi and Nasum. Mahedi completes his quota, with figures of 2/25 in 4 overs. Two big wickets too - Mendis and Mishara.

Sri Lanka got off to an excellent start, but Bangladesh have bounced back in the last few overs. In particular, spinners Nasum Ahmed and Mahedi Hasan have impressed in the middle overs. Onus on Shanaka and Perera to get SL out of trouble.

SL 72/3 (10)

BOWLED! Mahedi Hasan scalps his second wicket in as many overs! Kamil Mishara goes for the reverse sweep against the spinner, completely misses it, and the ball smashes onto the stumps. Bangladesh now on the front foot!

SL 65/3 (9.1)

With both openers gone, onus now on Kamil Mishara and Kusal Perera to resurrect the Sri Lankan innings. Mishara, in particular, needs to get a move on, playing on 5 off 10. Mishara started similarly slowly against Bangladesh in their previous game, but ended up scoring big.

SL 65/2 (9)

Big wicket for Bangladesh! Kusal Mendis departs, and once again, a pumped-up celebration! Mahedi Hasan picks up a big wicket in his second over, and Kusal Mendis has to walk back for 34. Went for a slog sweep, but found the fielder at deep square-leg.

SL 58/2 (7.4)

What a hit! That's a big one, off the blade of Kusal Mendis. Third six for Mendis, against the spinner Mahedi Hasan. Comes down the track, clears long-on, all the way for 6. Shot of authority from the opener. 

Mahedi comes back well, and keeps the scoring rate down for the rest of the over.

SL 53/1 (6)

Nissanka departs! Big wicket for Bangladesh! Taskin Ahmed is absolutely pumped, as he picks up a wicket on the final ball of his over. Nissanka looking to go big once again, but doesn't get the timing this time. Straight to Saif Hassan, who was running in from deep mid-wicket.

SL 44/1 (5)

Pathum Nissanka continues the damage! First ball of the fifth over, first ball for Taskin, and flicked over deep square-leg for 6. First maximum of the game for Nissanka, and both batters are off to a flying start here.

SL 42/0 (4.1)

Massive shot! Another maximum for Kusal Mendis! Steps out against left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed, and clears long-off to pick up his second 6 of the contest. Sri Lanka flying at 9 runs per over here!

SL 36/0 (4)

Pathum Nissanka on a roll here! In the mood now. Smashes a short-pitched delivery through mid-wicket and then driven down the group for another boundary. Final delivery of the over is fuller, and Nissanka slams it over mid-off, one bounce and into the fence for 4.

SL 28/0 (3)

Kusal Mendis gets lucky! The Sri Lankan opener goes for a big hit towards the on-side, but the ball gets a top edge and goes straight up on the off-side. Fortunately for Mendis, it lands safely. Crucial moment in the early stages.

SL 14/0 (2.1)

All Sri Lankan players are wearing black armbands today, in honour and memory of Dunith Wellalage's father, who passed away just two days ago. A tragedy hitting the Sri Lankan camp amidst the Asia Cup.

What a hit! Maximum in the first over of the innings, whipped over deep mid-wicket by Kusal Mendis. Kusal smashed an unbeaten 74 to carry SL to victory against Afghanistan, and he's started off on a positive note today.

SL 8/0 (1)

We are LIVE in Dubai! Shoriful Islam taking the new ball for Bangladesh, Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis opening the batting. Nissanka gets off the mark with a flick on the first ball. Who will dominate the powerplay?

SL 1/0 (0.1)

The players of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are out on the pitch. Everyone first observes a minute's silence for Dunith Wellalage's father, Suranga. Then, we have the national anthems. Bangladesh, and then Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka XI vs BAN: Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (wk), Kamil Mishara, Kusal Perera, Charith Asalanka (c), Dasun Shanaka, Kamindu Mendis, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dunith Wellalage, Dushmantha Chameera, Nuwan Thushara.

Same team for Sri Lanka. Dunith Wellalage stays in the XI after losing his father just three days ago.

Bangladesh XI vs SL: Saif Hassan, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Litton Das (c/wk), Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Jaker Ali, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman.

2 changes for Bangladesh: Out go Nurul Hasan and Rishad Hossain, in come Mahedi and Shoriful.

Bangladesh have won the toss and opted to bowl! Litton Das states that he himself is "confused" regarding the pitch, and as a result, he has chosen to bowl. Sri Lanka captain Charith Asalanka also says that he would've liked to bowl.

We're getting closer to toss time for the match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. It is the first match in the Super Four, and a crucial one for both sides if they are to qualify for the final. Let's see what the toss-winning captain decides to do.

It was Bangladesh's left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed who changed their fortunes in their final Group B match against Afghanistan. Nasum bowled three incredible overs with the new ball, including a wicket maiden, as Bangladesh won the crucial game.

Sri Lankan spinner Dunith Wellalage received heartbreaking news following their match against Afghanistan, learning that his father had passed away due to a heart attack mid-match. It remains to be seen whether he will feature today. We send our condolences to Wellalage and his close ones.

Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, who qualified from Group B, will also face off against India and Pakistan, who qualified from Group A, in the Asia Cup Super Four stage. It will happen in a round-robin format, with the top two in the Super Four qualifying for the final.

After their big defeat to Sri Lanka, many would've expected Bangladesh to get eliminated in the group stage itself. However, Litton Das and co. managed to beat Afghanistan, and have now earned themselves a spot in the Super Four.

Sri Lanka went through a pretty much flawless group stage. Led by Charith Asalanka, several Sri Lanka stars stepped up as they won every single match, beating Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Hong Kong with relative ease.

Their biggest test though, starts now. 

Bangladesh were thoroughly beaten by Sri Lanka in their Group B meeting in the Asia Cup. Sri Lanka chased down a target of 140 in just 14.4 overs. That was comfortably Bangladesh's worst performance in the tournament, and they'll be desperate for revenge today.

In 2018, during a match between the two nations, Bangladesh bowler Nazmul Islam had celebrated a wicket by doing a 'Naagin' (snake) dance. However, after Sri Lanka won the match, the entire team responded by copying the same dance.
Since then, both teams have often dished out the 'Naagin' dance to each other, also increasing the intensity of the rivalry in the process.

Hello and welcome to NDTV Sports to the live coverage of the Asia Cup 2025 Super Four. We kick off with a match between two nations whose rivalry has grown a lot in recent years. It's Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh!
