Asia Cup 2025 Ind vs Sl Match: Asia Cup 2025 went to India vs Sri Lanka match super over. At first it seemed that this match would be quite boring, but the super over made it exciting. Let us know three scandals of India vs Sri Lanka match.
First scandal: Akshar Patel’s catch and six drama
Actually, Varun Chakraborty was bowling for Team India. Sri Lankan batsman Pathum Nisanka was on strike in front. Nisanka played a loud shot off Chakraborty’s ball. The ball went straight towards long-on. Akshar Patel was already present there. The catch looked easy, but the catch was missed. Now the ball went beyond the boundary line and everyone felt that it was a six. But instead of pointing the sixes, the umpire gave the signal of ‘dead-ball’. Everyone was surprised to see this decision. Team India also could not believe what happened. But under that rule, the umpire gave a dead ball to the six -side ball that until an injured player goes out, the player cannot come in as a replacement. Because of this, this decision was also different.
Second scandal: Dasun Shanaka’s out not out
Arshdeep Singh was bowling for India. Arshdeep bowled the fourth ball of the over, on which the scandal took place. This ball of Arshdeep went directly to Sanju Samson behind the wicket. Dasun Shanaka ran to take the run. Then wicketkeeper Sanju Samson scattered the gills by throwing brilliant throw. Indian fielders appealed to the umpire to catch out to Shanaka. After this, the umpire gave Shanaka out. Shanaka then took DRS and challenged the decision of the catch out. The replay showed that the bat and the ball were not contacted. Because of this, the decision of his catch out was overturned. Because the appeal was about the catch out, Sanju Samson’s throw did not get a wicket.
Third and largest scandal: Super over thrill
The biggest scandal between India and Sri Lanka matches was a super over. Yes, before the match, everyone felt that this is a useless match. There will be no fun. Both such teams are fulfilling the quorum of Super Four. But in the last over of the match, the game overturned.

The match went into the super over, where Arshdeep Singh won the match to India with his bowling.
