After Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat, they were bowled out for 50 in 15.2 overs, with Mohammed Siraj taking 6-21. Here's how to watch India vs Sri Lanka live stream from anywhere with a VPN and for free.

This was perhaps not the final the wider cricket world had hoped for. It was India vs Pakistan. The world will have to wait a little longer; in 16 editions of the tournament, there has yet to be a final.

In contrast, India versus Sri Lanka used to be a regular in the finals. The first edition of the Asia Cup was played on a purely round-robin basis (ending with India and Sri Lanka as the top two finishers), and in the second edition, India did not compete after falling out with the host country, Sri Lanka. However, the only Asia Cup from the 3rd to the 10th Asia Cup where the final was not India vs. Sri Lanka was the 7th, when Sri Lanka played Pakistan. However, this will be the first time since the same tournament in 2010 that India and Sri Lanka will play in the final.

So far, India has won four matches and Sri Lanka three. Overall, India has won seven Asian Cup matches while Sri Lanka has won six. Sri Lanka is the defending winner of the Asia Cup. They won in 2022 when the tournament was held as a T20. India was the winner in 2018, the last time the tournament was held in the 50-over edition.
