Asia Cup 2025: India’s innings end, post a record-high target of 202 runs against Sri Lanka in the Super 4 stage

Strong half-centurial knock by Abhishek Sharma, along with significant contributions from Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson were the stepping stones for India to post a record-high score of the Asia Cup 2025.

Sent into bat, India rode on in-form opener Abhishek Sharma’s flamboyant fifty to guide India to 202 for five in an inconsequential Super 4s match of the Asia Cup here on Friday.

Sanju Samson (39 off 23) and Axar Patel (21 not out off 15 balls) played a good hand towards the end to help India cross the 200-mark.
