Asia Cup 2025 Points Table:
The Asia Cup 2025 is moving forward with exciting matches and changing points table positions. On September 13, Sri Lanka faced Bangladesh at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. This was Sri Lanka’s first match in the tournament, and they opened their account with a strong win.
Bangladesh, who had already defeated Hong Kong earlier, came into this match with confidence. But Sri Lanka’s bowlers made sure the game went in their favor. Nuwan Thushara and Dushmantha Chameera delivered brilliant fast bowling spells, restricting Bangladesh to just 139 runs.
Chasing the target, Sri Lanka played with confidence. Opener Pathum Nissanka smashed the fastest half-century of the tournament so far. With his powerful shots, Sri Lanka reached the target in only 15 overs and won by 6 wickets. This gave them 2 important points in Group B.
Current Group B Standings
After this result, Group B has become very interesting. Out of the 4 teams, 3 have now opened their accounts. Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka each have 2 points. However, the difference in their Net Run Rate (NRR) decides their positions.
Afghanistan is at the top with an excellent NRR of 4.700.
Sri Lanka is in second place with an NRR of 2.595.
Bangladesh slipped to third with -0.650 NRR.
Hong Kong has not yet opened its account.
This shows that every upcoming match will bring big changes in the table.
Next Challenge for Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka will play their next game against Hong Kong on September 15. With 2 points already in hand, they will aim to improve their NRR further and possibly move to the top of the group. If Hong Kong manages an upset, the group could take a surprising turn.
The Asia Cup 2025 is already proving to be thrilling, and cricket fans are eagerly waiting to see which teams will make it to the knockout stage.
