Asia Cup 2023: preview

The final is set, with India set to take on reigning champions Sri Lanka on Sunday, but before that we have the small matter of a clash between the Men in Blue and Bangladesh at R. Premadasa Stadium on Friday, in the final game of the Super Four stage.

The Tigers have had a rotten time of things of late, going winless since the Group Stage and losing numerous starters. While this match is a dead-rubber, racking up a fourth defeat from five games won't do the team's confidence much good ahead of the World Cup, which is why the potential return of Litton Das is generating so much optimism.

For India, meanwhile, the match gives Rohit Sharma an opportunity to test the fitness of Shreyas Iyer, who had to withdraw from the Pakistan clash with back spasms. If he does get a run-out, Ishan Kishan or KL Rahul would be the likeliest candidates to get a day off.

Sri Lanka progressed from the group stage by the skin of their teeth – three runs, to be precise – and edged Pakistan in controversial circumstances, yet on Sunday they'll be in with a shot of retaining the trophy.

Read on as we explain how to watch an Asia Cup live stream online from wherever you are, including for FREE.

How to watch Asia Cup from outside your country
