Bangkok: India have defeated Sri Lanka by five wickets at the Terdthai Cricket Ground in Bangkok to qualify for the Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 final. The Radha Yadav-led side produced an all-rounder show and it should give them plenty of confidence ahead of the summit clash, which they will play either against Pakistan or Bangladesh.

Pakistan players likely to be ignored after several IPL franchises invest in The Hundred
