The India vs. Sri Lanka rivalry is one of the most underrated ones in cricket history. Both nations have always given each other a run for their money whenever they meet on the cricket field. This rivalry has a special place in Asia Cup history because these two countries have met in the final of this tournament on multiple occasions.

India and Sri Lanka have been regular participants in the Asia Cup since the inaugural edition. India has been the most successful team with seven championship wins, while Sri Lanka is second on the list with six. Further, India and Sri Lanka are so far the only teams to win both the ODI as well as T20 version of the Asia Cup. The two teams are grouped in separate groups in Asia Cup 2023. Hence, to ensure an India vs. Sri Lanka head-to-head in Asia Cup 2023, both teams will have to finish top two in their groups and punch their tickets to the Super Four.
