Asia Cup Final live stream 2023: How to watch India vs Sri Lanka online

After Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat, they have been bowled out for 50 in 15.2 overs, with Mohammed Siraj taking 6-21. Read on and we'll show you how to watch India's innings in an India vs Sri Lanka live stream from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for FREE.

This was not the final that the wider cricketing world perhaps wanted. That was India vs Pakistan. The world will have to wait a little longer. Or maybe a lot longer: in 16 editions of the competition there has yet to be one.

Contrastingly, India vs Sri Lanka used to be the regular final. The 1st edition of the Asia Cup was decided purely on a round robin basis (and ended with India and Sri Lanka as the top two) and India did not compete in the second edition having fallen out with hosts Sri Lanka. But from the third to the 10th Asia Cups the only time the final was not India against Sri Lanka was the seventh when Sri Lanka took on Pakistan instead. However, this will be the first India and Sri Lanka final since that edition in 2010.

In their previous clashes, India have won four to Sri Lanka’s three. Overall, India have won seven Asia Cups to Sri Lanka’s six. Sri Lanka are the defending Asia Cup winners. They won in 2022 when the competition was held as a T20 one. The last time the competition was a 50-over version, in 2018, the winners were India.

Here's everything you need to know to see India v Sri Lanka live streams from anywhere and watch Asia Cup Final 2023 wherever you are in the world.
