Group Stage Nears End: India Only Team to Secure Super Four Spot
Super Four race heats up as Pakistan, UAE, and Afghanistan fight for final spots
The Asia Cup 2025 group stage is reaching an exciting climax, with India being the only team to qualify so far for the Super Four. With two dominant wins, India comfortably tops Group A and awaits its next opponents in the next round.
Pakistan and UAE are tied on points and will face each other on Wednesday in a crucial virtual knockout game. The winner will advance to join India in the Super Four from Group A. Oman, having lost both matches, is already eliminated.
Group B Scenario: Sri Lanka in Control, But All Eyes on Final Game
Sri Lanka currently leads Group B with two wins from two games and a solid Net Run Rate (NRR). Bangladesh also has four points but has completed all its group matches and has a weaker NRR.
The final Group B game — Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan — is set to decide the fate of the remaining two Super Four slots.
-
If Sri Lanka wins, both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh go through.
-
If Afghanistan wins, all three teams (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka) will be tied on 4 points — and Net Run Rate will determine the qualifiers.
Hong Kong, winless after three matches, and Oman are both officially out of contention.
