Asia Cup 2025: India and Pakistan Qualify for Super 4.
India and Pakistan have advanced to the ACC Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 round.
With a strong Net Run Rate (NRR) and a decisive victory in its opening two games, the former was always guaranteed to win. In their must-win match against the United Arab Emirates yesterday, September 17, 2025, Pakistan defeated the hosts and earned qualification.
The fierce rivals will now play each other again in the competition after meeting earlier in the Asia Cup on September 14.
Asia Cup 2025: IND vs PAK again on September 21.
India, the reigning Asia Cup champions, will now face Pakistan once more in the Super 4s. The game is scheduled for this Sunday, September 21, 2025, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, where they played their previous match.
It is important to remember that the Men in Blue still have a match against Oman in Group A. That game will take place at Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium on September 19. However, the outcome of that match would not have any bearing on the qualification situation because they already had four points and a solid NRR.
Apart from each other, both India and Pakistan will also have to play against the two qualifying teams from Group B in the Super 4 round.
Asia Cup Group B qualification scenario.
Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka are vying to qualify from Group B. Even though BAN has four points from their three games thus far, their negative NRR raises serious concerns.
Afghanistan will qualify if they defeat Sri Lanka in their upcoming encounter, which is scheduled for later today in Abu Dhabi. After that, NRR will be what separates BAN from SL. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka advance to the ACC Asia Cup Super 4 if AFG loses.
