Asia Cup 2025 Final Qualification Scenario: India, Pakistan Set For a Blockbuster Final

The Asia Cup 2025 officially started on September 9 in the UAE. This time, the tournament is being played in the T20 format with 8 teams participating in it. The Asia Cup Super 4 stage is currently being played, with all India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh aiming for a place in the final. Among all these teams, India has become the first team to make it to the summit clash.

Earlier in Group A, India, Pakistan, the UAE, and Oman were placed. India, playing under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, one of the most dangerous batsmen in the world, qualified for the Super 4 stage as the most favorite team to win the title. Meanwhile, Pakistan entered this tournament without two of their star players, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, and became the second team from Group A to qualify.

In Group B, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan were fighting for two places along with the other two associate nations. All these teams count among the best cricket teams in the world, but only two of them could move to the next stage. Sri Lanka is also the defending champions of the T20 Asia Cup and qualified for the Super 4 stage with three wins. Afghanistan was knocked out of the tournament after the loss to Sri Lanka on September 18.

The Asia Cup 2025 final qualification scenario was getting interesting with each match, where initially, every match was a deciding one for who would get a spot in the final match. However, the final spots are officially sealed by India and Pakistan for yet another blockbuster clash.

Top Teams in Points Table

The group stage of the Asia Cup is over, and all the teams are facing each other in the Super 4 now. In the Super 4 Table, India is again at the top of the table, followed by Pakistan, which bounced back in the Super 4 match against Sri Lanka. India confirmed its place in the final by defeating Bangladesh and also knocked out Sri Lanka in the process. In the Asia Cup 2025 Final Qualification Scenario, Pakistan and Bangladesh fought hard for the final spot, which was taken by Pakistan by defeating Bangladesh in a thrilling Super 4 match, which was a virtual semi-final match.

Points Needed To Reach Asia Cup 2025 Final

The Asia Cup qualification scenario works differently in every edition, depending on the format. In 2025, the tournament is being played in the T20 format with two groups of four teams each. Mostly, if a team wins 2 matches in the Super 4s stage (which means 4 points), they have a strong chance to make it to the Asia Cup Final.

But sometimes, teams have also qualified with only 1 win (2 points), which only happens when net run rate (NRR) becomes very important. So, there is no fixed number of points to qualify for the Asia Cup Final in 2025. It fully depends on how the Super 4s matches go, how teams perform on the day, and the results.

Road To Asia Cup 2025 Final

The group stage of the Asia Cup 2025 is followed by the Super 4s, which will directly decide the finalists of the Asia Cup 2025. The Super 4s stage is currently underway, and four matches have been completed. After the fourth match of the Super 4s, India has confirmed their place in the final, while Pakistan and Bangladesh will be fighting for the remaining slot.

Sri Lanka suffered a disappointing defeat at the hands of Bangladesh and Pakistan, despite showing dominance in the group stage. After India confirmed its place in the final, the Pakistan vs Bangladesh match became highly critical. It was a do-or-die game for both these teams, and was played with high intensity. Pakistan won the match by showing their intent in the game and sealed the final spot for the epic clash against India on September 28, 2025.

Asia Cup 2025 Points Table

A total of seventeen matches have been played in the Asia Cup 2025 so far.

Earlier, India became the first team to qualify for the Super 4s, and was joined by Pakistan from Group A. The other two teams are Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, who were qualified for the Super 4s.

Later, India became the first team to qualify for the final as well. Pakistan has also joined India for the final match of the Asia Cup 2025.

Group A Points Table

Group B Points Table

As per the rules, a win gives 2 points, a no result or tie gives 1 point, and a loss means 0 points. Net Run Rate (NRR) will be very important when two or more teams finish with the same points. It is the reason why every run and the margin of win will count in the Asia Cup 2025 Final Qualification Scenario.
