The Asia Cup 2023 has witnessed three matches so far, and the super four qualifiers are becoming clear. Pakistan has played both of their group stage matches and secured three points, making them the first team to reach the super four. On the other hand, India and Sri Lanka have a relatively straightforward path. The battle for the fourth spot is between Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Here, we provide information about the Asia Cup 2023 points table and the super four scenario.
In the first group, Pakistan recorded a significant victory against Nepal, earning two points. However, their second match against India couldn't be completed, resulting in both teams sharing one point each. With three points, Pakistan has already secured their place in the super four. India has one point and can easily make it to the super four by defeating Nepal, as Nepal's team is relatively weaker. Thus, Nepal's journey is expected to end in the group stage.
Group A Points Table:
- Pakistan: 2 matches, 1 win, 0 losses, 1 no-result, 3 points, run rate +4.760.
- India: 1 match, 0 wins, 0 losses, 1 no-result, 1 point, run rate 0.000.
- Nepal: 1 match, 0 wins, 1 loss, 0 no-result, 0 points, run rate -4.760.
From Group A, Pakistan and India are almost certain to make it to the super four. Meanwhile, in Group B, Sri Lanka has a straightforward path to the super four. They won their first match against Bangladesh and can easily qualify by winning against Afghanistan or if rain intervenes. On the other hand, Bangladesh's fate relies on their match against Afghanistan. Bangladesh has lost one match and must win against Afghanistan to have any chance of progressing. Afghanistan has two matches remaining and will aim to secure a spot in the super four.
Group B Points Table:
- Sri Lanka: 1 match, 1 win, 0 losses, 0 no-result, 2 points, run rate +0.951.
- Afghanistan: 0 matches, 0 wins, 0 losses, 0 no-result, 0 points, run rate 0.000.
- Bangladesh: 1 match, 0 wins, 1 loss, 0 no-result, 0 points, run rate -0.951.
In summary, Pakistan has already advanced to the super four, while India and Sri Lanka have a clear path to join them. The battle for the fourth spot in the super four is between Afghanistan and Bangladesh, depending on their remaining matches.
