India have qualified for the Super Four stage in the 2025 Asia Cup, thanks to Oman’s 42-run defeat to the United Arab Emirates in the UAE on Monday and a resultant exit from the tournament.
The Men in Blue got to four points after their seven-wicket triumph over Pakistan on Sunday. UAE’s win took them to two points, the same as Pakistan, while Oman have no points after two matches.
Two matches remain in Group A. The first will be played between the UAE and Pakistan on Wednesday, September 7. It’ll be a knockout game, with the winner reaching four points to proceed to the Super Four round. The second will be between India and Oman on Friday, which will be a dead rubber.
As neither of UAE nor Pakistan can go past India’s four points, the worst Suryakumar Yadav can finish is second. Had Oman beaten the UAE, it would have left all three teams except India with two points, still leaving the door ajar for two teams to reach four points and challenge India on net run-rate.
India will also be joined by the best two teams from Group B (which comprises Afghanistan, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh). These four sides will then play one match each with the other three, and the best two on points will then make it to the final, scheduled for Sunday, September 28.
