How India can qualify for Asia Cup finals?
Following their defeat on Tuesday, India have no direct route to make it to the finals. Rohit Sharma and Co will have to depend on other results to ensure their qualification and ensure that they register a huge win over Afghanistan in their final Super 4s clash.
A win for Pakistan in any of their remaining two games will see India crash out of the tournament irrespective of the result against Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka are on the verge of qualification following their two wins, ending all possibility of an India vs Pakistan final.
India need both Sri Lanka and Afghanistan to beat their arch-rivals Pakistan to stay alive in the competition. Should it happen, Sri Lanka will make it to the final while India will be level on points provided they beat Afghanistan. The margin of victory will also be key in their scenario, with NRR set to decide the second finalist. ‘
