India have secured their place in the final of 2023 Asia Cup after beating Sri Lanka by 41 runs in the Super 4 clash on Tuesday in Colombo.
India are on the top spot in the Super 4 standings of the Asia Cup 2023 with 4 points, with a game remaining against Bangladesh, who are now out of the tournament.
Despite a humiliating loss to India, Pakistan still have a chance of making it to the final of the tournament.
Prior to facing India, Pakistan had convincingly defeated Bangladesh in the Super 4 phase. However, Pakistan now have only one match remaining in the Super 4 stage, against Sri Lanka.
With Pakistan and Sri Lanka both having 2 points after two Super 4 matches, their encounter on Thursday is now a virtual semi-final - whoever wins will meet India in the final.
If Sri Lanka vs Pakistan match is washed out due to rain, Sri Lanka will qualify for the final as they hold a superior net run rate (-0.200) compared to Pakistan (-1.892).
