The 2025 Asia Cup is heading into its decisive stage, with the Super Four phase all set to kick off this weekend in Dubai. While India still have one group fixture left against Oman on Friday at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, the four teams for the next round are already locked in.
Four Teams Through to the Super Four
After an action-packed group stage featuring 11 games, the race has narrowed down to the region’s heavyweights. India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh will contest the Super Four stage, each eyeing a spot in the final.
- India, led by stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav, were the first team to qualify from Group A.
- Pakistan joined them after a decisive 41-run victory over UAE.
- From Group B, Sri Lanka topped the table with a perfect record of three wins in three matches.
- Bangladesh edged through as the final entrant after Afghanistan’s slip against Sri Lanka on Thursday.
Super Four Format Explained
The format is straightforward: the four sides will face each other once in a round-robin stage. The top two at the end of these fixtures will progress to the grand finale. The points system stays the same—two for a win, one for a no result—while net run rate will play a key role if teams are tied.
India vs Pakistan: The Showpiece Clash
The biggest headline-grabber is, of course, the India vs Pakistan rematch. The arch-rivals are set to lock horns on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at the Dubai International Stadium, with play scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM IST.
With both teams carrying strong form into the Super Four, the encounter promises high drama, intense rivalries, and could play a decisive role in shaping the tournament’s finalists.
