How can India qualify for the finals of the Asia Cup 2023 after a win against Pakistan?

Possible Scenario 1: If India beats Sri Lanka, then they will reach the finals owing to their big net run rate, and the last match of Pakistan against Dasun Shanaka’s side will be the knockout match. It is no wonder that Sri Lanka also registered an impressive win against Bangladesh, as their team also has a good net run rate.

Scenario 2: If both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh defeat India, then the Men in Blue will be out of the tournament, while Pakistan and Sri Lanka will lock horns to play during the finals of the Asia Cup 2023.

Scenario 3: According to sources, there is no reserve day for any matches from now on, so if all matches get washed out, Team India will be playing against Sri Lanka in the finals owing to their top two positions.

Possible Scenario 4: If Dasun Shanaka’s side beats India in today’s match and Pakistan registers a win against Sri Lanka, Rohit Sharma needs a must-win against Bangladesh. Notably, a washout will knock them out of the tournament, as they will have 3 points while Babar Azam will have 4 points.
