Asia Cup 2025: Can Pakistan Reach the Final and Face India? Qualification Scenarios Explained

India beat Pakistan by 6 wickets in the Asia Cup Super 4, putting themselves near the finals. Pakistan set a target of 171/5, but they never really looked like winning.

Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill tore through the bowling, putting together a solid 105-run opening partnership that set India on an easy path to victory. The win has helped ease India’s path to the finale, but it has made Pakistan’s job trickier, as they are yet to face Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in their remaining two Super 4 matches.
