India in Asia Cup 2022 Super Four: ohit Sharma's team India can still qualify for the final should the results in the upcoming matches work in its favour.
It will also need to beat Afghanistan by a good margin on Thursday. The two-time defending champion now faces a situation where its qualification for the final depends on results - Pakistan’s to be precise. India’s road to the final now depends on Pakistan’s results in its remaining Super Four matches against Afghanistan (Wednesday) and Sri Lanka (Friday).
Asia Cup 2022 Scenario: With Sri Lanka already with two Super Four wins, that will confirm a Pakistan-Lanka title clash.
Needless to say, they need to beat Afghanistan on Thursday, that too by as convincing a margin as possible. One thing possibly going in India’s favour is that their two defeats have come on the penultimate balls of the matches, and a big win over Afghanistan can still put them back in the equation, if other results go their way. That will seal the Lankans’ spot in the final with three consecutive wins, and the other three teams with one win each, with net run rate being the deciding criterion.
India: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (w), Deepak Hooda, Hardik Pandya, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, ...
Rohit and Suryakumar got together with India in trouble at 13 for two. It came down to the last over, bowled by Arshdeep Singh, with Sri Lanka needing seven to win. Earlier, Sri Lanka grabbed wickets at regular intervals to limit India to a par score. It took a brilliant over from leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal to pull India back into the contest. Only a few favourable results, and an India win in its last Super 4 match (against Afghanistan on Thursday) can allow the side to progress to the final. Chasing 174, Sri Lanka crossed the finish line with one ball to spare.
Asia Cup 2022: Although India suffered a six-wicket defeat against Sri Lanka in Asia Cup 2022 on Tuesday, 6 September, Twitter heaped praises on Arshdeep ...
I need to get answers from the younger ones," Rohit said after the match. Courtesy of a few accurately executed yorkers, Arshdeep conceded only five runs in the first four deliveries. [ ](https://www.thequint.com/news)and [ Breaking News ](/)at the Quint, browse for more from [ sports ](https://www.thequint.com/sports)and [ sports-buzz](https://www.thequint.com/sports/sports-buzz) Chahal and Bhuvi are the senior pros and have been doing it for a while. Besides social media, Arshdeep Singh has also garnered praise from his skipper Rohit Sharma for his performance in the last over of the match. However, in less than 48 hours, Arshdeep turned his critics into his fans, courtesy of an impressive last over against Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka posted a 6-wicket win in the final over to upset the favourites..team india. asia cup super 4. india verus sri lanka. dasun shanaka. ravi bishnoi.
Suryakumar also got into the act, striking Madushanka for a maximum. He followed that up with a four and then another six. It also meant that India skipper Rohit Sharma's scintillating 41-ball 72 went in vain, as the islanders completed a chase of 174 with a ball to spare. In the first ball of the next over, Sri Lanka suffered a body blow as Chahal got the big wicket of Mendis, who was trapped lbw in front of the wicket. Sri Lanka were off to a dream start as they removed opener KL Rahul (6) and one-down Virat Kohli (0) in quick succession, leaving defending champions India in early trouble at 13 for two in the third over. The result left the Men in Blue at the mercy of the other teams to have a chance of making it to the final.
The Asia Cup heads into the business end of the tournament with just three games left to decide the two finalists.

Pakistan vs Afghanistan LIVE streaming: Here is how you can watch Wednesday's PAK vs AFG Asia Cup 2022 match on TV, online streaming and follow the ...
Asia Cup 2022 will end on September 11, 2022 with the final in Dubai. Where will the PAK vs AFG Asia Cup 2022 match be played? At what time will the PAK vs AFG Asia Cup 2022 match start in India?
Defending champions India were staring at an early exit from the Asia Cup after suffering a six-wicket loss to Sri Lanka in Dubai on Tuesday night.
Also the selectors and team management need to look at developing a team with T20 specialists. India had notched up series wins over New Zealand (3-0), West Indies (3-0) and Sri Lanka (3-0) at home, while getting the better of Ireland (2-0), England (2-1) and the West Indies (4-1) in away series after the group stage exit in the last T20 World Cup. However, the Indians failed to capitalise on an excellent platform and ended up with 181/7 against Pakistan in the opening Super 4 encounter. Chasing 174, the Lankan openers Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis got their team off to a flier. However, just as in the Pakistan game, the Indians failed to finish strongly as they lost wickets in a heap. Defending champions India were staring at an early exit from the Asia Cup after suffering a six-wicket loss to Sri Lanka in Dubai on Tuesday night.
India would be hoping that Afghanistan beats Pakistan in the super 4s match today in order to keep their hopes alive in the tournament.
Speaking about head to heads Afghanistan has never beaten Pakistan in any form of cricket so far. Later, Mohammad Rizwan slammed 71 while Mohammad Nawaz scored 42 for Pakistan to grab victory by 5 wickets in the end. On the other hand, Pakistan defeated India by 5 wickets.
A win will take Pakistan closer to the final while Afghanistan will be keen to open their account in the Super 4s.
With a strike rate of 166.66 in the Asia Cup, the hard-hitting opener presents a serious threat to the Pakistan bowlers. Though Pakistan have a perfect record against Afghanistan - having won both the matches in 2013 and 2019 - it's going to be anybody's game in Sharjah. They will need to keep to those levels if Afghanistan are to make the final. He is also among a key group of players Afghanistan will be relying on to lift them up from the bottom of the Super 4 table. Pakistan, meanwhile, have been able to put up convincing victories despite injuries to key players and their captain being out of form. He also hit an 18-ball 40 in a low-key chase in the Asia Cup opener. Bowling still remains their biggest strength, with spinners Shadab Khan and Nawaz sharing 13 wickets between them from three matches. The likes of Fakhar Zaman and Khushdil Shah have also chipped in, and in the previous match, against India, allrounder Mohammad Nawaz blazed away to 42 off 20 balls after being promoted to No.4. And overall, they've shown they no longer just rely on the spin trio of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and captain Mohammad Nabi for wickets anymore. Especially with the experienced Haris Rauf struggling a little bit. The 19-year-old has picked up five wickets in three matches so far in the competition and will have a big role to play in restricting Afghanistan's improved batting. [Najibullah Zadran](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/najibullah-zadran-524049), [Rahmanullah Gurbaz](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/rahmanullah-gurbaz-974087)and [Ibrahim Zadran](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/ibrahim-zadran-921509)have all stepped up to the challenge.
A high-flying Pakistan will take on spirited Afghanistan in a 2022 Asia Cup Super 4 round match in Sharjah.
The surface in Sharjah is likely to have a glossy sheen and dry spots that could aid the spinners. Rizwan underwent an MRI scan on his right knee soon after Pakistan beat India by five wickets in Dubai. If it does, it will have to rely on other results going its way to have a chance of making the final. In comparison, Rashid has four wickets at a higher economy rate of 6.08. Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s 84 off 45 balls had put Afghanistan on course for 200 at one stage, but Sri Lanka restricted it to a lower total by picking wickets in a cluster. For Pakistan, captain Babar Azam’s troubles at the top have been balanced out by Mohammad Rizwan, who comes into this match on the back of two consecutive fifties.

Sri Lanka had struggled to get their campaign off to a good start few nights back with the tournament had kicked off as they have been in the format over the last few months. With just a game in hand now, can Rohit Sharma's men still qualify for the Asia Cup final? 10 months back, at the very same country, India's hopes depended on Afghanistan beating New Zealand in 2021 T20 World Cup. But in a space of three nights, India lost two consecutive matches in the Asia Cup for the first time since 2014, leaving them on the brink of elimination.
Rohit Sharma played down concerns about India's form ahead of next month's T20 World Cup after successive Asia Cup defeats, insisting the dressing room ...
"But we should not think about it too much. he is a confident lad." Few losses here and there, one dropped catch, we don't look too much into it," said Rohit.

"We don't talk like this in the dressing room, because we have played so many matches after the (last) World Cup and won.

Middle-order crumbles again as Sri Lanka push Rohit & Co to the exit door of Asia Cup.
But that was the end of it. The middle-order collapsed, leaving Ashwin to scrape through the last two overs as they finished with 173/8. He reacted by using his hands to hook while standing upright in the middle of the pitch. Having had his share of short bursts — an average of 23.4 at a strike rate of 138.18 in the last 16 innings through 2022, a big inning from Rohit Sharma was due. India went with a defensive approach against Sri Lanka in Dubai on Tuesday, dropping a frontline bowler in Ravi Bishnoi for the off-spinner. While it is true that Bishnoi is more of a googly bowler than a leg-spinner, purely based on form, India could have backed him in a must-win clash.

Do the last 18 months in Sri Lankan cricket show that the transition phase is finally over, wonders Andrew Fidel Fernando.

[Bhanuka Rajapaksa](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/bhanuka-rajapaksa-342619), Sri Lanka seem to have discovered a reliable middle-order hitter. is this Sri Lanka team [allowed to do that](https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/asia-cup-2022-ban-vs-sl-sri-lanka-lucky-or-back-to-punching-above-weight-1332051)? Having debuted in this tournament, he has an economy rate of 7.38 and could become Dushmantha Chameera's fast-bowling partner at the T20 World Cup next month. Hit more boundaries, raise the run rate, canter to that finish if you can, because there are only nine overs left, but plenty of batting resources in the tank. Sri Lanka is a team in transition, said administrators and coaches. He was out for 52 off the 37th delivery he faced, doing pretty much exactly what a batter in that situation should be doing. Used to happen all the time in the 90s, but this is the Big-Three dominant, IPL-crazy, Tik-Tok age. In 2016 - just two years after they had won the T20 World Cup - Sri Lanka lost 13 of the 16 T20Is they played. In other formats, there were unprecedented home-series losses to Zimbabwe, repeated whitewashes at the hands of India, and fielding performances that would have embarrassed a cricket team of penguins, let alone paid professionals. Problem was, at times it seemed the transition was complete; they had just become a trash-heap team. Sri Lanka won five Asia Cups, made three T20 World Cup finals, won one of those - their players at the forefront of the game's evolution, their attack so varied it was almost perverse, their batting engine room consistently putting up runs, plus pretty decent at making speeches, even to posh white people.

Loose balls are rare, semi-rare balls are rarer, they are at you all the time, changing their trajectories, mixing their pace, slipping in their variations. Both bowl spin, can bat and are terrific fielders, but those virtues of similar hues have often pitted them as suitors for the same spot, not only in Pakistan’s white ball sides but also when they were together in Pakistan A side and even with the Edmonton Royals, a club in Canada. Nonetheless, they are good friends, collaborators and in this Asia Cup, their side’s tag-team destroyers, bagging more than half of the wickets Pakistan have managed in this tournament. But in the first place, Pakistan had little business being in this heart-pounding juncture but for their own self-implosive traits. The second stroke was a replica—a missed yorker and a neat blow over long-off. But there was a twist, rather a series of twists before Pakistan sneaked into the final with a one-wicket win over a defiant Afghanistan, whose players were reduced to tears.
