With their victory over India in the opening game of the Super 4s stage, Pakistan has advanced one step closer to the 2022 Asia Cup final. The Men in Green were brilliant as they successfully chased down a target of 182 with 5 wickets remaining and earned two significant points.
Due to the difference in net run rates, Pakistan has risen to the second position on the table, closely behind Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka had earlier won brilliantly, defeating Afghanistan by four wickets.
India and Afghanistan, who are currently occupying the third and fourth slots in the Super 4s stage, are both winless at this time.
India will face Sri Lanka in the next match. A win for Dasun Shanka’s men will almost guarantee them a place in the final, while a win for Rohit Sharma’s team will keep their hopes alive of making it to the final.
The tournament’s next game for Pakistan will take place against Afghanistan on September 7 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. While Pakistan’s victory will almost certainly secure a spot in the final, Afghanistan will need to win to remain in the competition.
Here is the Super 4s points table:
| Team | Matches | Wins | Losses | Points | Net Run Rate |
| Sri Lanka | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | +0.589 |
| Pakistan | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | +0.126 |
| India | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -0.126 |
| Afghanistan | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -0.589 |
