How did teams qualify for Super 4 stage of Asia Cup 2025?
The first team to advance to the Super Four stage was the one captained by Suryakumar Yadav. India, who are in Group A of the competition, defeated arch-rivals Pakistan by seven wickets after defeating the United Arab Emirates by nine wickets in their opening match.
But after the UAE defeated Oman with a strong performance, they qualified. The host country's victory raised their chances of qualifying for the next round for the first time in history, but their dreams were dashed in the next match when former champions Pakistan defeated them by 41 runs thanks to an all-around performance from Shaheen Afridi. After defeating Oman in their opening match, Pakistan's victory allowed them to join India in the Super Four.
Sri Lanka and Bangladesh made it through from Group B. The Charith Asalanka-led side qualified after winning all three of their matches, while Bangladesh secured the final berth after Afghanistan lost to Sri Lanka on Thursday.
