After India's disappointing 6-wicket loss to Sri Lanka on Tuesday (September 6) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, their prospects of making the Asia Cup 2022 final were all but over. However, the Rohit Sharma-led team has a slight possibility of placing in the top two of this round's points table if the outcomes of the remaining Super Four matches go in their favor. Let’s see how India can still secure a place in the Asia Cup 2022 final. The way India can reach the Asia Cup Cricket 2022 final   The Indian team, first and foremost, has to win their last fixture of the Super Four Round against Afghanistan on Thursday. In fact, India must win by a large margin in order to surpass both Pakistan and Afghanistan in the net run rate equation. However, winning big against Afghanistan's side will also not guarantee their place in the championship match. There are other factors which need to come into their way. India’s remaining Super Four Round fixture Date: September 8 | Opposition: Afghanistan | Venue: DICS (Dubai) | Start Time: 8 p.m. (Bangladesh Standard Time)  The following results will assist India's chances of securing a place in the championship match:    1) Afghanistan have to beat Pakistan by a narrow margin on Wednesday    2) India have to beat Afghanistan by a huge margin on Thursday    3) Sri Lanka have to beat Pakistan by a big margin on Friday India still have a mathematical (net run rate) chance to make the final if all of these equations go in their favour.

After losing their first match of the tournament against India, the Pakistan side has made a strong comeback with two back-to-back wins. Now they are one win away from securing a place in the final. Oppositely, Afghanistan had a fantastic start with two commanding victories over Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. They are now on the verge of being eliminated from the tournament. At 8:00 p.m. (Bangladesh Standard Time), the game will start. Pakistan The Pakistan side showed a lot of promise in the contest against India. Their bowling unit did a great job, picking crucial wickets at the important stages of the match and denying India the chance to score 200. Mohammad Rizwan has been excellent for the Pakistan side.

The Super Four contest between Sri Lanka and India will start at 8 p.m. (Bangladesh Standard Time) on Tuesday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. India India made a fantastic start in the ongoing Asia Cup cricket by winning comprehensively in their group phase matches against Pakistan and Hong Kong respectively. However, Pakistan ended their winning run by overcoming the Super Four round contest in the final over. One of the major shortcomings for India during the match against Pakistan was their inability to pick up wickets in the middle overs. The Indian key bowlers were way more expensive, and the batters failed to accelerate the run rates in the death overs. Players have adapted well to the conditions and are capable of making a strong comeback.

However, they have made a strong comeback in their last two fixtures of the ongoing event. They beat Bangladesh to finish second in group B and had a fantastic win against Afghanistan in their first match of the Super Four round. The Lankan campaign now has a genuine chance to earn a place in the final.   Sri Lanka will advance to the final if they can win one of their last two fixtures. That is why the match against India will be crucial for the Lankan side, and they will try their heart and soul to win this contest. Sri Lankan bowlers conceded too many runs at the beginning of the innings in the last match, which is a major worry. The bowlers need to be tight in their bowling and have to maintain pinpoint accuracy to put Indian batters under pressure. The Lankan batters did well in the last encounter, and they just need to continue the good work against the mighty Indian team. Sri Lanka may field the same playing XI that won the last two contests. Predicted Playing XI Top-Order: Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis (Wicket-Keeper), Charith Asalanka,  Middle-Order: Danushka Gunathilaka, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Dasun Shanaka (Captain), Wanindu Hasaranga, Chamika Karunaratne,  Lower-Order: Maheesh Theekshana, Asitha Fernando, Dilshan Madushanka.
