The Asia Cup 2025 has already seen four matches completed, impacting the tournament’s points table. Group A witnessed Pakistan and Oman starting their campaigns, with Pakistan registering a commanding 93-run victory over Oman at the Dubai International Stadium on September 12. Mohammad Harris starred with a powerful 66 runs from 43 balls as Pakistan posted 160/7. The bowling unit backed the total by dismissing Oman cheaply for 67 runs. Despite this dominant win, Pakistan remains second behind India in Group A due to a lower net run rate.
India currently leads the points table after a stunning performance against UAE, where they chased down a modest total of 57 runs in just 4.3 overs. This quick victory boosted their net run rate to an impressive +10.483, substantially higher than Pakistan’s +4.650 despite Pakistan's win. Oman and UAE occupy the lower places in the group standings following their respective results.
The forthcoming match on September 14 between India and Pakistan is pivotal. A win for India will practically seal their advancement to the Super Four stage, while a Pakistan victory could potentially elevate them to the top of the group, shifting the balance in their favor.
Meanwhile, in Group B, Afghanistan leads with two points after their emphatic win over Hong Kong, followed closely by Bangladesh, who also secured a victory. The tournament features eight teams split into two groups, with the top two from each advancing to the Super Four, heightening the stakes as competition intensifies.
Fans and analysts are eagerly watching the points table, where match results and net run rates will play a critical role in deciding which teams progress and which face elimination in this high-profile edition of the Asia Cup.
