As India lost their second game against Sri Lanka in the super 4 round of Asia Cup 2022 yesterday, it has got incredibly difficult for India to get to the final of the tournament now. But since their Net Run Rate (NRR) is not that bad, they are still in with a chance if they beat Afghanistan and a couple of results go their way.
Before India faces Afghanistan tomorrow, they will have to hope that Afghanistan beats Pakistan in the third super 4 game tonight. If Afghanistan doesn’t win tonight, both Pakistan and Sri Lanka will qualify for the final of Asia Cup 2022, and India and Afghanistan will be eliminated from the tournament.
The Indian fans are extremely disappointed with India’s performance in Asia Cup 2022, but one of the positives the team can take from the performances so far is that all the games have been very close and it’s not that they have been outplayed in any of the games.
Pitch report for India Vs Afghanistan in Asia Cup 2022 super 4
India will again play this match in Dubai and for a change, they would want the toss to go in their favor because they have lost tosses in two crucial games in the super 4 round and the pitch has got better for batting in the second innings.
India will also want to ensure if they win, they win by a decent margin so that they get into the frame for qualification to the final if the results of the other two remaining games of super 4 go their way.
2nd consecutive defeat to India in super 4 stage of Asia Cup. They are still mathematically not out, ifs and buts alive for them, but it will be all over for India if Pakistan beats Afghanistan.
