Asia Cup 2025: Super Four Standings, Points Table, and Who’s in the Race for the Final

The Asia Cup 2025 is really down to the wire. We've made it to the Super Four, and let's be honest, every match from now until the end is basically like a final. The teams are feeling the heat, what's at stake is huge, and the points table is a jumbled mess as everyone tries to guess who's making it to the final game. It's intense!

Right now, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka are the teams duking it out. Honestly, it's a total free-for-all, and things are changing practically every minute. So, what I want to do is look at where each team is sitting, analyze their chances, see who's in good form, and what little details you need to pay attention to over the next few days.

Super Four: A little refresher you might need

Before everyone starts shouting at me about run rates and whatnot, let’s quickly explain the basics:
So basically, it started with groups – Two groups went at it to face off with each other..
Then, the top two teams from each group moved on to the Super Four. Basically like the tournament just grew thorns.
In this Super Four, the four teams play each other just once. It’s a round-robin setup.
Then, the two teams with the best numbers on the Super Four table head to the final to battle it out for the title!

So, what happens if teams tie? Well, that's where things get interesting. If they end up with the same points, we go to something called Net Run Rate(NRR). Basically, every point matters. Every team needs to watch how fast they score runs compared to how many runs they let the other team make, every run has major weight!

During the Super Four stage, a win gets you 2 points. A loss? Nothing. Big goose egg. Also, so far we are lucky to be free from rain and all games are pushing through!

Current Standings & Updated Points Table

After the Super Four match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, the updated standings look as follows:

Who is winning, Who is not: Super Four Points Table

Alright, let's get to the juicy stuff. This is what the numbers are telling us now:

India is chilling at the top because they happened to win their Super Four game. Good for them!
Bangladesh is close behind. They also won their first game, but India has a better NRR.
Pakistan? They've been up and down. They've played two games: winning one (against Sri Lanka) and losing another (against India). That nets them 2 points.
Sri Lanka? they are in deep trouble. They haven’t managed to win any of their games, so they are dead in the running unless disaster turns into miracle.

Just so you know, India and Pakistan came out of Group A, while Sri Lanka and Bangladesh escaped from Group B.

What Happens Now?: Road to that glorious Final

With the position as it is, it looks like India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh will be fighting for that final title match, The other team might as well go home! Seeing as Sri Lanka lost both their matches, they would need a miracle to get to the top.

Over here, we will be diving into each team's current affairs to see what they will need to win.

1. India

The team is currently in the driver's seat because they were leading the pack with their good NRR.
They still need to play vs Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
Winning one of these is almost a guarantee. Even losing one, they may still make it considering how everyone else does.
In conclusion, everything from points to runs matters more than ever.

2. Bangladesh

They made good first steps with the win, but their NRR is not great.
They need to win the rest of their games (vs India and Pakistan).
Even so, India needs to trip up! Meaning they need to past India's NRR by winning by a lot. That's sounds close to impossible!

3. Pakistan

Beating Sir Lanka put them in the position after slipping up against India.
Pakistan has one match against Bangladesh.
They need to beat Bangladesh so India loses, so they qualify. Or if not, the game must be close enough that the NRR goes up.
Pakistan is at (+0.226) for NRR, which is greater than Bangladesh (+0.121). This may set them up for the finals.

4. Sri Lanka

They have 0 on the Super Four, meaning their chances are dead. They are only here for the show!
These remaining games are now for growth and confidence. Test out the younger team members and see if you make a statement.
Some say that Pakistan winning against Sri Lanka made it a three team fight!

What Now?: Details to the Games

There is a couple of things to note before the finals. These are things that can decide the fate of the team and how they play!

Net Run Rate (NRR) is everything. If there is a tie, use them.

Timing is key: whoever plays later has an advantage. They see who might win and make smart choices.

Matchups:

If Bangladesh plays India and loses, it'll force Pakistan to play more agressively. Pakistan is gonna have to plan it all out.

If India barely beats Bangladesh, Pakistan can make up the loss by playing high-scoring games

Previous Asia cups

In the past, the teams that were constant with their score ended up winning with less momentum. Even a team with good stats and wins can gain an advantage.

For past Asia Cups, the team that won and got big wins ended up gaining NRR boosts, saving them since teams had losses near the end.
