The race to reach the Asia Cup final has now become exciting. Now the equation also became clear which team needs. The Sri Lankan cricket team has almost gone out after losing to Pakistan, if there is no miracle, then a team from Bangladesh or Pakistan will play the final with India.

In the Asia Cup 2025 Super-4, 3 matches have now been played and 3 are to be played. Now all matches will be held at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Today is India vs Bangladesh match. On Thursday, Pakistan vs Bangladesh and then India vs Sri Lanka match on 26 September.

Equation 1 (if India defeated Bangladesh)

If India defeated Bangladesh today, Team India will become the first team to reach the final. Sri Lanka will be officially out. Then India vs Sri Lanka match will remain formal. The second finalist will decide on September 25 from Pakistan vs Bangladesh match, the winning team will reach the final. Therefore, Pakistan would like the Indian team to beat Bangladesh today. Because Pakistan will be a strong team in Bangladesh.

Equation 2 (if Bangladesh defeats India)

In the Asia Cup 2025, Team India is the only team that has not lost any match. It is very difficult for Bangladesh to win today. Still, if Bangladesh defeated India, then its path will become easier. In such a situation, Bangladesh can beat the final ticket by defeating Pakistan, but even if it is defeated, then it will be waiting for the India vs Sri Lanka match. If Sri Lanka wins, Bangladesh will reach the final, if India wins, it will be decided on the basis of net run rate, who will play the final?

A equation is like this

Although this is very difficult to happen, yet if the Indian cricket team loses both their matches, then only 2 points will be there. In such a situation, there will be 4 points from one team of one team from Bangladesh or Pakistan, and Sri Lanka will also have 2 points. The 3 teams will be with 2 points and then the net will decide who will go to the final.

In the Asia Cup 2025, the ‘Handshek controversy’ has been very much discussed recently. The controversy started with the India-Pakistan match, when the players of Team India did not join hands with the Pakistan team. In this case, the name of the match referee Andy Paiyoft also came into the limelight, about which the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) claimed that Paiyoft had apologized. However, the ICC accused the Pakistan Cricket Board of violating the rules. Meanwhile, if I assume, India starts boycotting the Asia Cup for some reason, then know how much damage BCCI may have to bear for this.

India will do boycott, then how much will be the loss

First of all, know that the Asian Cup is organized, not the ICC but the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). If a team withdrew the name before the tournament starts, then it can be replaced by another team and accordingly it is also possible to change the schedule. But there was a dispute in Pakistan’s case because it threatened to leave the middle tournament in the middle.

If India or any other team tries to leave the tournament in the middle, then it may have to pay heavy penalty. Such decisions also affect broadcasters, sponsorship and ticket sales revenue. Recently, a report came out that Pakistan could have to pay a penalty of $ 16 million, or about 140 crores, to leave the Asia Cup in the middle.

If India had boycotted the Asia Cup like Pakistan, then it is not necessary for BCCI that it would have to pay a penalty of Rs 140 crore. This amount can be more or less, but ACC has definitely imposed heavy penalty in such a situation. Apart from this, the team’s partnership in the next ACC tournaments can also be affected.

Sanju Samson was opening with Abhishek Sharma in T20 cricket for many time, after which it was believed that he would play in the same position in the Asia Cup. In the last 10 T20 international innings, Sanju Samson scored 3 centuries, although the remaining innings were not very good but he was considered to be a big contender for this position in the Asia Cup. But the thinking of team management is somewhat different. Shubman Gill will now open, although Sanju has started preparations for the new position but he failed in the first attempt.

Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar made it clear at the time of the team announcement that Sanju Samson was opening because Shubman Gill was not in the team, now he has come back. That is, there is every possibility that Gill and Abhishek Sharma will start the innings in the Asia Cup. Tilak Verma will come at number three and Suryakumar Yadav will come at number four. Hardik Pandya can bat at number five, so the number six slot will be vacant for wicket -keeper Samson.

Sanju Samson is preparing the number six

Sanju Samson has also started batting attempts on this sequence (number six). In the fifth match of Kerala Premier League, Sanju Samson batted at number six. Sanju, who was in the Kochi Blue Tigers team, however failed in his first attempt. In this match played on Saturday, he played 22 balls to score 13 runs. He could not hit a single four or six. This performance is not good for Samson preparing for the Asia Cup.

In the first match of Kochi Blue Tigers in Kerala Premier League, Sanju Samson’s batting could not come, but if he got a chance in the second match, he could score just 13 runs in 22 balls. However, both matches have won both matches.
