It is as if India is in a coma. Essentially: Cricket is a game of uncertainty. As long as there are possibilities on paper, there is no chance to have the last word. So on what basis is India’s hope to win after losing 2 matches? In short, the answer is the fate of India’s Asia Cup in the hands of arch-rival Pakistan!

Pakistan will face Afghanistan in the third match of Super Four on Wednesday. If Pakistan wins that match, India will not be able to reach the final of the Asia Cup, because India lost to Sri Lanka after Pakistan to go to the final of the Asia Cup.

Not only will Afghanistan be beaten by a big margin on Thursday. Rohit Sharma will also have to look at the results of other matches.
Sri Lanka is at the top with 4 points after Tuesday. Second placed Pakistan collected 2 points. India and Afghanistan have zero points.
If India wants to reach the final from this situation, Afghanistan will have to beat Pakistan. And Sri Lanka has to win their last match against Pakistan as well. In other words, Babar Azam’s team cannot win their remaining two matches. Only then will Rohit’s forehead open.

The fact is that if Pakistan loses the remaining two matches, India’s path to the final is smooth. Along with this, India has to win against Afghanistan. If it is Pakistan, Afghanistan and India – three teams will have 2 points.

Then the net run rate will be seen. Like Afghanistan, India has not collected points but India is leading in net run rate. Losing Afghanistan by a wide margin will widen that gap. On the other hand, Babar Azam’s net run rate will deteriorate if Pakistan loses the remaining two matches. Only then will the Indian team get permission to play the final based on the net run rate.

And India will be knocked out if Afghanistan loses against Pakistan on Wednesday. The soil will be the chance of a hat trick to win the Asia Cup. As such, India’s fate is in the hands of Pakistan.
