Is an India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 final possible? How can IND, PAK qualify for summit clash? All scenarios explained

Pakistan have put themselves in an uncertain position of making it to the Asia Cup 2025 final after their six-wicket loss to India in a Super 4 clash last Sunday. Having finished second in the Group A, Pakistan put on a much-improved show before surrendering in front of a dominant Indian side led by Suryakumar Yadav.

However, Pakistan's loss to India in the Super 4 doesn't rule them out of contention for a final spot. Having said that, India's win over their arch-rivals also do not cement their spot in the September 28 finale. Both Pakistan and India are scheduled to play Sri Lanka and Bangladesh before a clear picture comes up on the two finalists.

With two India vs Pakistan clashes already in Asia Cup 2025, will another Indo-Pak encounter, possibly in the final, take place? India have already defeated Pakistan in both the encounters played so far. Let's check out all the scenarios on how India and Pakistan qualify for the final.

How can India, Pakistan qualify for Asia Cup 2025 final?

• Pakistan's most easiest path towards the final will be win both their remaining games.
• That would put Pakistan on four points from three games and finish on secomd spot in the Super 4 table.
• If India also win both their remaining games, then the Men in Blue finish on six points while Pakistan finish on four points, thus ensuring another IND vs PAK final.

• Although India can afford a loss in their next two matches (which is unlikely to happen), a slip-up for Pakistan in their remaining games would show the Men in Green the exit door.
