The win in Abu Dhabi sends Pakistan second on the Super Fours points table while Sri Lanka are all but out. Pakistan have kept alive their hopes of qualifying for the final of the T20 Asia Cup 2025 with a five-wicket win over Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi. Bangladesh slipped from second to third and have an NRR of 0.121 while Sri Lanka were pushed closer to elimination with an NRR of -0.59 and zero points. They will now hope that Bangladesh beat both India (on Wednesday) and Pakistan (on Thursday) by big margins. Sri Lanka would then hope to beat holders India by an enormous margin on Friday and take the second finalist’s spot.
