With each team in the Super 4s supposed to play only 3 matches each, India are now on the brink of being eliminated from the tournament after having suffered a loss against arch rivals Pakistan earlier.

But, all is not over yet for the Rohit Sharma led side. There is still a remote possibility of the men in blue reaching the final.

How can India still qualify for the final of 2022 Asia Cup?

Having already won both their Super 4 matches, Sri Lanka are more or less assured of their spot in the final of the 2022 Asia Cup. This leaves room for only one of the remaining 3 teams - India, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

India is evidently the most vulnerable side at the moment having lost two matches in Super 4s, while Pakistan have won their only contest so far and Afghanistan still have two matches in hand to turn their fortunes around.

The equation for India to qualify for the 2022 Asia Cup final is pretty complicated. Since they themselves cannot pocket more than 2 points in the Super 4s, the only shot for India if Pakistan and Afghanistan don't win more than one match in the Super 4s.

The only way this is possible is if Afghanistan beat Pakistan on Wednesday, followed by a win for India against Afghanistan on Thursday and Sri Lanka completing a hat-trick of victories with a win over Pakistan on Friday. Even if all the results go India's way, they still will have to wait for an NRR advantage.

The All-India Senior Selection Committee has picked India’s squad for the upcoming Asia Cup 2022 to be played from 27th August to 11th September 2022.

The 15th edition of the tournament will be played in the UAE between six teams (main event). Defending champions India are also the most successful team, having won the trophy seven times. While the last edition of the tournament was held in an ODI format, this edition will feature the T20 format.

The six teams are divided into two groups with India, Pakistan and a qualifying team in Group A and Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan forming Group B. Each team plays the other once in the group stage with the top two teams from each group advancing to the Super 4 round. The top 2 teams from Super 4 will qualify for the final.

India’s squad for Asia Cup: Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Dinesh Karthik (wicket-keeper), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, R. Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravi Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan

India was, on Wednesday, knocked out of contention for the Asia Cup final after Pakistan beat Afghanistan by one wicket in a tense Super 4 match in Sharjah. Winless in two matches, both India and Afghanistan are out of the tournament and Thursday's match between the two sides has been rendered inconsequential.

With four points each from two wins apiece, Pakistan and Sri Lanka sealed their places in the summit clash to be played on Sunday.

After convincing wins over Pakistan and Hong Kong, India looked clueless in the Super 4 stage. They lost to Pakistan by five wickets and then slumped to a six-wicket defeat against Sri Lanka in a close match.

Despite the losses, India still had a mathematical chance to qualify for Sunday's final if Afghanistan had beaten Pakistan on Wednesday. Besides, India were also required to beat Afghanistan by a big margin on Thursday and for Sri Lanka to do a favour by beating Pakistan on Friday.
