Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan are in a deadly battle for Super 4 spots
In Group B, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have emerged at the forefront, each collected 4 points to secure their place in the next phase. But Afghanistan is alive for its powerful net run rate despite having only 2 points. His fate now rests on the result of Sri Lanka game on 18 September.

But if Afghanistan draws a win, the whole group B table will be reversed. All three sides then closed at four points, Afghanistan thanked the Super Four Round for their strong net run rate.
The real suspense lies with Sri Lanka, as their margin of defeat against Afghanistan can decide if they survive or knock out of the ongoing Asia Cup 2025, which gives Bangladesh a chance. So far, Hong Kong, Oman and UAE have been removed from the tournament.
