Asia Cup 2022 points table: Updated standings after India vs Pakistan Match 2

India bagged the top spot in the Asia Cup 2022 points table with a close win over Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday (August 28). In Group A, India have two points from one match, while Pakistan are third with a net run rate of -0.175. Hong Kong are yet to play a match.

The top two teams from Group A and B will qualify for the Super 4 stage. Since Hong Kong don't have a good record against top-tier teams, fans expect India and Pakistan to finish as the top two teams in the Asia Cup 2022 points table for Group A.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan's big win over Sri Lanka has made things unpredictable in Group B. The Afghans are at the top right now and will play their next match against Bangladesh on Tuesday (August 30) evening. A win over Bangladesh would confirm Afghanistan's place in the Super Fours.

A win for Afghanistan would also turn the final match of Group B between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh into a do-or-die game. But if Bangladesh win, then things may get a little complicated for all three teams. Group B of the Asia Cup 2022 promises to have an exciting finale.

India are likely to top the Asia Cup 2022 points table in Group A

Coming back to Group A, India have almost confirmed the top spot in the points table with a win over Pakistan. Both India and Pakistan will start as favorites against Hong Kong. If Hong Kong fail to register an upset win, India will finish atop the group, followed by Pakistan in second position.

India and Pakistan may then clash again at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium next Sunday (September 4) in the Super 4 stage.
