After witnessing two sensational matches between India and Pakistan, fans from both sides have one lingering question in their minds: Will the arch-rivals face each other in the finals?
Although it's almost impossible to predict an outcome in any sport, cricket fans may be in for a treat on September 11 if things pan out the right way
India and Pakistan put up a brilliant show in their Super Four clash. India started strong, managing to make a solid 185. However, Pakistan put up an even better show, beating India by five wickets on Sunday.
Each team that makes it to the Super Four will play at least three matches. If the men in blue and green make it to the top two, cricket enthusiasts will definitely enjoy a dramatic finish to the series on September 11.
However, the finals won't be a walk in the park, as Afghanistan and Sri Lanka are tough opponents and have pulled out their big guns in crucial matches.
Here are the fixtures for the rest of the series:
Date | Match |
September 2 | Pakistan vs Hong Kong (Group A) |
September 3 | Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan |
September 4 | India vs TBD |
September 6 | India vs Sri Lanka |
September 7 | TBD vs Afghanistan |
September 8 | India vs Afghanistan |
September 9 | Sri Lanka vs TBD |
September 11 | TBC vs TBC (Final) |
The Sharjah Cricket Stadium has set records by hosting a remarkable 244 ODIs, 9 Tests and 28 T20Is. Previously, Sydney's Cricket Ground held the number one position, however, the Sri Lanka-Afghanistan clash took the Sharjah field to a new high.
Ravindra Jadeja recently became the highest wicket-taker in the Asia Cup series. He accomplished this during the Group A match of Hong Kong against India.
Right-arm fast bowler Haris Rauf is five wickets short of matching Shaheen Afridi's T20 International score of 47. If he does manage to make it in today's match with Hong Kong, it would have taken him five fewer innings than Afridi to get to the score.
With players of both teams playing well and gearing up for the upcoming T20 World Cup that is just around the corner, these matches are a dress rehearsal for the big games.
