**Asia Cup: Super Four Teams Confirmed as Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan & Bangladesh Advance**

**Dubai, UAE –** The Super Four stage lineup for the Asia Cup is now set after the conclusion of the group stage matches. Sri Lanka’s victory over Afghanistan in a crucial Group B encounter on Thursday secured their place in the next round, eliminating Afghanistan from contention. This result also propelled Bangladesh into the Super Four.

Sri Lanka needed just 101 runs to move on to the next round after Afghanistan scored 169 in their innings. But they won the match, in 19 overs, winning their third match in a row.

From Group A, cricketing powerhouses India and Pakistan had already secured their spots, setting the stage for another highly anticipated clash between the two rivals on September 21st in Dubai.

India’s Super Four schedule includes matches against Bangladesh on September 24th and Sri Lanka on September 26th. The top two teams from the Super Four stage will then battle it out in the final on September 28th in Dubai.

While one group stage match remains between India and Oman to be held today in Abu Dhabi, the result will not affect India’s progression to the Super Four. This allows the Indian team the opportunity to experiment with their playing XI and give chances to new players. All eyes are now on the Super Four stage as the battle for the Asia Cup intensifies.
