Traditional rivals India and Pakistan will not face each other in the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup 2022. However, India and Pakistan can still renew their rivalry in the summit clash of the Asia Cup. India and Pakistan are favourites to secure the top two spots in the Super 4 stage which will secure their berths for the final. It should be noted that points earned by teams from the opening group stage do not carry over for the ongoing Super 4 phase of the Asia Cup. Thus, the top two teams of the round-robin stage will enter the final of the Asia Cup 2022.
