Pakistan will face Afghanistan on 7 and Sri Lanka on 9 September. The final of the Asia Cup 2022 will be played on 11 September. To confirm its place in the final of Asia Cup 2022, Pakistan needs to win the remaining two matches.
Otherwise, there will be different possibilities if Pakistan wins only 1 out of the two remaining matches. If Pakistan loses both upcoming matches, Pakistan will be out of Asia Cup 2022.
