India’s Path to the Semi-Finals in the Rising Stars Asia Cup 2025 Explained
The Rising Stars Asia Cup 2025 is an important tournament for cricketing nations. India’s pathway to the semi-finals depends heavily on their upcoming match against Oman.
India’s Group B Performance in the Rising Stars Asia Cup 2025
The tournament is taking place in Doha, Qatar, from November 14 to November 23. Eight teams are divided into two groups, and the top two from each group will advance to the knockout stage.
- Venues: West End Park International Cricket Stadium
- Dates: November 14-23, 2025
- Key Teams: India-A, Pakistan-A, UAE
Current Standings
As of now, India-A has played two matches in Group B. Their performance includes a significant victory against the UAE, winning by 148 runs, followed by a disappointing defeat against Pakistan-A, losing by 8 wickets. With only 2 points gained from these two games, India-A is currently ranked second in their group.
Qualification Scenarios for India-A
India-A faces critical scenarios in order to secure a semi-final berth:
- If India-A beats Oman: They will qualify as the second team from Group B. If Pakistan-A loses their last match against UAE, India-A could end up leading the group.
- If India-A loses to Oman: A defeat would leave India-A with only 2 points from three matches. Oman would then qualify with 4 points.
- If the match is washed out: India-A, possessing a better net run rate than Oman, would still qualify.
Upcoming Semi-Final Schedule
The semi-finals are scheduled for November 21 at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium. The timings are as follows:
- First Semi-Final: 3 PM IST – Top of Group A vs. Runner-up from Group B
- Second Semi-Final: 8 PM IST – Top of Group B vs. Runner-up from Group A
The final match will also occur at the same venue on November 23, starting at 8 PM IST.
