Asia Cup 2022: India vs Afghanistan - Interesting statistical trivia
Afghanistan on Wednesday meant two things - The Asia Cup 2022 final line-up was decided (Sri Lanka vs Pakistan) and it knocked the other two teams, India and Afghanistan, out of the tournament, with two 'Super 4' matches still to be played.
