Both the finalist teams of the Emerging Asia Cup 2024 being played on Omani soil have been decided. A team has created history by reaching the final for the first time. This is the first time in the history of the tournament that neither India nor Pakistan will be a part of the final. The tournament started from 18 October. India had proudly made it to the semi-finals by winning all three matches in the group stage. However, their dream of winning the title was shattered by the defeat against Afghanistan in the semi-finals. Afghanistan defeated India by 20 runs in the semi-finals and made it to the final of the Emerging Asia Cup for the first time. Batting first, Afghanistan scored 206 runs losing 4 wickets in 20 overs. In response, Team India could score only 186 runs after losing 7 wickets in 20 overs. In this way, India lost a great opportunity to reach the final for the second consecutive time.
On the other hand, by defeating Pakistan, Sri Lanka got the ticket for the final after 2018. Now two-time champion Sri Lanka will face Afghanistan in the final. Earlier, Lanka had won the Emerging Asia Cup title in 2017 and 2018. The final match of the tournament will be played on 27 October. In this match, Sri Lanka will have a chance to win the title for the third time while Afghanistan team would like to create a new history by winning the title for the first time.
