The Big Story: Pakistan and India Miss the Cup
Two of cricket's biggest names will not be in the main final. Pakistan, champions last year for a record sixth time, lost to the UAE on Day 1 and finished second in their group. They have won every game since, and will be favourites in the Plate Final against Oman.
India, led by Krunal Pandya, have had a tournament to forget. They lost to Pakistan and the UAE in the group, then to England by 3 runs in the Bowl semi-final, and now face Bangladesh in the 11th/12th place play-off.
