The Group stages are done with Bangladesh A coming top of Group A, finishing above Sri Lanka A, Afghanistan A and Hong Kong although three of the teams ended on four points with Hong Kong on zero points!
As for Group B, UAE were the only team without any points on the board with Oman coming in third place on two points before India A on four and Pakistan A top of the table.
So now it's the semi-finals with most hoping for a repeat of the Group B fixture in the final - India A vs Pakistan A.
Nothing is confirmed though - and Bangladesh A will fancy their chances of going through in this game.

India A have a brilliant batting line-up and most expect them to be able to beat Bangladesh A in this semi-final on Friday in Doha at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium.
Harsh Dubey hit an unbeaten half-century in the last game while Naman Dhir hit 30 runs from 19 balls - both players able to hit maximums in the last match.
With the ball, expect Gurjapneet Singh and Suyash Sharma to be the main threat while the rest of the bowling attack can all threaten the opposition batters.
India A will need to be at their best or Bangladesh A will be ready to pounce!

It will be hot once again in Doha with the temperature in the mid to high twenties. No rain but plenty of humidity across the final stages of the game are expected.
The West End Park International Cricket Stadium is a fine batting track although there is plenty of assistance for the quicks. A par total will be in the region of 165.
This pitch has not been overly easy to bat on but we still predict that both captains will want to bat first if they call correctly ahead of this semi-final in Doha.
