The Asia Cup 2025 will see its most exciting match so far when Pakistan play India at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday night. The game starts at 7:30 PM PKT.
Pakistan are coming into this match after a big 93‑run win over Hong Kong. It was a complete team performance, the batters scored quickly, and the bowlers didn’t give the opposition a chance. Captain Salman Ali Agha is leading a team that mixes experienced players with young talent.
The fast‑bowling attack of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Hasan Ali is one of the best in the tournament. Spinners Abrar Ahmed and Sufiyan Muqeem add variety, while batters like Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, and Mohammad Haris can change the game in just a few overs.
India also won their first match against UAE, but Pakistan’s big win and their strong record in Dubai give them extra confidence. Fans still remember the 2022 Asia Cup in Dubai, when Pakistan chased down 182 against India in style.
In T20 cricket, India lead the head‑to‑head 9‑3, but Pakistan’s wins have been unforgettable. As olympics.com says about this rivalry, few matches in world sport have this much passion and attention.
A win here would help Pakistan move closer to the Super Four stage and give their fans another reason to celebrate.
