The most anticipated match of the Asia Cup 2025 is here, where two arch-rivals will be clashing out in a high-intensity battle. The seventh match of the tournament will see defending champions, India, taking on Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on 14th September.
Probably one of the most favourite teams going into this tournament, as they are a powerhouse in the shortest format of the game. The Men in Blue started with a phenomenal 9-wicket victory in their tournament opener against the UAE. The duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Shivam Dube wreaked havoc, clinching 7 wickets together, where Kuldeep grabbed 4 and Dube scalped 3. Later, they chased the 58-run target within 4.3 overs. Abhishek Sharma scored 30 runs, and Gill remained unbeaten on 20 off just 9 deliveries. This win boosted their net run rate by +10. 483 and is currently sitting atop Group A.
Pakistan, on the other hand, started their Asia Cup tournament on a commanding note. They defeated Oman by 93 runs in their opening match. Mohammad Haris helped the team reach a challenging total of 160 runs in their first innings, and later they bowled out Oman for just 67 runs. Saim Ayub, Sufiyam Muqeem and Faheem Ashraf took two wickets each. They are sitting at the second spot in the Group A leaderboard.

The venue at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is mostly favourable for the spinners. The average first innings total in this format is just 145, which depicts that scoring and playing freely won't be an easy choice. However, since it is a day-night game, the ball can move under the light, and batters will be able to play only if they get settled at the crease.
The weather is expected to remain clear throughout the entire match, with no rain predicted. The conditions are expected to be warm for this match, with the highest temperature expected to hit nearly 40°C during the day. However, as night falls, the temperature will plummet to a minimum of 34°C.

Suryakumar's India has been in dominating force in the shortest format of the game, and hence they are favorable to win this match. Moreover, we cannot underestimate Pakistan in this format; they are in superb form coming into this match. This should be a cracker of a game.
