One of the most iconic and high-intensity clashes between two rivals is here, where India and Pakistan will be clashing out in a high-intensity battle of the Asia Cup Super Fours 2025. The 14th match of the tournament has been scheduled at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on 21st September.
Defending champions India are set to face their arch-rivals Pakistan for the second time in the tournament, but in a more intense clash this time. They had beaten them by 6 wickets in the league stage, and are coming into this match on the back of a convincing 21-run victory over Oman in their last group stage fixture. They topped Group A with three out of three victories and a perfect six points. In the last match against Oman, India tested their middle order strength where Sanju Samson got to play his first innings in this tournament and scored a brilliant fifty. The top order is currently looking solid with Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill at the top, but Gill's form might be concerning for the team. Jasprit Bumrah will return for this match after the star pacer was rested against Oman.
Pakistan, on the other hand, must be itching to avenge their last match defeat and disrespect. This match is going to be more intense this time with so many things at the stake. They became the second team to qualify for the Super Fours from Group A after they defeated the UAE by 41 runs in their last outing. However, their only major concern is their opening duo of Sahibzada Farhan and Saiyam Ayub. The explosive duo has failed to put an impressive mark collectively, but Farhan was the standout performer against India in the last match, whereas Saim Ayub is yet to open his run account after scoring three consecutive ducks in the tournament.

The venue at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is mostly favourable for the spinners, as it is quite evident from the match that are being played here. The average first innings total in this format is just 140, which depicts that scoring and playing freely won't be an easy choice, especially against the turn. 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 and warm 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, at night, the temperature is likely to drop to nearly 32°C.
