India vs Pakistan, Super Fours, Match 14th – Who Will Win Today In The Asia Cup 2025?

India and Pakistan were to have yet another meet in the Asia Cup 2025, at the Super Four stage no less, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on the 21st of September. The Men in Blue are at their dominance in the tournament, having won three matches in a row. A narrow 21-run victory over Oman in the last encounter meant that the Men in Blue tested the strength of their bench and gave several players a chance, most of whom hadn’t batted much previously.

However, now with Suryakumar Yadav at the helm, the Indian batsmen have been quite impressive, their bowlers making sure of the triumphs too. Kuldeep Yadav took 3 wickets during the previous match, along with Axar Patel and Jasprit Bumrah taking 2 wickets each, thus restricting Pakistan to 127/9.

The Pakistan team started the tournament on a somewhat mixed note. They had defeated Oman by 93 runs, by a contrasting margin, were defeated by India by 7 wickets, and then won another very important game by 41 runs against UAE.

There must surely be some tension in the camp, especially after India declined to shake hands with Pakistan players following the Pahalgam attack in their last encounter.

India vs. Pakistan—Super Four Match Analysis

India’s Strengths

Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy continues delivering dominant performances with three consecutive victories, building unstoppable tournament momentum. The bowling attack’s clinical execution, Kuldeep Yadav’s 3-wicket haul, and Bumrah-Axar’s precision, has systematically dismantled opposition batting lineups while maintaining pressure throughout innings.

India’s Weaknesses

Overconfidence from commanding a head-to-head record (11-3) might breed complacency against familiar opposition in the crucial Super Four stage. Bench experimentation against Oman potentially disrupted winning combinations and rhythm, while managing player workload and rotation could weaken team cohesion in high-pressure knockout-style encounters.

Pakistan’s Strengths

The recent 41-run victory over the UAE demonstrates resilient comeback ability after suffering defeat, showcasing mental fortitude under pressure. Familiar Dubai conditions and experience in high-stakes India encounters provide tactical advantages, while a nothing-to-lose mentality in the Super Four elimination scenario could unleash aggressive, fearless cricket performances.

Pakistan’s Weaknesses

Catastrophic batting collapse restricted to 127/9 against India’s bowling attack exposes fundamental technical vulnerabilities against quality spin-pace combinations. Inconsistent tournament form with mixed results reflects confidence issues and strategic confusion, while historical dominance deficit (11-3) creates psychological pressure in crucial elimination encounters.
