India vs Pakistan face off in Asia Cup final tonight

The final of the Asia Cup T20 2025 will be played today, featuring a historic clash as India and Pakistan meet in the final for the very first time in the 41-year history of the tournament.

India enter the title decider as the only unbeaten side of the competition, while Pakistan have had to overcome several ups and downs to make it this far. They’ve lost twice on the way—both times against India, once in the group stage and again in the Super Four. The final offers Pakistan a last chance at revenge.

Pakistan’s biggest challenge will be stopping Indian opener Abhishek Sharma, who has turned India’s batting into a dominant force throughout the tournament. While the middle order hasn’t been as intimidating, Abhishek has consistently given India explosive starts. Dismissing him early could ease Pakistan’s nerves.

Their real worry, however, lies in their own batting. Pakistan’s bowlers have largely carried the team, with the batting lineup struggling for form. Even in their semi-final win against Bangladesh, they managed only 135 runs. To beat India, Pakistan’s batters must step up.

Conditions in Dubai could also play a role. With dew likely in the evening, bowling in the second innings may become tricky, making the toss crucial. The captain winning it might prefer to bowl first.

An India–Pakistan clash is always loaded with rivalry, passion, and emotion. India’s dominance makes them favorites, but Pakistan’s hunger for redemption sets the stage for a thrilling contest.

The match takes place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium tonight, Sunday, at 8:30 PM Bangladesh time.
