The Asia Cup 2025 has reached its climax with India and Pakistan set to clash in the final on Sunday, September 28, in Dubai. The T20 tournament, serving as a lead-up to the T20 World Cup co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, highlighted the importance of finishers, players tasked with closing out games in high-pressure situations. Here, let us assess the designated finishers of the Super Four teams based on their performances so far.

Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been India’s go-to finisher. While his bowling has been tidy, his impact with the bat has been modest. He was tasked with finishing games, and managed just 48 runs in the tournament.

His standout contribution came against Bangladesh in the Super Four stage, where he scored 38 off 29 balls. Outside this innings, his contributions have been limited, resulting in an overall average showing. Despite the underwhelming numbers, his experience in handling pressure situations keeps him pivotal for India in the final.
