Cricket’s greatest rivalry resumes as India and Pakistan face off in a blockbuster Asia Cup 2025 Group A match at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday, September 14. With the series delicately poised and both teams in transition, this encounter could define the group standings and set the tone for the knockout stage.

With senior stalwarts like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli stepping away from T20Is, and Pakistan moving on from Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, the spotlight shifts to new captains. Suryakumar Yadav leads India, while Salman Ali Agha shoulders Pakistan’s responsibility. Both sides are packed with youthful energy and determined to stamp authority in this high-pressure clash.

India enter as favourites after a dominant run, including a clean sweep against UAE. The batting order features Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, and Sanju Samson, supported by all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube. With Jasprit Bumrah spearheading the pace attack and Kuldeep Yadav alongside Varun Chakaravarthy providing spin variety, India look well-balanced.

Pakistan boast a young yet dynamic squad. Saim Ayub and Hasan Nawaz bring promise, while veteran Fakhar Zaman adds stability. Their biggest edge is bowling, led by left-arm quick Shaheen Afridi and a potent spin trio of Abrar Ahmed, Sufiyan Muqeem and Mohammad Nawaz.
