The stage is set for a blockbuster finale as the two giants of Asian age-group cricket, India U19 and Pakistan U19, clash in the ACC Men’s U19 Asia Cup 2025 Final at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai.

After a grueling tournament, these two rivals meet again, just a week after their high-stakes group-stage encounter. India enters the final as the only undefeated team, while Pakistan has shown immense resilience to fight back and secure their spot in the title clash.

India holds the psychological edge, having defeated Pakistan by 90 runs in the group stage on December 14. In that game, India’s bowling depth and Aaron George’s middle-order heroics proved too much for the Boys in Green.

The pitch at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai typically offers a well-balanced surface that provides a true and consistent bounce, favoring top-order batters who are comfortable playing through the line early in the innings. As the match progresses and the Dubai sun dries out the surface, the pitch tends to slow down and offer grip, making the middle overs a tactical battle where spinners become crucial for controlling the run rate. Historically, this venue favors the team batting first, as the surface can become slightly more difficult to bat on in the second innings once it wears.
