Asia Cup 2025 Final: India Faces Pakistan in a Historic Matchup

The India vs. Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 final is generating intense excitement. The match, scheduled to commence at 8 PM in Dubai, marks a rare occasion – the first time in 41 years that these two teams will face off in an Asia Cup final. Abhishek Sharma’s recent form has been outstanding, scoring his third consecutive T20I half-century in a previous match, a feat only previously achieved by Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Suryakumar Yadav. Sharma now has the opportunity to set a new record. Sharma currently holds the position of third-highest run-scorer in the T20 Asia Cup with 309 runs, trailing behind Pathum Nissanka (434) and Virat Kohli (429), yet maintaining a significantly higher strike rate. Arshdeep Singh recently achieved a milestone as the first Indian to claim 100 T20I wickets. Hardik Pandya is slated to return to the team after a recovery from cramps. Pakistan’s Haris Rauf is close to becoming the highest wicket-taker in T20 Asia Cup history, currently sharing the top spot with Wanindu Hasaranga with 17 wickets. Kuldeep Yadav leads the current tournament’s wicket charts with 13 wickets.
