Team India will take on arch-rivals Pakistan in match number six of Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, September 14. This will be the second match for both sides in Group A. Both India and Pakistan got their campaigns off to winning starts.
The Men in Blue thumped hosts UAE by nine wickets in their opening match in Dubai. Bowling first after winning the toss, Team India knocked over UAE from a paltry 57 in 13.1 overs. Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav starred with 4-7, while Shivam Dube also impressed with 3-4. In the chase, India romped home in just 4.3 overs, registering their fastest T20I win in terms of overs.
India left frontline pacer Arshdeep Singh out of the playing XI for the match against UAE. Hardik Pandya opened the bowling with Jasprit Burmah, while the line-up featured three spinners in Varun Chakaravarthy, Axar Patel and Kuldeep. It would be interesting to see whether India make any changes for the Pakistan game.
