Team India are scheduled to face arch-rivals Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 in a high-octane clash in Dubai on Sunday, September 14. The two teams are likely to face each other for the first time following the 2024 T20 World Cup, subject to the government’s nod amid the ongoing geopolitical tensions between the two countries.
