The Asia Cup 2025 enters its most intense phase as arch-rivals India and Pakistan gear up for their Super 4 clash in Dubai. The match will be played on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at the Dubai International Stadium and promises to be one of the most watched cricket events of the year.
Road to Super 4
India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, have been in commanding form. The Men in Blue booked their spot in the Super 4 with clinical victories against the UAE and Pakistan during the group stage. They will also face Oman before entering this marquee battle. The squad’s balance of youth and experience, featuring talents like Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah, has made them strong contenders for another Asia Cup crown.
Pakistan’s journey, however, has been far less straightforward. Under the captaincy of Salman Ali Agha, the team faced drama off the field with the controversial “handshake row” but managed to secure qualification with a hard-fought 41-run victory over the UAE. Despite the absence of senior stars Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan’s side remains competitive with match-winners such as Shaheen Afridi, Fakhar Zaman, and Haris Rauf.
India vs Pakistan Rivalry
The India–Pakistan rivalry is one of cricket’s greatest narratives. In T20 internationals, India leads the head-to-head 9–3. The last meeting between the two teams came at the 2024 T20 World Cup in New York, where India edged Pakistan by six runs thanks to Jasprit Bumrah’s match-winning spell. On the Asia Cup stage (ODIs and T20Is combined), India has won 10 matches, Pakistan six, with three matches abandoned.
This historical context adds weight to Sunday’s contest, where bragging rights, momentum, and a Super 4 advantage are all at stake.
