India and Pakistan will play each other in the final of the Asia Cup 2025 T20 tournament. The match is on Sunday, September 28, at Dubai International Stadium, starting at 8:00 PM IST.

Why Is This Match Special?

This is the first time ever that India and Pakistan are meeting in an Asia Cup final, even though the rivalry is very old. Both teams are very strong, and the stadium will be filled with excitement. The match will be shown live on TV channels like Sony Sports Network and streaming apps.

Team Form and How They Reached the Final

India has played very well and won all their matches in the tournament so far. Their team is in good form with strong batting and bowling. Pakistan also did well and reached the final after defeating Bangladesh, but they lost earlier matches to India.

Key Players to Watch

India:

Suryakumar Yadav (Captain): Hit shots all over the field, dangerous in T20 cricket.
Shubman Gill: Makes fast runs in the beginning.
Abhishek Sharma: Scored most runs for India in this tournament.
Hardik Pandya: Great in batting and bowling.
Kuldeep Yadav: Good spinner who takes wickets.

Pakistan:

Salman Ali Agha (Captain): Controls the middle order.
Fakhar Zaman: Hits big shots in opening.
Shaheen Afridi: Fast bowler who takes early wickets.
Shadab Khan: Spinner who also bats well.

What’s The Pitch Like?

Dubai’s pitch makes it easier for batsmen to score runs, but bowlers have a chance if they bowl well in the early overs. Teams often prefer to chase because the ball comes nicely onto the bat later in the game, especially if dew makes things slippery.
