The India vs Pakistan 2025 Asia Cup Final will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 28. Team India has won the toss and has decided to bowl first. It was already predicted that the chasing team at this stadium would have a slight advantage. A good defending score on this pitch will be 180+ runs. This will be the first time in the Asia Cup’s 41-year history that Pakistan and India will face each other in the tournament’s final. Both teams have faced each other three times in this tournament, with Team India winning both matches.
The Asia Cup Final match will officially begin at 8:00 PM IST. Fans can watch this match on Sony Sports Network and Sony LIV. India is entering this final match unbeaten, having won all their Group Stages and Super Four matches, while Pakistan reached the final by beating Bangladesh in the semifinals.
The India-Pakistan matches were highly charged due to recent political tensions and a cross-border conflict earlier in May 2025. India’s captain, Suryakumar Yadav, confirmed that his team chose not to shake hands with Pakistan as a mark of protest. India won the earlier Super Fours T20 match against Pakistan by seven wickets, which Yadav described as a “perfect reply” to the situation.
