India (IND) will face Pakistan (PAK) in the Asia Cup 2025 final on Sunday, September 28, at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. This will be the third and final encounter between the two sides in the prestigious T20I series, and the fourth overall at this venue in 2025. However, for the first time in the Asia Cup’s 41-year existence, India and Pakistan will face off in a final, adding to the tension.
So far, the Men in Blue have had an undefeated campaign, winning all six of their matches, including two victory over Pakistan in the group stage and again in the Super Four stage. Riding on this momentum, the Suryakumar Yadav-led team will look to defeat their archrivals once more and win their record-extending ninth Asia Cup title.
Pakistan, on the other hand, has had a stop-start approach. They only lost to India, but they won all of their other matches, some handily, others by razor-thin margins, giving their fans enough to cheer about. The Men in Green are determined to turn the tables this time and win their third Asia Cup title, the first since 2012.

Pitch Report
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium has generally favoured batters, but bowlers have also found success by maintaining tight lines and lengths to restrict the scoring. The team winning the toss is likely to opt for chasing, as conditions tend to support batting in the latter stages of the game, provided the side can hold its ground and build partnerships.
