Earlier, Pakistan’s top order batters, particularly Sahibzada Farhan who top-scored with 58, had ridden their luck in a game where Indian fielders–Abhishek Sharma (twice), Kuldeep Yadav, Shubman Gill and Shivam Dube–dropped five catches between them. After scoring 91/1 in the first 10 overs, Pakistan were in freefall in the Super 4 clash with India, losing three quick wickets to find themselves at 115/4 in 15 overs.
India vs Pakistan Playing 11 for Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 Today Match
Once again, there was no handshake between captains Suryakumar Yadav and Salman Ali Agha at the toss on Sunday. The India captain won the toss and opted to bowl first in the Super 4 of the Asia Cup 2025. It’s been a week since India and Pakistan faced off in a group stage game of the Asia Cup in UAE. The game was the first time the two arch-rivals faced off in a cricket match after the heinous Pahalgam terror attacks and the consequent Operation Sindoor from Indian armed forces. If the build up to that game was shrouded in controversy, with criticism from many quarters in India for playing the game at all, the narrative almost flipped from the moment both captains stepped out for the toss. There has been plenty of drama since the Indians, led by captain Suryakumar Yadav, refused to shake hands with their Pakistan counterparts. Press conferences have been boycotted, a game has been played with a one-hour delay after threats of Pakistan boycotting the tournament itself, there have been calls to sideline the match referee Andy Pycroft, and there has been a reprimand from ICC for the way the PCB has handled matters. Now comes the second part of the saga as India and Pakistan face each other once again on Sunday, this time in the Super 4 stage of the 2025 Asia Cup.
On the pitch itself, the last fixture between the two sides reflected the gulf in quality between them at the moment. India cruised to a seven-wicket victory, with Pakistan hardly ever looking capable of even posing a challenge to the reigning world champions.
Players from the two teams have famously been friendly with each other on the field regardless of the relationship between the two nations. However, that was broken by the on-field coldness that was on display in the first match of this tournament between them. It remains to be seen whether this will continue to be the case in the Super 4 as well.

A week of drama, suspense and negotiations later, India and Pakistan return to Dubai, the site that kicked off a chapter of unwanted hostility in an epic rivalry last week. Between the two Sundays, much has changed. The evenings are sweatier, the nights are cooler, tourists have begun to trickle and bask in the autumnal sunshine, Pakistan hammered the UAE, Afghanistan crashed out and Oman scared India.
