IND vs PAK Asia Cup 2025 Final Match Date, Time: Suryakumar Yadav’s India will lock horns with Salman Agha’s Pakistan in the final of the Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Sunday. Before the final, both sides had met twice in the tournament, and India had managed to win in both games.
India, by far, has been the best team in this tournament. Although they have remained unbeaten, the side has yet to play at its full potential. It has been Abhishek Sharma with the bat who has been firing on all cylinders, while other batters are yet to make a meaningful contribution in the tournament.
Pakistan, on the other hand, has been quite shaky in their batting department, but their bowlers have saved the blushes for them through various stages of the campaign. One huge positive for Pakistan, though, is the return to form of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf, who are their strike weapons with the ball.

Here’s a look at all the details
Predicted XIs
IND predicted XI’s: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson(wk), Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarthy
Key player to watch out for: Abhishek Sharma is the top run-getter in the tournament so far with 309 runs at an average of 51.50. His starts in the powerplay have not only rattled the opposition but also ensured that the batters who follow him in the middle order have some time to get adjusted to the sluggish nature of the Dubai pitches.

PAK predicted XI: Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan, Fakhar Zaman, Salman Agha (c), Hussain Talat, Mohammad Haris (wk), Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed
Key player to watch out: Shaheen Shah Afridi vs Abhishek Sharma has been quite an intriguing battle this tournament so far. On both occasions, Abhishek had the upper hand, but in the game against Sri Lanka, Shaheen has got back his rhythm and is bowling well so the battle this time might be a little different and if the Pakistan ace bowler does manage to strike early it will be intresting to see how the rest of the Indian batting would react in pressure game.

India vs Pakistan pitch report
The pitches in Dubai have been on the slower side compared to what we have seen in Abu Dhabi. But on Friday, when India met Sri Lanka, it was a nice wicket with the ball coming nicely onto the bat, and we might see a similar wicket with a bit of help for the bowlers on Sunday. Both teams have all bases covered from a bowling perspective, regardless of the pitch that will be presented for the final.
India vs Pakistan weather report
According to the Accuweather app, the maximum temperature on Sunday is 40 degrees centigrade, which will drop down to 31 degrees centigrade. So far in the tournament, there has been little dew interruption in games, hence it will be a tricky decision for the captains to decide whether to bat first or bowl first if they win the toss.
