Asia Cup 2025 Final, IND vs PAK Dubai Stadium Pitch Report: India and Pakistan will meet for one final time, this time for the prize in the Asia cup summit clash on Sunday. This is the third time that the two teams will face off, having taken on each other in the group stage as well as the Super 4s, with India convincingly defeating Pakistan on both occasions.
This will also be the first time that these two Asia powerhouses meet in an Asia Cup final match, having evaded each other in the last 17 editions. India are in impeccable form but will be wary that the head to head clashes in finals slightly favour the Men in Green 3-2. But with India going strength to strength in recent years and Pakistan in doldrums, it’s going to be an interesting watch to see if Salman Agha and Co can spring the proverbial rabbit out of the hat when it matters the most.
