Pakistan is expected to go unchanged in the high-voltage Asia Cup 2025 final match against India being played at the Dubai International Stadium from 8:00 PM onwards.
India wins toss and decide to bowl first.
India enters the final undefeated, having already beaten Pakistan twice in the group and Super Four stages. Led by Suryakumar Yadav, the Men in Blue have relied heavily on Abhishek Sharma, who’s been in blistering form with a strike rate above 200.
Final score
PAK 146 (19.1)
IND 150/5 (19.4)
India won by 5 wkts
If Hardik Pandya remains unavailable, India could face a tough challenge filling his all-rounder role. Bringing in Arshdeep Singh—who clinched the Super Over win against Sri Lanka—adds firepower to the bowling attack, but it would weaken the lower-order batting.
To balance the lineup, India may opt to field just one legspinner, preserving depth without compromising too much on spin.
Since the start of 2024, India have been dominant in T20 Internationals. They’ve won 34 out of 37 matches, including three thrilling wins in Super Overs.

Pitch Report
The Dubai pitch has evolved throughout the tournament. Initially slow and spinner-friendly, it offered better stroke-play conditions in the India vs Sri Lanka Super Four match. For the final, expect a surface that rewards batters who settle in, while still offering grip for spinners and movement for seamers early on6.
Dew Factor: Minimal impact so far, but captains may still prefer chasing.
Weather Forecast: Daytime highs of 40°C, cooling to 31°C by evening. Dry heat and humidity could test player stamina.
