India will square off against Pakistan in the Group A of the Asia Cup 2025 and the match will be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai on September 14 at 08:00 PM IST.
The two sides have momentum on their side and they will look to continue the winning momentum that has propelled both team in dominant manner. India thrashed UAE by 9 wickets as they chased down the meager 57 in only 4.3 overs, and Pakistan pulverized Oman by 93 runs to show their depth in batting and bowling. India have beaten Pakistan in seven of their last 10 games and would want to carry forward the momentum in one of world sports most celebrated rivalries.
For India, players like Abhishek Sharma and Shivam Dube have been consistent performers, while Kuldeep Yadav's spin has been lethal, already bagging 4 wickets in the tournament. Pakistan will depend on Mohammad Haris, who scored 66 runs in their opening match, and the pace attack led by young talent Sufiyan Muqeem, who has been economical and effective.

The pitch is known for its fast and bouncy nature, with average batting conditions. Bowlers, especially pacers, can extract movement early, while spinners will find some grip in the middle overs. Teams will need to adapt quickly, and setting a target around 160+ could be competitive on this surface.

Pakistan Playing XI:
Best Batsman Prediction
Mohammad Haris (Pakistan)
Matches: 1, Runs: 66, HS: 66
Haris' assault during Pakistan's opening match is an indicator of his form and the ability to steady or explode innings. He's Pakistan best bet in this match for a match winning knock.
Best Bowler Prediction
Kuldeep Yadav (India)
Matches: 1, Wickets: 4
Possessing the art of attrition in spin, with a penchant for breaking partnerships, Kuldeep is India's bankable bowler. His variations are going to be key in restricting Pakistan's scoring on this track.
IND vs PAK Match Prediction – Who Will Win Today's Match
A powerful batting line-up of Abhishek Sharma and Shivam Dube and wicket-taking spin of Kuldeep Yadav make them slight favorites. Pakistan's aggressive batsmen, Mohammed Haris and Sahibzada Farhan with a flexible bowling unit will give a hard time. This is going to be a thriller, but recent form suggests that it's India who have their noses in front.
Prediction: India to win.
