Historic Showdown Awaits Cricket Fans Worldwide
The highly anticipated final of the Asia Cup 2025 will see arch-rivals India and Pakistan face off at the Dubai International Stadium this Sunday, with the action set to begin at 8:00 PM IST. This grand finale marks the first-ever final meeting between the two cricketing giants in the history of the continental championship.
India’s Impressive Run to the Final
The Men in Blue have been in imperious form throughout the tournament, winning all three of their matches en route to the final. Their dominance includes two convincing victories over Pakistan, one in the group stage and another in the Super 4s.
