New Delhi: The biggest match of the Asia Cup 2025 will be played between India and Pakistan on September 14 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Fans have been waiting for this clash for a long time. Both teams won their first matches India beat UAE by 9 wickets in their first match while Pakistan beat Oman to open the tournament. However the performance of both teams was quite different from each other. Indias victory: Bowlers did amazingly The Indian team won against UAE in just 27 balls. Kuldeep Yadavs spin and Jasprit Bumrahs accurate yorkers kept the opposition at bay. Arshdeeps return may change the team India may include Arshdeep Singh in the squad against Pakistan. In such a situation the place of Shivam Dube who took 3 wickets in the last match is in danger. Hardik Pandyas role will be important Hardik Pandya is already there in the role of a pace all-rounder. With the entry of Arshdeep Hardik can strengthen the bowling as the third fast bowler. Spin department fully prepared The pairing of Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy strengthens Indias spin strength. Axar Patel maintains the balance in the team as the spin all-rounder. Batting becomes Pakistans weak link The Pakistan team looked to be struggling against Oman. The top order was a complete failure with Salman Agha and Saim Ayub exiting without opening an account. Pakistan’s comeback with bowling Pakistan’s bowling looked strong against Oman. All the bowlers took wickets and the team reduced the opposition to 67 runs. Haris Raufs return could create balance The return of Haris Rauf could make the Pakistani bowling even more lethal but he may have to replace Sufiyan Muqeem or Abrar Ahmed to be included in the squad.
