India–Pakistan Set for High-Voltage Asia Cup Clash on September 14
The stage is set for the biggest group-stage battle of the Asia Cup 2025 as arch-rivals India and Pakistan lock horns in the UAE on September 14.
India began their campaign with a commanding 9-wicket win over UAE, while Pakistan open their tournament journey today against Oman.
In the history of the Asia Cup, the two giants have faced each other 18 times, with India holding the edge at 10 wins to Pakistan’s 6, while 2 games ended without a result. Notably, in the last decade, Pakistan have managed just one victory in seven meetings.
India boast a record 8 Asia Cup titles, while Pakistan have won the trophy twice. Despite their dominance, the two teams have never clashed in a final.
Key battles to watch include Kuldeep Yadav and Hardik Pandya against Pakistan’s power-hitters, while Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf will test India’s young batting order. Former stars like Virat Kohli (476 runs) and Rohit Sharma (474 runs) lead the run-scoring charts against Pakistan in the tournament’s history, though both are absent this time following T20 retirements.
With history, pride and points at stake, fans worldwide await another chapter in one of cricket’s fiercest rivalries.
