Team India and Pakistan will clash for the third time in the 2025 edition of Asia Cup as the two teams will battle it out in the final for the first time in the history of the tournament. With winner takes all battle between the the two sides, the Dubai international Stadium will be expected to be jampacked for the marquee clash on September 28, Sunday.

The Men in Blue have been in ominous form throughout the tournament and have arguably been the team to beat. Abhishek Sharma's impressive form at the top has set the tone for them on more occasions than one but India's middle-order and fielding have been volatile in the last few games. They still have enough firepower and nous to beat Pakistan in the final.

Pakistan, meanwhile, will have drawn confidence from their wins over Sri Lanka and Bangladesh as they grinded for victories despite being somewhere behind in those games. The biggest challenge for the Men in Green will be to counter Abhishek Sharma, who has put their bowlers to the sword. Even if they manage to get Abhishek out early, Pakistan will have plenty gun batters waiting for them.

Hence, Pakistan must stay focused until the final ball.
