Dubai, Sep 28: India will aim for their ninth Asia Cup title when they face arch-rivals Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final on Sunday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Led by Suryakumar Yadav, India have maintained a perfect record in the tournament, winning all three Group A matches and all three Super Four games.
For the third consecutive Sunday, Dubai will host an intense India-Pakistan encounter. After a thrilling Super Over victory against Sri Lanka on Friday, attention now turns to pitch conditions and the possibility of rain affecting the final.
Weather outlook:
According to AccuWeather, there is no chance of rain in Dubai on Sunday, and the weather forecast for the reserve day (Monday, September 29) also predicts clear skies. No matches in the ongoing Asia Cup have been washed out so far.
If the match is washed out:
In the unlikely event of a rain washout on both the scheduled and reserve days, the Asia Cup title will be shared by India and Pakistan, marking the first time the trophy would be jointly held.
Pitch report:
Dubai pitches have generally been slower compared to Abu Dhabi, but Friday’s India-Sri Lanka clash turned into a high-scoring thriller, with both teams crossing 200 runs. The pitch for the final is expected to offer similar conditions, setting the stage for a blockbuster India-Pakistan showdown.
Fans can expect a spectacular contest with both teams vying for cricketing supremacy in Asia.
