IND vs PAK Asia Cup 2025: India will lock horns with Pakistan during their second Asia Cup match in Dubai on Sunday. The high-octane clash would be held at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, and it's the same venue where the Men in Blue had beaten Pakistan by six wickets during the Champions Trophy clash. During that match, star batter Virat Kohli had smashed an unbeaten hundred and was also adjudged the Player of the match award.
The Suryakumar Yadav-led side will try to repeat the heroics against arch-rivals Pakistan and will aim to reach the Super Fours of the ongoing tournament.
But the Men in Blue will face a daunting task in Dubai since Pakistan has a better record against them. They have won two of three T20Is against arch rivals India, who are being held here.

They then locked horns with each other twice in the 2022 Asia Cup, where both teams won one match apiece.
