India vs Pakistan, Asia Cup 2025: The India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 match witnessed an interesting moment ahead of the action at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, September 14.

The DJ at the iconic venue made a massive mistake, playing the wrong song instead of the Pakistan national anthem. The players were left a bit shocked. The track, which many fans on social media speculated to be "Jalebi Baby," played for a few seconds before the correct Pakistani anthem was eventually played.

Fans were quick to point out the blooper moment on social media and shared a few hilarious reactions and memes. Some even speculated if it was an intentional troll, with one fan posting, "BCCI trolled Pakistan by playing a rock song instead of their anthem."

After opting to bat first, Pakistan had a disappointing outing as they managed to reach 127/9 in their 20 overs. Having lost a few early wickets, Sahibzada Farhan recovered things for a while. He was the top run-getter for the Men in Green with a 40-run knock. On the other hand, Shaheen Afridi produced an impactful cameo to help Pakistan reach a fighting total.

He remained unbeaten on 33 runs in 16 balls on the back of four sixes. For India, Kuldeep Yadav was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets, whereas Axar Patel and Jasprit Bumrah found a couple of scalps each.

With an aim to maintain their respective winning run in the tournament, both teams fielded unchanged lineups.

"We were looking to bowl first, happy with it. We played just one strip away, which was a nice wicket and better to bat on in the night. It's humid, so hoping for some dew. Same team," Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav said at the toss.
