IND vs PAK Live Cricket Score: Emotions Peak As India, Pakistan All Set For Controversial Blockbuster Clash Amid Boycott Calls

“Enjoy, it’s a game of cricket. Forget about everything other than cricket. One team will win and one team will lose. Just enjoy the moment if you win the game. Pressure will come, enjoy that and show discipline because this is just a game. I enjoyed every game against India and so did players from the opposition," Akram said while speaking to AFP.

“Pakistan have a chance as they won a tri-series last week. They shouldn’t think that we just need to win against India, but should think of winning the Asia Cup. You can lose to a big team, but even then, stand up and play well in the tournament," Akram said.

"I don't want to say anything. Unfortunate that this match is happening. I'm very sad. How can you watch it? I said earlier that I would boycott this match. I also said that I will personally boycott the entire Asia Cup and I'm not watching it. From Pulwama to Pahalgam, there are so many terrorist attacks and everyone knows where these terrorists come from and despite that, you have to play this match," Tiwary told IANS

Pakistan's last victory over India in the Asia Cup T20 format was in the 2022 edition, specifically in the Super Four clash. In Dubai, Pakistan chased down India's score of 181/7 with one ball to spare, winning by 5 wickets.

The toss for the high-octane clash between two rivals, India and Pakistan, will take place at 7:30 PM IST, while the match begins at 8:00 PM IST.

India probable XI vs Pakistan: Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Sanju Samson (wk), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah.

Pakistan enters today's high-stakes clash against India after a commanding 93-run victory over Oman in their Group A opener.

The pitch is expected to be slow, suiting spin bowlers. India is likely to field 3 spinners. Dew is expected later. If the captain wins the toss, they'll probably bat first.

“We are obviously aware of the strong feelings back home. Gauti’s message has been to stay professional, stay emotionless, and focus on the one game in front of us. Individuals may have different feelings, but the team’s approach is to concentrate on cricket,” coach Ryan ten Doeschate said at the pre-match press conference.

“This is a very sensitive issue. The Asia Cup was in limbo for a long time. At one stage we thought we wouldn’t be coming. Now that we’re here, the players have to put those emotions behind and get on with their job," he added.

India started their Asia Cup 2025 campaign with a nine-wicket win over the UAE as they chased down the target of 58 runs in 4.3 overs.

Number of match played (both ODI and T20I): 19
