The Asia Cup 2025 launches in the United Arab Emirates on September 9, setting the stage for a thrilling T20 tournament. All eyes are on the highly anticipated India vs. Pakistan showdown in Dubai on September 14—the first cricket meeting between the rivals since the May conflict.
Eight teams will vie for supremacy across venues in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Pakistan opens its campaign against Oman before the blockbuster face-off in Group A, which also includes the host UAE and India.
Legends like Wasim Akram have urged players and fans alike to uphold discipline and sportsmanship amid heightened anticipation. The format allows for the possibility of up to three India–Pakistan matches—group stage, Super Four, and potentially the final.
This edition of the Asia Cup doubles as vital preparation for the T20 World Cup in early 2026, offering Pakistan both opportunity and momentum heading into the global stage.
