India Vs Pakistan On September 14: Asia Cup 2025 To Be Played In UAE - Check IND Schedule

Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chairman Mohsin Naqvi confirmed on Saturday (July 26, 2025) that the men's Asia Cup will be held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from September 9 to 28. As per the itinerary, which was revealed later, the marquee group match between India and Pakistan will be held at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday (September 14).

The arch-rivals are clubbed in the same group and are likely to face off again in a Super Four match on the following Sunday (September 21). India will start their campaign against UAE on September 10 and are likely to play all their matches in Dubai.

India, Pakistan, UAE and Oman are clubbed in group A, while Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Hong Kong are in group B. The ACC will allow 17-member squads for the 19-match tournament and matches will be played in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Naqvi, also chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to make a formal announcement.

“Hosting the ACC Men’s T20 Asia Cup 2025 in the UAE allows fans from across Asia to come together in a setting that mirrors our region’s incredible diversity. When crowds gather to witness the tournament’s unforgettable clashes, it will be a great reminder of cricket’s power to build bridges.

The ACC Men’s T20 Asia Cup is the marquee event of Asian cricket, and we are proud to present an expanded platform this year," Naqvi posted. “This year marks yet another milestone in ACC’s journey and a noteworthy development for cricket in Asia. With the inclusion of additional teams in the tournament, we are witnessing the game's boundaries expand, both geographically and competitively. This will be Asia Cup at its finest,” he added.

The venue of the continental event was decided at an ACC meeting on July 24. All 25 member countries attended the meeting.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India is the host of the tournament but it is being organized in the UAE as India and Pakistan have mutually agreed to compete only at neutral venues till 2027, due to prevailing cross-border tension between them.

This edition of Asia Cup will be held in the T20 international format, as is the convention with the next ICC global meet being T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
