Sunday’s match at Dubai offers high stakes despite muted fanfare
India face Pakistan in a highly anticipated Asia Cup 2025 Group A clash on Sunday, September 14, at Dubai International Stadium. Get IND vs PAK T20I head-to-head record and match prediction ahead of the big showdown.
India enter the contest as overwhelming favorites, boasting a balanced and star-studded squad, including Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah, and Suryakumar Yadav. However, political tensions and calls for a boycott have dampened the excitement surrounding the fixture.
Despite that, this historic rivalry holds weight, especially with a T20 World Cup around the corner. Expect India to impose their dominance with a well-oiled strategy focusing on aggressive batting and experienced spinners.
Pakistan, led by Salman Ali Agha, have restructured their approach by giving chances to young talent like Saim Ayub and Hasan Nawaz, moving away from established players such as Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. Although underdogs, Pakistan’s familiarity with UAE conditions and the presence of wicket-taker Shaheen Afridi could challenge India’s firepower.
India and Pakistan have faced each other 13 times in T20 Internationals. India leads the series with 10 wins, while Pakistan has secured 3 victories. Their most recent encounter was on June 9, 2024, in New York, where India won by 6 runs.
Notably, in the 2021 T20 World Cup at the same venue, Pakistan delivered a commanding 10-wicket victory over India. India bounced back in their subsequent meetings in Melbourne, T20 World Cup 2022 and New York, T20 World Cup 2024.
