IND Vs PAK Live Cricket Score, Asia Cup 2025 Final: Who Will Lift The Trophy Tonight? India Hold Upper Hand

India and Pakistan have a rich history of finals battles, having clashed 12 times across all formats. Pakistan holds the edge with 8 wins to India’s 4, including their dominant 180-run victory in the 2017 Champions Trophy final.

Only 30 minutes remain until the toss, scheduled for 7:30 PM IST, with the first ball set to be bowled at 8:00 PM IST. The team winning the toss is likely to choose batting first to put scoreboard pressure on the opposition.

India suffered a huge blow when their star opener Abhishek Sharma left the field due to cramps against Sri Lanka. He has been carrying the Indian batting single-handedly, scoring 309 runs in just six matches. Fortunately, it has been confirmed that Abhishek will be playing the final clash against Pakistan.

The pitch is expected to be a bit on the slower side. However, the India scored 202 against Sri Lanka in the last match in Dubai and Sri Lanka too managed to score the same, suggesting better batting conditions. So, it could range from anywhere to 140-150 game to a 200 game.

India have refrained from shaking hands with the Pakistani players in their two matches against them. It is expected that the final clash will also see both teams skipping the handshake after the match.

Shaheen Afridi's previous encounters against India have been memorable, notably his match-winning spell in the 2021 T20 World Cup, where he dismantled India's top order with figures of 3/31, including the prized scalps of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Virat Kohli.

However, his recent performances have been underwhelming. In the Super Four match of the Asia Cup 2025, Afridi went wicketless and conceded 40 runs in 3.5 overs, raising questions about his current form.

Hardik Pandya looked a bit off after just one over against Sri Lanka on Friday, battling cramps that forced him off the field. But if the bowling coach’s word holds, we can expect the all-rounder back in full force for the final.

he India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 final will be broadcast live on the Sony Sports Network in India. It will also be available for live streaming on the SonyLIV app and website, as well as on FanCode.
