Top key battles in the Asia Cup 2025 Final
Abhishek Sharma vs Shaheen Afridi
In the previous two matches, Abhishek Sharma has scored 10 runs on the first two balls off Shaheen Afridi’s bowling. During the first match, he scored a boundary followed by a six, whereas in the second match, he scored six on the first ball and then a boundary in the next. Let us see if Shaheen has got a new plan, or if this will continue.
Kuldeep Yadav vs Pakistan batters
Basically, Kuldeep Yadav has been the best bowler for India in this Asia Cup 2025. He was the Man of the Match in the group stage match between the two teams. Kuldeep has been very economical, and getting the task in the middle overs will be a task for the Pakistani batters.
Shubman Gill vs Haris Rauf
Things have heated up between the two players in the last game, where Haris Rauf exchanged words with the Indian opener. The last two matches of Shubman Gill have not been impressive as he has been dismissed cheaply. He is a young lad who loves challenges, and this will be an interesting battle
Jasprit Bumrah vs Pakistan openers
The Pakistan openers will face a big challenge from Bumrah in the first overs of the match. As this is a final, surely you don’t want to face the best bowler in the world. If Pakistan is batting first and they score runs against Bumrah, they will feel confident.
Suryakumar Yadav vs Pakistani bowlers
So far, Suryakumar Yadav has not been impressive with the tag he carries. We have also not seen both openers failing as one of them is always on the mark. He will have to play a captain knock and steady the middle overs. In the last match against Pakistan, he got out for a duck.
Weather Update & Pitch Report
We all know that the Dubai wicket has been very beneficial to the spinners. When we look at the last two matches at this wicket, one match was a low-scoring match, and in the other match, a target of 200 was almost chased by Sri Lanka. There is a lot for the batters on the wicket too and giving a good start will be what their team will need.
The conditions will be a little tough as there will be humidity, as we had a few cramps in a few Indian players in the last team. Eventually, the sky is clear and there are minimal chances of rain, and we can see the temperature between 32°C and 35°C.
India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 Final winner prediction
The Pakistan team will have to play for their pride as India has already dominated twice in this edition of the Asia Cup. They will want their revenge, but the Indian boys have everything to trash them again. We are predicting India to win this match and make it three out of three against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025.
