IND vs PAK Asia Cup 2025 Final – What to Expect?
The Dubai pitch offers a balanced contest, but dew makes chasing targets easier in the low light. India’s depth in both batting and bowling gives them an edge, while Pakistan’s strength lies in their bowling attack.
- If India bats first: Expect a score of 180-190, led by Abhishek Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav.
- If Pakistan bats first: They will need 170+ runs to challenge India, and will have to rely on Fakhar Zaman and Farhan to build a strong foundation.
Prediction: India will start as favourites (55-45) due to their unbeaten streak and mental advantage. However, Pakistan cannot be ruled out in the final.
