IND vs PAK Live Score: Innings Summary π
Whew! What a whirlwind of an innings from Pakistan! The Men in Green endured a shameful batting collapse, stumbling to 127/9 in 20 overs. Their innings began disastrously as Saim Ayub fell for a duck on the very first ball, followed by Mohammad Haris and Fakhar Zaman in quick succession.
Captain Agha Salmanβs scratchy 3 off 12 and the middle orderβs repeated failures left Pakistan reeling at 64/6 at the end of 12.5 overs. Only Sahibzada Farhan showed some resistance with 40 off 44 balls, but his slow knock lacked impact. In the end, however, Shaheen Afridiβs explosive cameo of 33 from 16 balls, including four sixes, spared Pakistan further embarrassment. From India's side, Kuldeep Yadav was the pick of the bowlers with his 3-fer, as Axar Patel and Bumrah scalped two wickets each.
With the thrill left, refill your popcorn buckets and come back and join us again for India's innings after a short break!!πΏπ₯€ India Need 128 Runs To Win In 20 Overs!

IND vs PAK Live Scorecard: Pitch Report ποΈ
So far, two matches have been played at the venue in this edition of the Asia Cup 2025. While one of the games was won by the team batting first, the other was won by the team chasing. Since the strengths of the teams involved in the two games are not equal, the data does not reveal much about whether chasing would be beneficial or not. However, traditionally, the ground has been good for chasing.

IND vs PAK Scorecard: Weather Update π‘οΈ
35 degrees Celsius with excessive heat and no chance of rain. So, expect the game to go ahead without any worries. The temperature might drop down a bit as game progresses.
It is expected to be a warm evening in Dubai. The wicket will thus have very little moisture, and we can expect the spinners to be the dominant force in the game. So, try to pick up more spinners in your team. With little moisture available from the surface, the pacers might not receive much help, and hence the batters might target them when the ball is hard and new.

IND vs PAK Live Score: Match Preview π
Team India enters the clash on the back of a dominant 9-wicket win over the UAE, restricting them to a mere 57 runs. Key contributions came from Abhishek Sharma, who scored 30, while Kuldeep Yadav and Shivam Dube shared the spoils with four and three wickets respectively. With a strong spin attack, India will look to exploit Pakistanβs known vulnerabilities in UAE conditions.
Pakistan began their Asia Cup 2025 campaign with a comfortable 93-run win against Oman. Mohammad Haris was the standout performer, while Saim Ayub and Salman Agha failed to make an impact. Shaheen Afridi claimed only one wicket, with the spinners doing the bulk of the damage. Despite this win, Pakistanβs poor record against India suggests they face a challenging encounter ahead.
