In round 2 of the world-famous rivalry, India is set to face Pakistan in Super Four match 2 of the Asia Cup 2025. The high-voltage match will be held on Sunday, September 12, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium at 8:00 PM IST.

India

India comfortably won their final group game against Oman while using the match to experiment and give key players valuable game time. Abhishek Sharma impressed as a fire-starter, while Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson made important contributions. Kuldeep Yadav continued his strong bowling form in the Asia Cup. So far, the men in blue have been undefeated in this tournament.

Pakistan

Pakistan, meanwhile, have progressed to the Super Fours but faces major concerns with their batting. So far, they’ve relied heavily on Shaheen Afridi to rescue them, with Fakhar Zaman being their most consistent batter. The bowlers have performed well, but a stronger batting display is now crucial for their campaign. Saim Ayub, in particular, is yet to score a single run in this tournament, which is a major concern.

IND vs PAK Head-To-Head Overview

India have faced Pakistan 14 times in the T20I format before, out of which the men in blue won 10 times while Pakistan settled with 3 wins. One contest produced no result.
