The much-awaited India vs Pakistan Under-19 Asia Cup 2025 match has been delayed as the toss could not take place on time. The game is being played at the Cricket Academy in Dubai on December 14. 

The toss was scheduled for 10:00 am IST, but it has been postponed due to the wet outfield. Earlier, rain in Dubai caused the ground to remain damp. The ground staff have covered the pitch, and it appears to be a passing shower. 

However, the weather is expected to improve soon, and the match should start once conditions are better.

Notably, the toss has now taken place, with Pakistan winning and opting to bowl first against India. Owing to the lost time from rain, the match has been reduced to 49 overs per side.

The weather at the ICC Academy Ground on December 14 is expected to be mixed, with some interruptions likely earlier in the day. According to Accuweather.com, the temperature will reach a high of around 26°C.

However, a passing shower or two is expected in the morning, which could affect play, especially the outfield conditions. There will be sunny intervals later in the day, and it is not expected to feel too warm.

The probability of precipitation is quite high at 70 percent, with around 3.6 mm of rain forecast over approximately two hours. There is also a 14 percent chance of thunderstorms. Overall, weather conditions are expected to improve as the day progresses.

On the cricketing front, both teams come into this high-voltage encounter after registering dominant wins in their opening matches. Team India, led by Ayush Mhatre, began their campaign against the UAE in emphatic fashion. 

Young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi once again stole the spotlight with a sensational 171 off just 95 balls. Valuable contributions from Aaron George and Vihaan Malhotra helped India post a mammoth total. The Indian bowlers then delivered a clinical performance, restricting the UAE to 199 for seven and sealing an comfortable win.

On the other hand, Pakistan were equally ruthless in their opening match against Malaysia. The Men in Green piled up an imposing 345 for 3, with Sameer Minhas scoring an unbeaten 177 and Ahmed Hussain adding a fluent 132. 

The Pakistan pace attack then ran through the Malaysian batting lineup, bowling them out for just 48 inside 20 overs. Ali Raza and Mohammad Sayyam picked up three wickets each as Pakistan cruised to a massive 297-run win.
