Following a box of fresh controversies, no handshakes, deliberations and pull-out threats, India and Pakistan will face off yet again in the Asia Cup 2025 Super Four clash at the Dubai International Stadium.
Despite the humiliating defeat, the Salman Agha-led side qualified for the Super 4 on the back of victories in their other group-stage encounters.
In the previous game between the arch rivals, it was what happened before and after the game that hogged the limelight. The two captains, Suryakumar Yadav and Agha, did not shake hands or exchange team sheets at the toss.
Predicted XI
India predicted XI: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav.
Pakistan predicted XI: Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Haris (wicketkeeper), Salman Agha (captain), Hasan Nawaz, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Faheem Ashraf, Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf.
Pitch Conditions
The average first innings score in T20s on this ground is 139, suggesting a low-scoring game between the two sides. In such a context, the role of spinners would increase multifold, bringing the focus on the skilful trio of Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, and Varun Chakravarthy.
Weather Conditions
Clear weather with no chances of rain and temperature ranging at 34°C is expected during the game in Dubai. Humidity will range at 62%, whereas wind will be blowing at 11 km/hr.
