India and Pakistan’s Journey in Asia Cup 2025
Asia Cup 2025 has already produced exciting moments, with India and Pakistan’s campaigns drawing maximum attention.
India started their journey on a high, registering back-to-back wins. In their opening clash against UAE, the Men in Blue secured a record-breaking victory, showcasing their dominance.
They carried that form into the marquee encounter against Pakistan on September 14, where skipper Suryakumar Yadav and opener Abhishek Sharma powered the team to a comfortable 7-wicket win. With two wins in two matches, India sits firmly at the top of Group A.
Pakistan, on the other hand, began their campaign with a solid win in their opening fixture but stumbled badly against India.
Their batting faltered under pressure, and skipper Salman Ali Agha’s poor form remains a concern. Now, with one win and one loss, Pakistan faces a must-win clash against UAE on September 17 to keep their Super-4 hopes alive.
