After many years of effort, the Asian Cricket Council finally got success. India and Pakistan are going to compete in the final of Asia Cup 2025. Not only the final, but the hope with which the format of this tournament was prepared, it also became successful. India and Pakistan are going to face each other for the third time. Now the eyes are on the title match of September 28 and here Team India can put such a hat -trick, which no team has been able to do in cricket history till date.
On September 28, the title of Asia Cup will be played between India and Pakistan at Dubai International Stadium. This will be the first time in the 40-year long history of the Asia Cup, when both teams are going to face each other in the finals. In this way, India and Pakistan will take on each other for the third time after the competition in the group round of the tournament and the Super-4 round. The previous two matches of the tournament were won by Team India easily and in such a situation, he is a contender for victory.
This final for Team India is also going to be special because it is close to creating history. If Team India also wins this final, then it will be the first time that one team has defeated another team three times in one tournament. Statistics show that this has happened only 2 times in the tournament with 5 or more teams, when two teams have collided 3 times.
First, in the 1983 World Cup, India and West Indies had a match 3 times, out of which India won 2 and West Indies won one match. Then in the 2004 Asia Cup, India and Sri Lanka clashed 3 times, out of which Sri Lanka had won 2 times, while India was successful 1 time. If Team India wins this final, then for the first time in international cricket, this hat -trick will be held.
Talking about this Asia Cup, there was a competition between India and Pakistan in the first group stage. In this match, Pakistan scored just 127 runs while batting first. Then the Indian team won this match by 7 wickets in just 16 overs. After this, both collided in Super-4, in which Pakistan scored 171 runs while batting first. Team India won this score in 19 overs and won by 6 wickets.
