There is going to be no dearth of thrill between the cricket teams of India and Pakistan after facing each other thrice in Asia Cup 2025. The tension and enthusiasm that was seen on the field in the high-voltage matches played in September had not subsided yet and now the teams of both the countries can come face to face four times within a month. Actually, through Hong Kong Sixes Tournament and Rising Stars Asia Cup, fans will again get to see the tough competition between India and Pakistan.
First encounter in Hong Kong Sixes
First of all, on 7 November 2025, both the teams will face each other in the format of 6-6 overs at Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground in Hong Kong. This is part of the Hong Kong Sixes Tournament, where a game of speed, aggression and strategy will be seen. Due to the small format, fans will get to see a lot of fours and sixes. If both the teams reach the knockout, then they may face each other again in the tournament. This means that one can get a chance to see the war between India and Pakistan twice in the same tournament.
Rising Stars also compete in Asia Cup
After this, the match between India and Pakistan is scheduled on 16th November in the Rising Stars Asia Cup starting from 14th November. This tournament is a platform for young players, where the rising stars of both the countries will be desperate to leave their mark. After this match in the league stage, if both the teams reach the semi-finals or finals, then they can face each other again. That means there is a possibility of clashing twice in this tournament also.
In this way, the teams of India and Pakistan will definitely face each other at least twice in the month of November, and if both advance in the knockout stage of the tournament, then they can face each other a total of four times. This is no less than a festival for cricket fans. After the heat seen in the Asia Cup, fans are expecting great competition in these matches too, where handshake controversy may also be seen.
