The 2025 season of the ongoing Men’s T20 Asia Cup has already started, with every participant playing their first fixture of the event. The defending champions, India, earned a comfortable victory in their opening game of the event against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on September 10 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. 

India’s spinners, especially Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy, were the peak of the bowlers, while Shivam Dube also enjoyed his part-time bowling and bagged three wickets during the clash. In the chase, Abhishek Sharma started with a six on the very first delivery before Shubman Gill joined the party to help them chase the target by nine wickets and 93 balls to spare.

Four days later, the Blue Brigade is scheduled to face Pakistan at the same ground. There have been trends on social media platforms to boycott the clash on the back of what happened regarding the Pahalgam terror attack. But in a multi-national tournament, as the BCCI secretary, Devajit Saikia, has addressed, it would be against the spirit of the game.

Pakistan is also coming into this encounter after their 93-run victory against Oman in Dubai. Despite their struggle of losing regular wickets with the bat, the Salman Ali Agha-led side somehow stretched them to 160/7 in their 20 overs. In reply, their spinners were incredible with the line and length to demolish the Oman side for 67 runs in just 16.4 overs.

The Sony Sports Network will be telecasting the clash between the two arch-rivals on television, while the Sony LIV app will be streaming the fixture. For the latest news and updates on the game, the suggestion will be to keep an eye on this website and its Telegram channel. India’s win will be a strong reply against the opponents.

With the potential win, India can seal their spot for the Super four stage as they will face Oman in their final leg of the group-stage clash on September 19 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
