India vs Pakistan May Clash Three Times in Asia Cup 2025
Cricket enthusiasts are thrilled as India and Pakistan may clash with each other thrice in the Asia Cup 2025. The tournament is likely to be conducted in September 2025 with a T20 format. The competition will feature eight teams: India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, UAE, Oman, and Hong Kong.
Possible Match Scenarios
The tournament structure implies that India and Pakistan will be in the same group. They will, therefore, play against each other at least once in the group stages. If both teams make it to the Super Four stage, they will play again. Furthermore, if both teams make it to the final, they will play each other for a third time in the competition.

Venue Considerations
As a result of political rivalry between India and Pakistan, the matches will be played at neutral grounds. Sri Lanka and the UAE are being considered by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) as potential venues. This comes after other tournaments where India and Pakistan played on neutral grounds in order to circumvent travel restrictions and security issues.
