WATCH: Shoaib Akhtar makes funny stumble while talking about how Pakistan's best chance against India in Asia Cup 2025 Final

It is confirmed that India and Pakistan will face each other for the third time in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025, as they will meet in the Final of the tournament on Sunday (September 28). Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar made a funny stumble while revealing Pakistan's best strategy to beat the in-form Indian team in the tournament Final. 

In the 41-year-old Asia Cup, it will be the first time that India and Pakistan will take on each other in the Final of the tournament. They have already met twice in this tournament, where India thrashed Pakistan on both occasions. In their group stage (Group A) fixture, after Pakistan scored 127/9 in 20 overs, India chased down the target in 15.5 overs after losing only three wickets, as India won by seven wickets with 25 balls remaining. 

In the Super Fours, India defeated Pakistan by six wickets with seven balls remaining, where after Pakistan scored 171/5, India chased down the target in 18.5 overs after losing four wickets.

Indian opener Abhishek Sharma is in dream form with the bat, as he slammed three consecutive half-centuries in the Super Fours of the Asia Cup 2025, as the left-handed opening batter is the leading run-scorer in the tournament. Against Pakistan in this tournament, while he slammed 31 off 13 balls in the group stage clash, he then smashed the Player of the Match award-winning level innings of 74 in just 39 balls in the Super Fours clash.

Shoaib Akhtar named Abhishek Bachchan instead of Abhishek Sharma

Without any doubt, Pakistan's fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar believed that anything could happen, even in favour of Pakistan, if they dismiss Abhishek Sharma early, as the Indian middle-order batting hasn't been tested yet. But going to talk about the Indian opener Abhishek Sharma, Akhtar mistakenly took the name of Abhishek Bachchan, the Bollywood actor. He was quickly corrected by others in that show.
