7 Min Read
India dominated arch-rivals Pakistan to secure a comprehensive seven-wicket victory in Match No. 6 of the Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha won the toss and opted to bat first, notably without a customary handshake with Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav.
Pakistan faltered early, losing two wickets cheaply as India’s bowlers struck with precision. The middle overs belonged to the Indian spinners, who dismantled the Pakistan batting order and restricted runs. Sahibzada Farhan top-scored with a patient 40 off 44 balls, while Shaheen Afridi’s late cameo of 33 off just 16 deliveries, laced with four sixes, lifted Pakistan to a modest 127/9 in 20 overs. For India, Kuldeep Yadav shone once again with figures of 3/18, while Jasprit Bumrah and Axar Patel picked up two wickets apiece.
In reply, India made light work of the chase as Abhishek Sharma provided a fiery start with 31 off 13 balls, before Suryakumar (47* off 37) and Tilak Varma guided the innings steadily to seal victory in 15.5 overs. Despite Pakistan’s Saim Ayub claiming three wickets for 35 runs, the target proved too small to defend. The win marked India’s second of the tournament, while Pakistan suffered their first defeat.
