India and Pakistan are all set to reignite their classic cricket rivalry in the Asia Cup Group A match in Dubai this Sunday. Both sides kicked off the tournament on a strong note, beating UAE and Oman with ease. But their paths since the last World Cup couldn’t be more different.
Pakistan has faced a rough ride lately. They’ve struggled to stay consistent and build a solid team identity. Their batting lineup often crumbles under pressure, and even their once-unbeatable bowling attack has lost its edge. On the flip side, India is firing on all cylinders. With explosive batters in top form and what many call the world’s best bowling unit, the Men in Blue look balanced and ready to dominate.
India enters as the clear favorite thanks to their depth and firepower. Still, this heated Indo-Pak rivalry has a way of throwing up surprises—Pakistan could pull off an upset, just like old times.
The match comes amid tensions following the recent Pahalgam terror attack, sparking outrage from fans and former cricketers. Some even wondered if the game should happen at all. But the Indian government has given the green light, allowing cricket in international events like the Asia Cup. Bilateral series in each other’s country remain off the table, though.
Even with the go-ahead, the buzz feels unusually low. Tickets were still up for grabs online on Saturday—just a day before the big clash—which is rare for these high-stakes India vs Pakistan encounters.
