Excitement is in the air as young fans rally behind Team India ahead of the Asia Cup 2025 final against Pakistan. These supporters can’t hide their thrill for captain Suryakumar Yadav and his squad, sharing bold predictions and unbreakable confidence.
Take Saad, a pint-sized fan decked out in an Indian jersey with the national flag painted on his cheeks. He sees big things from Suryakumar Yadav in the showdown. “Suryakumar will shine brightest for India, and from Pakistan, I bet on Saim Ayub,” Saad said. When asked about the outcome, he didn’t hesitate: “Yes, India will win easily.” His enthusiasm captures the spirit buzzing around this epic cricket rivalry.
Fatima, another fired-up supporter, is all in on India’s rising star Abhishek Sharma. “I’m super excited for the match,” she shared. “Abhishek will rack up the most runs. Pakistan won’t stand a chance—we’re bringing that Asia Cup trophy home.” Her words reflect the optimism sweeping through Indian fans as the big game approaches.
This marks a historic moment: It’s the first time since the Asia Cup kicked off in 1984 that India and Pakistan both reach the final. India has dominated their head-to-head clashes in this tournament, handing Pakistan two solid defeats already. With Pakistan as clear underdogs—they’ve dropped 12 of their last 15 T20I matches against India—the pressure is on for a stunning upset.
Pakistan’s road to the final wasn’t smooth. Captain Salman Agha and his team nearly bowed out after a tense Super Fours game against Bangladesh. But they fought back fiercely, clinching an 11-run win to punch their ticket. Now, they face a formidable Indian side riding high.
India dodged a scare before the final when Abhishek Sharma and Hardik Pandya battled cramps in their last Super Fours match against Sri Lanka. Both spent time off the field but got the all-clear and are ready to go for this high-stakes India vs Pakistan cricket thriller.
India’s squad features Suryakumar Yadav as captain, alongside Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Jitesh Sharma, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson, Harshit Rana, and Rinku Singh.
Pakistan fields Salman Ali Agha at the helm, with Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Hasan Nawaz, Hussain Talat, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Haris, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Waseem Jnr, Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Salman Mirza, Shaheen Afridi, and Sufyan Moqim.
As the Asia Cup 2025 final heats up, all eyes are on whether India keeps its winning streak alive or Pakistan pulls off a miracle in this classic rivalry.
