India’s cricket stars are celebrating a massive win in the Asia Cup 2025 final, beating Pakistan by five wickets in a nail-biting chase in Dubai. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar jumped on X to share his excitement, posting: “Congrats to Team India on winning the Asia Cup. New India delivers.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi echoed the cheers on Twitter, tweeting: “#OperationSindoor on the games field. Outcome is the same – India wins! Congrats to our cricketers.”
This victory marks India’s second T20I Asia Cup title and their ninth overall, including past ODI editions. Tilak Varma stole the show with an unbeaten 69 off 53 balls, including three fours and four sixes. His key partnerships—a 57-run stand with Sanju Samson (24 off 21) and a solid alliance with Shivam Dube (33 off 22)—guided India to chase down 147 runs successfully, even after an early wobble.
India stayed perfect against Pakistan throughout the tournament, securing a seven-wicket win in the group stage, a six-wicket victory in the Super Four, and this final thriller. Captains and fans alike are hailing it as a dominant run for Team India in the Asia Cup 2025.
In the match, India won the toss and chose to bowl first. Pakistan got off to a strong start with an 84-run opening partnership between Sahidzada Farhan (57 off 38, with four fours and three sixes) and Fakhar Zaman (46 off 35, including two fours and two sixes). But India’s spinners turned the tide in the middle overs. Kuldeep Yadav grabbed four wickets for 30 runs, Varun Chakravarthy took two for 30, and Jasprit Bumrah sealed the innings with two for 25. Pakistan crumbled from 113 for one to 146 all out in 19.1 overs.
Chasing the target, India slumped to 20 for three thanks to Faheem Ashraf’s early burst of three for 29. But Tilak Varma steadied the ship, partnering with Samson to rebuild. Dube then unleashed some big hits to keep the momentum going. In his Asia Cup debut, Rinku Singh finished it off dramatically, smashing the winning runs on the first ball he faced.
Cricket fans worldwide are buzzing about this intense India vs Pakistan showdown, with highlights from the Asia Cup 2025 final already going viral.
