In Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, cricket fans gathered on September 28 to pray for Team India’s win in the Asia Cup 2025 final against Pakistan. Locals lit up the city with traditional hawan rituals and pooja ceremonies, hoping to bring good luck to the Indian squad as they face their arch-rivals in Dubai.
This high-stakes showdown marks a historic moment: the first-ever India vs Pakistan final in the Asia Cup’s 17 editions over 41 years. The match kicks off at 8:00 p.m. IST at the packed Dubai International Stadium, where excitement is electric and seats are sold out for this epic cricket clash.
Adding to the buzz, India’s young opener Abhishek Sharma is on the verge of making history. The explosive batsman has racked up 309 runs in the tournament—the most in Asia Cup 2025—with an average of 51.50 and a blistering strike rate of 204.63. He’s notched three fifties in a row during the Super Four stage, including a top score of 75. Just 11 runs shy of breaking Virat Kohli’s record for the highest runs by an Indian in a multi-nation T20I event, Abhishek could etch his name alongside legends like Rohit Sharma and Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan.
This final is the third India-Pakistan encounter since the Pahalgam terror attacks in April and India’s Operation Sindoor against Pakistan-backed terrorism. Fans worldwide are glued to their screens for what promises to be a thrilling Asia Cup 2025 title battle.
