India vs Pakistan Could Meet Again in Asia Cup Final—Here’s What Needs to Happen

After a commanding six-wicket win over Pakistan in the Super Four opener, Team India has taken a giant stride toward the Asia Cup 2025 final. But the tournament’s round-robin format means the arch-rivals could meet again—this time in the grand finale on September 28.

Super Four Equation: How India and Pakistan Can Meet Again

  • India’s current standing: 2 points from 1 win
  • Upcoming matches: vs Bangladesh (Sept 24), vs Sri Lanka (Sept 26)
  • If India wins both: They finish with 6 points and top the table

Meanwhile, Pakistan, who lost to India despite posting 171 runs, still has a path to redemption:

  • Upcoming matches: vs Sri Lanka (Sept 23), vs Bangladesh (Sept 25)
  • If Pakistan wins both: They finish with 4 points and could secure second place

This would set up a third Indo-Pak clash in just two weeks, reigniting one of cricket’s fiercest rivalries.

Final Match Details

  • Date: September 28, 2025
  • Venue: Dubai International Stadium
  • Format: Top two teams from Super Four qualify directly—no semifinals

India’s win was powered by Abhishek Sharma’s explosive 74 off 39 balls, supported by Shubman Gill’s 47, chasing down Pakistan’s 171 in just 18.5 overs.
