India vs Pakistan, Asia Cup 2025 Super 4: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai pitch history and T20I records

Team India and Pakistan will battle it out in the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, September 21. The Men in Blue topped Group A, with six points and a net run rate of +3.547. Pakistan finished second in the same group. When the two sides clashed last week, India got the better of their arch-rivals by seven wickets.

Without a doubt, Team India have been the best side in the tournament so far. Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been absolutely brilliant, with eight wickets at an average of six. When India and Pakistan clashed in the group stage, Kuldeep was the Player of the Match for his figures of 3-18. Abhishek Sharma has been scintillating at the top of the order.

India had rested key bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakaravarthy for the dead rubber against Oman. Both of them should be back in the playing XI for the Super 4 clash against Pakistan. However, it would be interesting to see India's playing combination in case all-rounder Axar Patel does not recover in time from the blow to the head he suffered while fielding against Oman.
