Asia Cup 2025 top run-getters and wicket-takers after IND vs PAK (Updated) ft. Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel 

Team India continued to cruise through their Asia Cup 2025 campaign with a thumping seven-wicket win over Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday, September 14. The Suryakumar Yadav-led side now occupies the first spot in Group A of the competition with successive wins under their belt.

Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha won the toss and opted to bat first, and the Indian bowlers capitalised straightaway to make an instant impact in the contest, and create some early momentum. Both Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya were able to generate movement with the new ball to create dents in the powerplay.

Saim Ayub was dismissed for a golden duck, while Mohammad Haris also perished soon after to leave Pakistan in trouble at 6-2 in the second over. Fakhar Zaman and Sahibzada Farhan were able to steady the ship for a while, before the spinners came into the contest to dictate the proceedings.

Team India dominated the middle overs to reduce the Men in Green to 83-7 at one stage, before a cameo by Shaheen Afridi spiked the score to 127-9 at the end of the first innings.

Abhishek Sharma helped the Men in Blue make a fiery start to the run chase despite Shubman Gill's dismissal in the second over. Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma ticked off the runs in the middle overs with the required run rate well under control, and proceeded to wrap up the contest with more than four overs to spare.

Team India spinner Kuldeep Yadav continues his stellar Asia Cup 2025 campaign as he picked up a three-fer on the back of his figures of 4-7 in the clash against the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The wrist spinner accounted for the wickets of Sahibzada Farhan, Hasan Nawaz, and Mohammad Nawaz to finish with figures of 3-18, to be the pick among the bowlers yet again.

Left-arm spinner Axar Patel also had a solid outing, picking up the key wickets of Fakhar Zaman in his very first over, as well as skipper Salman Ali Agha, to produce figures of 2-18 off his four overs. He is now the fourth-leading wicket-taker of the tournament.
