India vs Pakistan, Asia Cup 2025 Super 4: Toss result and playing 11s for today’s match, umpires list and pitch report

Team India are facing Pakistan in their first Super 4 clash of Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. When the sides met in the group stage at the same venue, the Men in Blue hammered a struggling Pakistan outfit by seven wickets. India go into the Sunday's clash as well as firm favorites.

Suryakumar Yadav and co. were not at their convincing best in the 21-run win over Oman in their last group match in Abu Dhabi. However, one cannot read too much into it since that was more of a practice game, with India having already qualified for the Super 4 stage of the tournament.

Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been in exceptional form for the Men in Blue, with eight wickets at an average of six. With the bat, Abhishek Sharma has got the team off to flying starts in all the three matches they have played so far. Skipper Suryakumar and Tilak Varma have also got runs.
