India chased the target in 4.3 overs to complete a clinical victory. Left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav was named the Player of the Match for his stunning four-wicket haul.


A look at Suryakumar Yadav's T20I record against Pakistan ahead of IND vs PAK 2025 Asia Cup match

Suryakumar Yadav is hailed as one of the best T20 players in world cricket by several fans and experts alike. He has entertained fans over the years with his 360-degree stroke-making.

However, his T20I record against Pakistan has been quite underwhelming so far. The 35-year-old averages just 12.80 against the opposition, amassing 64 runs across five innings.

Suryakumar's highest score against Pakistan is 18. The dangerous batter will look to redeem himself by playing an impactful knock this time around.

He kicked off the year on a dismal note, scoring 28 runs from five innings in India's five-match home series against England. He roared back to form in IPL 2025, where he enjoyed an imperious run.

The Mumbai Indians (MI) star was the second-highest run-scorer of the season, finishing with 717 runs across 16 innings at a strike rate of 167.91. He became the first non-opening batter to score over 700 runs in a single edition.
