In the final of the Asia Cup 2025, Pakistan will now face India. The summit clash of the Asia Cup 2025 between India and Pakistan is scheduled to take place at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, September 28.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">In the match against Bangladesh, which was a must-win for Pakistan, left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi picked up 3 wickets for 17 runs in four overs. He opened his wicket account by dismissing Parvez Hossain Emon for a two-ball duck on the fifth ball of the run chase and then picked up Towhid Hridoy\u2019s (5) and Shamim Hossain\u2019s (30) wickets.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Shaheen\u2019s super show with the ball came after he added 19 runs from 13 balls to Pakistan\u2019s total in the first half of the match.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">After winning the Player of the Match award in Pakistan\u2019s win over Bangladesh, Shaheen was asked about the final against India, and he fired a warning to the Suryakumar Yadav-led side by saying, <strong>\u201cWe are ready.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">During the post-match presentation, Pakistan\u2019s captain Salman Ali Agha was asked about the India-Pakistan final on Sunday, and he said, \u201cWe are a good enough team to beat anyone. We will come back on Sunday and try and do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\"><strong>1st India-Pakistan final in Asia Cup<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">The match between India and Pakistan on Sunday in Dubai will be the first time in the history of the Asia Cup that the two arch-rivals will face each other in the summit clash. India is the most successful team in the Asia Cup\u2019s history. The Men in Blue have won the title 8 times in the last 16 editions. On the other hand, Pakistan has won two Asia Cup titles (2000, 2012) so far.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">In the Asia Cup 2025, India and Pakistan have faced each other two times, and on both occasions, India have managed to get the better of the Salman Ali Agha-led side.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">In the Group A match played on September 14, India secured a win by 7 wickets, and in the Super 4s match played on Sunday, September 21, India defeated the Men in Green by 6 wickets. The Men in Blue will look to complete the hat-trick of wins over Pakistan on September 28 and become Asia Cup champions for the record-extending ninth time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-386439574 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-386439574 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>September 26, 2025, 00:29 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-386439574 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/cricket\/\">cricket<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Shaheen Afridi&#8217;s 3-Word Message For India After Pakistan Qualify For Asia Cup 2025 Final Goes Viral<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
