Asia Cup 2025 is grabbing eyeballs from all over the world as the Super Four clashes have turned into a thrilling contest. Cricket fans are anticipating exciting times ahead as there’s a rising possibility that India might face Pakistan in the finale. Historically the final match between India and Pakistan is always one of the most electrifying events in cricket history, because of the fierce rivalry and massive viewership.
The Super Four stage this year has only added more excitement with top-tier cricket and of course, the controversies. Cricket fans are now hooked and are wondering the chances of India vs Pakistan in the Asia Cup finals.
Will India face Pakistan in Asia Cup 2025 finals?
India is currently on top of the Asia Cup 2025 Super Four points table with 2 points and a healthy net run rate of +0.689. They have played just one match so far in this stage and sit in a strong position with two big games left against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. If India beat Bangladesh in their next outing which is today, September 24, it will almost certainly book their place in the final.
Meanwhile, Pakistan have had a more challenging journey in the Super Four. They lost to India but managed to bounce back with a win over Sri Lanka. With 2 points and a net run rate of +0.226, they currently sit in second place. However, their upcoming match against Bangladesh is a must-win, as their chances of reaching the final depend on this game and also on India’s results in the remaining matches.
India vs Pakistan: Here’s what the stats tell us
The arch-rivals have already met twice in this year’s Asia Cup. India came out on top in the first game with a six-wicket win, thanks to a superb century stand between Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill.
Pakistan’s batting struggled that day, leaving them with too small a total to defend. Pakistan responded well in their next outing, defeating Sri Lanka with the help of Shaheen Shah Afridi’s brilliant bowling display. While Pakistan have shown fight, India have clearly looked the stronger side in this edition of the tournament.
India vs Pakistan: Players who could be game-changers
For India, Abhishek Sharma has been the standout performer. He has consistently scored runs, often crossing 30 and his quick-fire partnership with Shubman Gill has given India the edge at the top. Gill’s calm approach has added balance to India’s batting.
