IND vs PAK, Asia Cup 2025 Controversy LIVE Updates: After Team India emerged victorious in a high-octane Asia Cup 2025 final, the team refused to collect the Asia Cup trophy and medals from the ACC chairman. BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia said that they won’t collect the trophy from a person who represents a country that is waging war against India. This, however, doesn’t mean that they walked away from the celebrations. Suryakumar Yadav-led team did celebrate after chasing down Pakistan’s total of 146 with five wickets in hand and two balls to spare.

India’s chase began shakily, losing Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Suryakumar Yadav early. However, the Varma-Dube partnership revitalized the innings, injecting momentum with aggressive strokeplay. Varma’s 3 fours and 4 sixes and Dube’s 2 fours and 2 sixes ensured India stayed ahead of the required run rate, ultimately finishing the game at 150/5 in 19.4 overs.
Kuldeep Yadav Shines with the Ball
Earlier, Pakistan posted 146/10, with Sahibzada Farhan top-scoring with 57 off 38 balls, and Fakhar Zaman contributing 46. India’s Kuldeep Yadav was the pick of the bowlers, taking 4 wickets for 30 runs. Axar Patel, Varun Chakravarthy, and Jasprit Bumrah shared the remaining wickets, keeping Pakistan under control despite Farhan’s quickfire innings.
India’s all-round performance, combining disciplined bowling and aggressive batting, proved decisive in this thrilling final against arch-rivals Pakistan.

IND vs PAK Live Score: Picth report
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium has generally favoured batters who can spend time at the crease and build their innings in Asia Cup 2025 matches. Early on, the new ball offers some swing, demanding focus from the top order batsmen before they can accelerate and post big scores. Bowlers, including pacers and spinners, find assistance in the initial overs, but as the match progresses, they must rely on disciplined lines and lengths to contain the opposition and create breakthroughs. Teams chasing at this venue often have an advantage, as dew conditions in later overs can aid batting.
IND vs PAK Live: Pakistan likely to stick with same lineup
With Pakistan keen on power hitting in the middle overs, there has been some speculation that Hasan Nawaz could return after missing the last three games of the Asia Cup 2025. However, with India’s quality spin attack posing challenges, especially against left-arm and wrist spin, Pakistan is expected to stick with their current playing XI and go in unchanged for the IND vs PAK final.
