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.

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’s (5) and Shamim Hossain’s (30) wickets.

Shaheen’s super show with the ball came after he added 19 runs from 13 balls to Pakistan’s total in the first half of the match.

After winning the Player of the Match award in Pakistan’s win over Bangladesh, Shaheen was asked about the final against India, and he fired a warning to the Suryakumar Yadav-led side by saying, “We are ready."

During the post-match presentation, Pakistan’s captain Salman Ali Agha was asked about the India-Pakistan final on Sunday, and he said, “We are a good enough team to beat anyone. We will come back on Sunday and try and do that."
