The cricketing calendar is heating up, and it's time for the biggest tournament on the continent - the Asia Cup 2025! Hosted in the UAE, this T20 format tournament is set to be an electrifying affair, serving as the perfect warm-up for the T20 World Cup. With 19 matches spread across two iconic venues, the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi, fans can expect high-octane action from start to finish.

This year's Asia Cup features eight strong teams, divided into two competitive groups. Group A promises some fierce rivalries, featuring giants like India and Pakistan, alongside the hosts UAE and Oman. Meanwhile, Group B is a mix of established powerhouses and rising talents, with Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong ready to fight for a spot in the Super 4.

The tournament kicks off on September 9 with a Group B encounter between Afghanistan and Hong Kong in Abu Dhabi. But for Indian fans, the real excitement begins a day later.

Team India's Road to Glory

Team India starts its campaign on September 10 against the home side, UAE, in Dubai. But the date everyone has circled on their calendars is September 14. This is when the arch-rivals clash as India and Pakistan face off in a highly anticipated Group A match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The sheer intensity of this rivalry is unparalleled, and with a potential to meet up to three times in the tournament (Group Stage, Super 4, and Final), fans are in for a treat.

After the Pakistan match, India's final group stage game is against Oman on September 19 in Abu Dhabi. The top two teams from each group will then progress to the Super 4 stage, where they'll battle for a spot in the final on September 28.
