India Registers a Dominant 7-Wicket Victory Over Pakistan in Asia Cup 2025
In an exciting clash at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 14, 2025, India emerged victorious over Pakistan by 7 wickets, continuing their dominance in the Asia Cup 2025.
Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first. However, their innings faltered against a brilliant Indian bowling attack. The Pakistani top order struggled to get going, with Saim Ayub’s duck and Mohammad Haris’ brief stay at the crease, scoring just 3 runs.
Kuldeep Yadav was the star of the Indian bowling attack, claiming 3 wickets for just 18 runs in his 4 overs, while Hardik Pandya (1 wicket), Bumrah (2 wickets), and Axar Patel (2 wickets) supported well. Pakistan could only manage 127/9 in their 20 overs. Shaheen Afridi's explosive knock of 33 not out from 16 balls was the only bright spot for Pakistan.
India’s chase of 128 started with fireworks from Abhishek Sharma, who blasted 31 runs off just 13 balls. However, Saim Ayub removed both Sharma and Shubman Gill to give Pakistan hope. But it was Suryakumar Yadav’s calm and composed 47* off 37 balls that steered India towards victory. Tilak Varma (31) and Shivam Dube (10*) helped the team reach the target comfortably in just 15.5 overs(131/3).
Kuldeep Yadav was named Player of the Match for his game-changing spell, which broke the backbone of Pakistan's batting line-up.
