The Asia Cup 2025, a T20 cricket tournament, is taking place in the UAE with eight participating teams. The tournament started on September 9th, and the Super Four stage will feature the top two teams from each group. The final match is set for September 28th.
India has already qualified for the Super Four stage from Group A. Pakistan’s next match against UAE is crucial; a victory would pit them against India in a highly anticipated rematch. The last India-Pakistan encounter was marred by a ‘No-Handshake’ incident, potentially adding tension to a future meeting. The outcome of the Pakistan vs. UAE game will therefore be closely watched.
In Group B, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan are currently in the lead, with the subsequent match results determining the Super Four qualifiers.
