India will take on Pakistan in the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup 2025 in Dubai, marking their second encounter in the tournament after India defeated Pakistan by seven wickets in the group stage. India enters the match as favourites, having displayed consistent form throughout the competition. Pakistan, meanwhile, will be looking to recover from their previous defeat and mount a challenge.
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium pitch has remained true to its reputation, offering significant assistance to spinners. This has made scoring in the middle overs difficult, giving India an advantage with the strongest spin attack in the tournament. Fast bowlers have found limited help on the surface, while batters can score freely once settled. As the pitch slows down, stroke-making becomes more challenging. Teams winning the toss are likely to bat first and aim for a high total.
The match is expected to be played in hot and humid conditions. According to Accuweather.com, temperatures are likely to reach around 39°C with humidity levels between 60 and 70%, which may test the players’ endurance.
