In a high-stakes Super 4 clash of Asia Cup 2025 at Dubai International Stadium, India once again asserted dominance over arch-rivals Pakistan with a commanding six-wicket victory while chasing 172 runs.

The highlight was Abhishek Sharma’s explosive innings of 74 off just 39 balls, featuring five towering sixes and six elegant boundaries. His aggressive yet calculated approach turned the chase decisively in India’s favor. Shubman Gill’s steady 47-run support laid the perfect foundation, culminating in India reaching 174 for 4 in 18.5 overs.

Pakistan’s total of 171 for 5, anchored by Sahibzada Farhan’s 58, was competitive but ultimately insufficient. India’s bowling lineup, spearheaded by the returning Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakaravarthy, maintained pressure and picked key wickets, despite a couple of crucial dropped catches in the field.

On-field tensions flared as pace bowler Shaheen Afridi engaged in verbal exchanges with India’s Shubman Gill, adding a heated edge to an already intense rivalry.

This victory not only solidifies India’s position in the Asia Cup race but also continues their recent supremacy over Pakistan in important T20 encounters. Abhishek Sharma’s fearless batting and India’s balanced team effort reflect a side in peak form ready to challenge for the title.

With momentum on their side, India now look to carry this form forward as the Asia Cup tournament builds to its thrilling conclusion.
