HUGE Over! Haris Rauf concedes 17
Sep 28, 2025 23:18 IST
Just 2 runs from Abrar’s over
There was dew in the ground, but that has not seen much effect at the moment. The pitch was expected to slow down a little, and it probably has.
India are 79/4 in 13 overs and need 68 more runs to win this match.
Abrar Ahmed is key for Pakistan and he gives away just 2 runs from his third over in exchange of 1 wicket.
Game On!!

Massive Six from Sanju Samson
This is perhaps the best day for Sanju Samson to show his mental resolve. Dropped from his favoured position in the T20I team, Samson has found his game today.
He hits a massive six against Saim Ayub through midwicket.
India are on a roll!

IND vs PAK Final: Tilak gets aggressive after break

Poor fielding, and Samson survives.

Asia Cup Final Live: India play Haris sensibly
India opt not to attack Haris Rauf much. Apart from a classy pull from Sanju Samson, where India gather a boundary, both him and Tilak remain defensive against the fastest Pakistan pacer.
Haris does clock over 140 kmph in his first over, but bowls the majority of the balls as cutters.
Live Score: India (49/3 in 8 overs) chasing 147 runs vs Pakistan in Asia Cup Final. Tilak Varma (20*), Sanju Samson (11*).

Pakistan pacers bowling 3 overs each
Faheem Ashraf and Shaheen Shah Afridi have bowled 3 overs each in the powerplay.
Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson are at the crease as India try and rebuild their innings against the 147-run total.
Tilak Varma shows some intent in the final over of the powerplay, hitting a four and a six in back to back balls against Faheem.
Sep 28, 2025 22:34 IST
Wicket!! Jittery Shubman departs
Shubman Gill, who has been looking jittery throughout this innings departs in the final ball of the 4th over.
It is Faheem Ashraf once again. Pace off, Shubman tries to loft the ball over mid on, and Haris Rauf jumps high and plucks the ball out of thin air.
This is superb fielding from Pakistan, with odds stacked up against them.
Force stop in the play
We are not sure why, but the play has been stopped in the field.
The broadcaster has cut straight to the ads, so we are not exactly sure what the issues is. But it seems that Shubman Gill has complained about the spider cam being in his sight.
We have a lengthy delay in the play now.

Controversy: Out or not out?
Big wicket for Pakistan. Absolutely nothing shot from Suryakumar Yadav and Pakistan have a sliver of hope in the game.
Length ball, Suryakumar Yadav wants to go over mid off but does not get any timing on it. The ball is dipping into the ground while going to Salman Agha at mid off, who rushes forward and takes a diving catch.
There is a long check from the umpire about the catch, and if it dropped short.
The third umpire takes his time and gives it an out!
The Dubai stadium is screaming Shaheen Shaheen!!

How did Abhishek Sharma get out?
By a well hidden off cutter from Faheem Ashraf in the 2nd over.

Abhishek falls in the 1st ball of 2nd over!
WICKET!!
- Abhishek Sharma falls! The law of averages perhaps catches up to the young left hander.
- Pakistan strike and this is perhaps what they needed. A wicket of the dangerman early in the innings.
India Wins Toss, Chooses to Bowl First Against Pakistan
India started the Asia Cup 2025 final with a bang at Dubai International Stadium, winning the toss and opting to field first against Pakistan. It’s a high-stakes clash—the third time these two cricketing giants face off in just 15 days. And while India has had the upper hand in previous encounters, nothing is guaranteed in a final.
There’s a bit of disappointment for Team India fans, though. Hardik Pandya has pulled out with a niggle, and Rinku Singh is stepping in to fill the gap. On the bright side, Jasprit Bumrah and Shivam Dube are back in the squad, replacing Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh. Pakistan, meanwhile, has stuck with the same side that crushed Bangladesh in their last outing.

India vs Pakistan: The Context
This final is more than just a match—it’s a clash with history. India has dominated both previous meetings in this edition, winning the group stage by seven wickets and the Super 4 game by six. But Sri Lanka nearly upset India in their last Super Four encounter, reminding everyone that in cricket, surprises happen.
Suryakumar Yadav may have downplayed the rivalry, saying India is so far ahead that Pakistan isn’t a threat—but in finals, anything can happen. This is the sixth India-Pakistan final in tournaments with more than five teams, and Pakistan currently leads the head-to-head in finals, 3-2.
What Fans Can Expect
Expect fireworks. Both teams bring explosive batting line-ups and lethal bowling attacks. With Dubai’s pitch usually favoring spinners and fast bowlers at different times, captains Suryakumar Yadav and Salman Agha will have their strategies tested from ball one.
For fans following the live updates, every wicket, boundary, and over counts. Keep an eye out for key battles—Bumrah vs Zaman, Shaheen Afridi vs Shubman Gill, and the spin duel between Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammad Nawaz could decide the winner.
Bottom Line:
India vs Pakistan finals are never just matches—they’re experiences. Whether you’re cheering from home, the office, or a café in Dubai, the Asia Cup 2025 final promises edge-of-the-seat cricket .

India vs Pakistan Final Live Cricket Score: Let’s go!
The national anthems are done, and both the Pakistan openers are in the middle. The crowd is buzzing here in the stadium. Usually, we don’t see it too often where Pakistan tends to play with a stable side throughout the tournaments, and one thing Mike Hesson has managed to do is bring in that stability. And for India, in the absence of Hardik Pandya, it is Shivam Dube who has the new ball for India.
India vs Pakistan Final Live Cricket Score: Dube with ball
Well, Shivam Dube would have thought of many things he would have wanted to do in the Indian colours, and in that entire bucket list, it will be interesting to see where his opening the ball will be. Nevertheless, he is doing it today. There is a bit of nibble for him to work with, which is always the case at this venue; however, with his pace, he is always susceptible to getting hit for a few in these initial overs with just two fielders outside the ring. But Suryakumar Yadav seems to be quite adamant about the stacking up of his overs.

India vs Pakistan Final Live Cricket Score: Bumrah takes ball from other end
Jasprit Bumrah has taken the ball from the other end for India, and he did slip in a slower one early in the piece. The kind of team India has selected for this game indicates a lot about how they are looking at the surface, and that slower one from Bumrah just in the opening over is indicative of the same point. Regardless of how they have perceived things with the lack of Hardik Pandya, it does look a bit incomplete. The attack and how Surya plays his cards in the final overs are going to be crucial. As per Pakistan, they have had a subdued start so far, which is quite usual here on this wicket.

India vs Pakistan Final Live Cricket Score: Good start for Farhan
Every time India has played Pakistan in this tournament, Farhan has managed to make an impression in this game. He has already started well. Although India has been able to contain Pakistan for par totals on both occasions, they have not been able to contain Farhan. Bumrah up with the new ball tested him with a bit of good length stuff, which he has shown a bit of vulnerability coming into the tri-series ahead of the tournament for the deliveries which do come back in, and India have not been able to test him with those deliveries, which has to do a bit with conditions as well in Dubai.

India vs Pakistan Final Live Cricket Score: Solid start
Fakhar, too, has been quite cautious here with his start. Usually, he tends to take a bit more of an aggressive route early in the piece, but since becoming the opener, he has played more the role of a responsible opener, while Farhan has taken the bulk of the risk. This is a good start for Pakistan; it might not be one of those electric starts India gets, but with the batting line-up and their collapses Pakistan has seen in recent times, it is a solid start. And as we update, there is a change of strategy from Suryakumar Yadav. He has brought into the bowl Axar Patel for the final over of the powerplay, which Bumrah has been bowling through the tournament.
Asia Cup Final Live: India introduce all main spinners
Kuldeep Yadav comes into the attack. This means that India have introduced all of their main spinners in back to back over.
The spinner bowls a tidy over but falters on his length in the final ball of the over. He digs the ball in short and gets whacked by Sahibzada Farhan, for a massive six on the leg side.
He seems to have a knack of doing that.
Pakistan get 11 runs from Kuldeep Yadav’s first over.

No gunshot celebration this time from the batter.
Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav continues to leak runs in the final.
He gets whacked by Fakhar Zaman for a massive six through midwicket. Fakhar was waiting for that one. In the slot, and boom he breaks out his massive stride and hits the ball for a six.

Saim Ayub fails once again!
Kuldeep Yadav strikes for the first time in the match!
His ploy of bowling wide against the left hander has worked! Just about!
It is not the greatest of balls from Kuldeep, who floats the ball wide and full. Saim Ayub cuts the ball and hands a low catch to Bumrah, who does not make any mistakes under pressure at point.
Live Score: Pakistan (113/2 in 13 overs) vs India in Asia Cup Final. Fakhar Zaman (36*), Saim Ayub (14).

Right after Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel strikes!
On the day where Saim Ayub scored 14 off 11 balls, Mohammad Haris falls for a duck.
Absolutely nothing shot from Mohammad Haris. Steps down the ground and lifts the ball. It flies straight into the hands of Rinku Singh standing at wide long off.
Pakistan have now lost 3 wickets against spin today.

WICKET!! Triple-strike for Kuldeep
What an absolute collapse in Dubai!
From 113/1 Pakistan have been reduced to 134/8 !! My days.
Pakistan have batted like school children and that is reflecting in their scorecard.

A disaster for Pakistan and the Indian fans have come alive in Dubai.

Kuldeep’s 3 wickets in the 17th over
16.1: Kuldeep Yadav to Salman Agha, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! A well-judged catch from Sanju Samson and the slide continues for Pakistan! Looped up by Kuldeep from over the wicket, on a length, on middle and leg. Salman is lured by the flight and cannot resist himself. Charges down the track and has a heave across the line. A top edge is found and the ball gets skied towards the short mid-wicket region. The keeper, Sanju Samson, calls for it and runs across to his left. He has the short mid-wicket fielder, Jasprit Bumrah, in his peripheral vision but Samson is not put off by it. Sanju dives in front at the end to take the catch. Salman Agha’s lean run with the bat continues and he departs for 8 (7). 113/1 has now become 133/6.
16.4: Kuldeep Yadav to Shaheen Afridi, OUT! LBW! India get the review right this time and Shaheen Afridi goes without troubling the scorers! The googly eventually does the trick for Kuldeep Yadav. This is on a nagging length, landing around the off stump and spinning back in towards the left-hander. Afridi expects the line to be outside off and therefore, he shuffles across the stumps. Shaheen gets down on a knee and has a hack across the line. Gets beaten on the inside edge to get hit on the front pad. The UltraEdge confirms no bat and the Ball Tracking shows three reds with the ball crashing into the leg stump.
