It’s time for another Pakistan-India high-voltage clash in the Asia Cup 2025. It will be their third and final meeting in the ongoing regional competition after having clashed once each in the group and Super Four rounds.
The build-up to each of the fixtures including the final has been nothing short of eventful. Such has been the off-field drama that it has drowned out the spectacular on-field performances.
However, the focus will firmly shift onto the game, at least for a few hours, when the two teams are kitted out and, in all readiness, to have a go at each other one last time with the Asia Cup title on the line.
