IND vs PAK Key battles:
Abhishek Sharma vs Shaheen Afridi
India’s aggressive left-handed opening batter, Abhishek Sharma, would eye another fifty-plus score in the Asia Cup 2025 when he steps on the pitch to take on the Pakistani bowlers.
Abhishek will be up against Shaheen Afridi, who has picked up form as the tournament has progressed, and would look to deliver a solid performance against India.
Suryakumar Yadav vs Haris Rauf
India’s T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav, who hasn’t had the best of the tournament as a batter so far, would be itching to lead from the front in the title clash against Pakistan.
Surya will face the challenge of Haris Rauf, who picked up a couple of wickets against the UAE, and will hope to deliver a similar performance against India.
Sahibzada Farhan vs Jasprit Bumrah
Sahibzada Farhan would want to score back-to-back half-centuries against India, having crossed the fifty-run mark the last time the two teams met in the competition.
Farhan will go head-to-head against Jasprit Bumrah, who will, all likelihood, take the new ball for India.
Fakhar Zaman vs Varun Chakaravarthy
Pakistani batter Fakhar Zaman would like to continue his aggressive style of play at the top of the order against India in the final of the eight-team tournament.
Fakhar will have to tackle the bowling of Varun Chakaravarthy, who has been going through a purple patch since making a comeback in international cricket last year.
