High-stakes drama await fans on Sunday as India square off against Pakistan in a pivotal Asia Cup 2025 group stage fixture. Despite the simmering tension surrounding the fixture and calls for a boycott from sections of the public, the clash remains one of the most anticipated on the calendar.

India enter the match brimming with confidence, having crushed the UAE in their tournament opener by nine wickets. The Men in Blue bundled out the Emiratis for a paltry 57, the lowest total in Asia Cup history, and chased it down with ease. Pakistan, meanwhile, also opened their campaign on a winning note, overpowering Oman by 93 runs. But despite the emphatic win, questions remain over the inexperience in their ranks.
