India displayed complete dominance in their Asia Cup 2025 opener, cruising to a commanding 9-wicket victory over the UAE. Chasing a modest target of just 57 runs, the Indian batting lineup dismantled the chase with remarkable ease, reaching 60/1 in just 4.3 overs and sealing the win well within the powerplay overs.

The match was a one-sided affair from the start, with India’s bowlers wreaking havoc on the UAE batting order. The UAE were bundled out for a mere 57 runs, struggling to build any meaningful partnerships against the relentless Indian attack. Kuldeep Yadav was the standout performer with the ball, claiming an impressive four-wicket haul that crippled the hosts’ lineup. Shivam Dube also played a crucial role, picking up three vital wickets and maintaining the pressure on the opposition.
