New Delhi, Sept. 28 -- India and Pakistan are battling in a historic first-ever Asia Cup final, with both teams bringing their fiercest rivalry to Dubai on (Sunday) September 28, 2025. India, unbeaten so far this tournament, won the toss and opted to field first in high-pressure conditions.

Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya missed out due to a late injury, leading to key changes with Jasprit Bumrah, Shivam Dube, and Rinku Singh coming into the side. Pakistan, unchanged from their previous match, relied heavily on their top order and new-ball bowling threat from Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf.

PAK 37/0 after 5 overs
