The India-Pakistan final of the Asia Cup 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium concluded with India emerging victorious and claiming the championship title. Pakistan, batting first, set a target of 146 runs, with Sahibzada Farhan scoring 57 and Fakhar Zaman contributing 46. India faced early setbacks, losing Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shubman Gill quickly. Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson subsequently stabilized the Indian innings, attempting to build a partnership. Sanju Samson was later dismissed for 24 by Abrar Ahmed, but Shivam Dube joined Tilak Varma, who went on to score a half-century. The match intensified as India needed 24 runs from 14 balls. Although Shivam Dube hit a six to ease the pressure, he was soon out. Rinku Singh then entered the crease, and Tilak Varma’s six ultimately secured the win for India.
