India vs Pakistan Highlights, Asia Cup 2025: IND beat PAK by seven wickets in Dubai
India vs Pakistan Highlights, Asia Cup 2025: India continued their dominance at the Asia Cup 2025 and defeated Pakistan by seven wickets at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. India dictated proceedings from the word go and restricted Pakistan to 127/9 after they opted to bat first. In response, India completed the run chase with 4.1 overs to spare as Suryakumar Yadav wrapped the show with a maximum over mid-wicket. The Indian skipper returned unbeaten on 47 off 37 balls.
India began the chase on a strong note and accumulated 61/2 in the powerplay. Shubman Gill, however, departed cheaply as he was stumped for 10(7) off Saim Ayub's bowling, who also removed Abhishek Sharma after a blazing 13-ball 31.
Earlier, Shaheen Shah Afridi saved Pakistan from humiliation as his late blitz, featuring an unbeaten 16-ball 33 drove Pakistan to a respectable total. Kuldeep Yadav once again emerged as the best bowler from the Indian camp, registering three scalps from his full quota of overs. Jasprit Bumrah and Axar Patel returned with two scalps each, while Hardik Pandya and Varun Chakaravarthy picked a wicket each.
The proceedings kicked-off with Pandya and Bumrah injecting a blow each in the first two overs. Pandya removed Saim Ayub, who returned without troubling the scorers and Bumrah packed Mohammad Harris for 3(5). Fakhar Zaman and Sahibzada Farhan then led the Pakistan recovery and guided the team to 42/2 at the end of powerplay. The spinners then joined the act as Axar Patel dismissed Fakhar for 17(15) to break the partnership. He then removed Pakistan skipper Salman Agha for 3(12) in his next over, which reduced Pakistan to 49/4 at the halfway mark.
Then came Kuldeep Yadav, who struck in consecutive balls and pushed Pakistan further behind. Meanwhile, Sahibzada Farhan, who scored 40(44), was the highest scorer from the Pakistan camp.

6️⃣SIX!Over 15.5India 131/3
India vs Pakistan Live Score | Sufiyan Muqeem to Suryakumar Yadav : SIX! DONE AND DUSTED! The skipper of India, Suryakumar Yadav, finishes the match in style and India defeat Pakistan by seven wickets with 25 balls to spare. Touch full and outside off, Suryakumar Yadav clears his front leg away again and smokes it over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie to seal the deal. A thumping win for India.

Dot BallOver 15.3India 125/3
India vs Pakistan Live Score | Sufiyan Muqeem to Suryakumar Yadav : A pleading appeal for LBW, but only Mohammad Haris seems to be interested. Salman Agha, after chatting briefly with his keeper, sends it upstairs. Pitching outside leg? It is a full ball from Muqeem, on a lower trajectory. Suryakumar Yadav tries to sweep that away and finish things off, but misses to connect as the ball spins into him, and he is rapped on the front pad. The technology comes up and the UltraEdge shows no bat involved. Ball Tracking comes up and shows the ball to be pitching inside the line of the stumps, but it is projected to clip the leg stump on the umpire's call. Hence the on-field decision stays. NOT OUT!

MATCH UPDATE
India vs Pakistan Live Score | DRINKS BREAK. Another no contest brewing between these arch rivals. If Pakistan lacked confidence with the bat, their bowling just doesn't have the answers to India's batting masterclass. They have slowed down the Indians a touch after the Powerplay, but in the context of the chase, it does not mean much, especially with wickets not coming. Normally, in Dubai, Shaheen Afridi finds prodigious swing with the new ball (remember that 2021 World Cup clash against India? Rohit and Rahul - bang bang) but he has not found much swing at all here. Add to it, the spinners are not at all able to keep any sort of a hold on the batters and if the boundaries are not coming, the score is still ticking over. Figure this - after 10 overs, Pakistan had faced 37 dot balls. So far, India have face only 23. Small things. but make a big difference.

Flighted, outside off, Tilak Varma got down on knee and slog swept it over mid-wicket for half a dozen!

Carrom ball from Ayub, on a length, just around off and spinning away off the deck. Shubman Gill yet again charges down the track and tries to push it away, but does not account for the ball turning away from him. Hence, he is beaten all ends up on the outside edge and the ball is collected by Haris behind the stumps before he whips the bails off in a flash. Now, into the forensics. The third umpire is summoned for the stumping check. Side-on replay shows that Gill's back leg is outside the popping crease as Haris dislodges the bails off in a snap. Quick and slick glovework by the keeper there. Shubman Gill departs early on 10 (7) and India are 22/1.
