IND gegen PAK Finale Live-Cricket-Score, Indien gegen Pakistan Asia-Cup 2025 Finale-Match Live-Score-Updates: With the crucial alliance between Shivam Dube and Tilak Varma, India returned from the brink and led the Men in Blue to a 5-wicket victory over Pakistan
Finale des Asia Cups 2025, IND gegen PAK Live-Updates zum Cricket-Spielstand: After India triumphed over Pakistan by five wickets in the Asia Cup final on Sunday, winning the championship, a lot of drama ensued. At the presentation ceremony, the Indian team declined to accept the winner’s trophy and their individual medals. For what reason? Due to the insistence of Asia Cricket Council (ACC) chief Mohsin Naqvi that he would present the trophy. Because the ACC chief Naqvi is also the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Pakistan’s Interior Minister, the Indians declined to accept the trophy from him. It took more than an hour for the ceremony to start, and when it finally happened, there was no trophy presentation.
Tilak Varma and Shivam Dube formed an important partnership that salvaged India from a dire situation during the game, ultimately leading to the Men in Blue’s 5-wicket victory over Pakistan on Sunday and securing their 9th Asia Cup title. Faheem Ashraf and Shaheen Afridi made the job tough by quieting the Indian crowd as they took down Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shubman Gill for single-digit scores during the powerplay. Besides Dube, Varma formed a significant partnership with Sanju Samson that helped stabilize the innings.
Kuldeep Yadav, earlier in the match, claimed 4 scalps while spearheading India’s bowling attack. Following a solid beginning, Pakistan endured a dreadful collapse, losing 9 wickets for a mere 33 runs and being bowled out for just 146 runs in 19.1 overs at Dubai during the Asia Cup final. Pakistan began strongly with Sahibzada Farhan making 57 runs and Fakhar Zaman contributing 46. However, Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah (2/25), Varun Chakravarthy (2/30), and Axar Patel (2/26) dismantled the remaining batters with ease, leaving only Saim Ayub as the other player to score in double digits.
India received some unfortunate news as Hardik Pandya was sidelined due to a minor injury, with Rinku Singh taking his place. Jasprit Bumrah und Shivam Dube nahmen zudem den Platz von Harshit Rana bzw. Arshdeep Singh ein. In the meantime, Pakistan will put forth the same team that secured victory against Bangladesh in their previous game. In the 2025 edition of the tournament, these two teams are facing each other for the third time within a 15-day period. India has shown dominance in the two earlier matches, securing victory in the group stage by seven wickets and triumphing in the Super 4 encounter by six wickets.
