The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has officially announced the schedule for the Asia Cup 2025, which will kick off on September 9 in the UAE. The high-octane India vs Pakistan clash is slated for September 14 in Dubai. This T20-format tournament will be played entirely across two venues—Abu Dhabi and Dubai—with the final scheduled for September 28 in Dubai. The tournament will feature eight teams for the first time, with India, Pakistan, UAE, and Oman in Group A, and Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong in Group B. Each team will play the others in its group once, with the top two progressing to the Super 4 stage. India and Pakistan could potentially face off up to three times—once in the group stage, again in the Super 4 on September 21, and possibly in the final—though they have never met in a final in Asia Cup history.
