The most anticipated Asia Cup 2025 is here, where eight teams will be battling it out for the prestigious trophy. The second match of the tournament will see defending champions, India, taking on the UAE at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on 10th September. India Probably one of the most favourite teams going into this tournament, as they are a powerhouse in the shortest format of the game. The Men in Blue have been running on a phenomenal streak of T20I victories, especially after the T20I World Cup victory last year. One of the standout facts that grabs the attention is that under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, India has not lost a single T20I series since their T20 World Cup victory. India last played their T20I series against England in January this year and won it convincingly by a 4-1 margin. Their batting lineup has solid performers at the top with Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson, and Tilak Varma at three. The middle order also boasts a solid foundation with Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube and Axar Patel. Their pace bowling lineup has Arshdeep Singh, Harshit Rana and Jasprit Bumrah to wreak havoc. UAE UAE, on the other hand, has not been doing well lately in the T20I format. The hosts are coming off a disappointing tri-series campaign, which saw them lose all four matches they played in the tournament. Additionally, the home side hasn’t registered a single victory in the past five T20I outings. However, they will be confident of their performance against Afghanistan and Pakistan in the Tri-Series. Moreover, the UAE also came very close to defeating Afghanistan just before the summit clash, but ended up losing the game by a slim margin of 5 runs. It is worth mentioning that the hosts have taken down Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and New Zealand at their home ground.
