India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 Today Match Playing 11, Full Squad: The arch-rivals India and Pakistan meet each other in yet another multi-national tournament on Sunday in the Asia Cup in Dubai. Both teams have had thumping wins in their opening encounters; however, this is the first opportunity to test the mettle of players and their temperaments to handle pressure.
While India does have pedigree on its side with the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, and a few others having already played Pakistan on big stages on a few occasions before, for Pakistan, in the absence of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, there are quite a few fresh faces in the side.
Regardless of the experience, one thing that has been evident with both sides has been their tendency to pick spin-heavy bowling attacks. While India under Gautam Gambhir has been operating with multiple spinners for a while now, for Pakistan, it is a 180-degree shift in approach from their pace-heavy side under the previous regimes.
