IND vs PAK Final: Pakistan Collapse as Indian Spinners Strike in Asia Cup 2025
IND vs PAK, Asia Cup 2025 Final Live Score: Pakistan Collapse After Strong Start as Indian Spinners Dominate
Dubai: The high-voltage Asia Cup 2025 final between India and Pakistan has witnessed a dramatic turnaround as Pakistan collapsed to 133/6 in 16.1 overs after a flying start. Captain Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and opted to bowl first, trusting his spin attack in the pressure-filled clash. Pakistan openers stitched together a solid 84-run stand, giving their side a promising platform in the grand finale. However, once the partnership was broken, the Indian spin trio of Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel dismantled the middle order.
Key batters including Saim Ayub (14), Mohammad Haris (0), Salman Ali Agha (8), and Hussain Talat (1) fell cheaply, leaving Pakistan struggling. Sanju Samson showcased brilliance behind the stumps with a sharp catch, while his diving effort in the field added to the pressure. A moment of drama unfolded when Axar Patel’s throw struck Salman Agha, prompting an appeal for obstruction, but the third umpire ruled him not out. Despite the brief reprieve, Agha could not capitalize and perished soon after.
The middle-order collapse has undone Pakistan’s early advantage, putting India firmly in control of the final. With spinners dictating terms and Pakistan’s scoring rate slowing, the Men in Blue look poised to tighten their grip further. Fans across Dubai and around the world are witnessing yet another intense chapter in the iconic India vs Pakistan rivalry.
