Pakistan vs India Asia Cup Clash Confirmed for September 14 in Dubai
The highly anticipated Pakistan vs India match in next month’s Asia Cup is officially confirmed after the Indian government clarified its stance on sporting ties with Pakistan.
The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, New Delhi, confirmed that while there will be no bilateral series between the two countries, teams can still meet in multi-nation tournaments like the 2025 Asia Cup. This clears the way for the September 14 showdown in Dubai, with the potential for two more encounters if both teams advance to later stages.
Pakistani players are also allowed to participate in international events hosted in India, though official authorization is required. The announcement comes weeks before the Asia Cup, reigniting cricket’s fiercest rivalry amid political tensions. India and Pakistan have not played a bilateral series since 2012 but have met regularly in ICC and ACC tournaments.
For fans, the confirmation guarantees another thrilling chapter in one of cricket’s most-watched rivalries. With the Asia Cup now in Dubai, billions of viewers will witness the drama and excitement that defines Pakistan–India cricket.
