MATCH PREVIEW     

It is the most-awaited clash in the Asia Cup 2025, where archrivals India and Pakistan will battle for supremacy in the 6th game. The rarity of games between the two sides due to the political tensions also makes it a novelty for the fans. Both teams have gotten off to great starts. The Indians defeated Hong Kong in their first game, and their recent record against the Pakistanis means they will start with higher odds. The Pakistanis defeated Oman in a one-sided game and shall look to build on the momentum. It is a high-stakes battle, and we expect a cracker of a contest.  

India Preview      

Suryakumar Yadav came into this tournament as the favorite on most cricket betting sites, and they haven’t hurt their reputation with a 9-wicket victory against the United Arab Emirates in their opening game. It was a clinical show from the batsmen and the bowlers in the last game. They have won the last two games they have played against Pakistan, and Kumar would like his players to draw inspiration from those wins and improve their position on the points table.  

Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill delivered an electrifying start in the last game, and the team expects a similar show here. Suryakumar Yadav will look to play his natural game in the middle order and build partnerships with Tilak Varma and Sanju Samson. Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, and Axar Patel add depth to this lineup and shall look to create fireworks in the lower middle order.   

The side will like a good start with the new ball from Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, as Pakistan has a strong top order. Kuldeep Yadav will be confident after his match-winning spell in the last game and looks to do well in the middle overs with Varun Chakaravarthy. Axar Patel and Shivam Dube complete a strong attack for the team and shall look to do well in this contest.  

Expected Starting XI for India     

Suryakumar Yadav (c), Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarthy, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh 

Pakistan Preview      

It was a winning start for the Pakistanis in the tournament. Salman Agha and his men demolished Oman by 93 runs in the last game. While they may have had it easy in the last game, it will be a bigger challenge in this contest. They will start behind in cricket betting apps due to their poor record against India in recent games. Salman Agha will expect a spirited show from his team in this game.   

Saim Ayub got out of the first ball against Oman, and he must deliver a solid start in this game with Sahibzada Farhan. Mohammad Haris played a match-winning knock in the last game and will look to build partnerships with Fakhar Zaman and Salman Agha. The lower middle order failed in the last game, and they will expect runs from Mohammad Nawaz, Hasan Nawaz, and Faheem Ashraf.  

The bowling attack did well in the last game but faces a tougher challenge. Shaheen Afridi must do well as the leader of this pack and strike early alongside Saim Ayub. Abrar Ahmed and Mohammad Nawaz must use the conditions to their advantage in the middle phase. The team also expects a tight show from Sufiyan Ashraf and Faheem Ashraf.  

Expected Starting XI for Pakistan     

Salman Agha (c), Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan, Mohammad Haris (wk), Fakhar Zaman, Hasan Nawaz, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Sufiyan Muqeem, Abrar Ahmed 

TOSS: To Bowl First      

In the last 20 games at this venue, the side batting first has defended the score successfully only three times. Toss is often the deciding factor at this ground, and the team winning the toss would look to bowl first.   

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

We expect good weather conditions in Dubai on September 14, and the wicket is expected to be excellent for batting. The ball will come to the bat nicely, allowing batsmen to play their strokes easily. Fast bowlers will have a tough time on this wicket, and the side that bats first must have 180 runs on the board to feel safe on this wicket.  

OUR PREDICTION      

The Pakistanis have a weak lower middle order that has struggled with consistency in recent games. It will put immense pressure on the team as the Indian bowlers will test them. The side also needs a strong show from its bowlers in this game. The Indians have lost only three times in the last 20 games and have a stronger batting lineup. It will be a close contest, but according to our cricket betting tips, the Indians will start ahead.  

Our prediction is for India to win
