After 41 years, India and Pakistan finally meet in an Asia Cup final. India won both earlier encounters this tournament, but off-field tensions — from refused handshakes to ICC hearings — have dominated the buildup.



For India, anything less than a title would undermine their dominance, especially after Suryakumar Yadav dismissed the rivalry’s intensity. Pakistan, underdogs with 12 losses in 15 T20Is against India, see this as a chance to erase recent struggles and lift their third Asia Cup.

A packed Dubai crowd is expected as anticipation peaks. India welcome back Jasprit Bumrah and Shivam Dube, while Pakistan are set to go unchanged.

India (likely): Abhishek, Gill, Suryakumar (c), Tilak, Samson (wk), Hardik, Dube, Axar, Kuldeep, Varun, Bumrah
Pakistan (likely): Farhan, Fakhar, Saim, Hussain, Mohammad Nawaz, Salman (c), Faheem, Haris (wk), Shaheen, Haris Rauf, Abrar
