The Asia Cup 2025 final between India and Pakistan will be a historic game, given that it will be the first occasion in 41 year history of the tournament that these two cricketing powerhouses will be playing against one another. The match is scheduled to take place on Sunday, September 28 and it has a lot of meaning outside the game.
To India, victory would not only help them win their ninth Asia Cup but also serve as a pep talk and a motivation towards other challenges ahead such as the world cup. But this last has been accompanied by a build-up of emotions and controversies. Recently a complaint against Pakistan players, Haris Rauf and Sahibzada Farhan was filed by the Board of Control in Cricket in India (BCCI) with the International Cricket Council (ICC) over their provocative gestures on the earlier occasion of the game between India and Pakistan. Moreover, the two teams have not even taken the customary post match hand shake, which questions the spirit of the game.
Pakistan on the other hand are keen on getting hold of their third title in the Asia Cup and stamping their authority therein. Their run to the final has been laudable, and some of the players, such as Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf, have performed well. Another light of the Pakistan campaign has been the all round genius Afridi has demonstrated in the super four match against Bangladesh where he not only played with the bat but also with the ball.
The final will have a huge international following and those supporting a team as well as other people worldwide will be keen to see this historical confrontation. National pride combined with large prize money and individual awards make the Asia cup 2025 final a historical event in the history of the tournament. The stakes have never been this high as both teams are about to enter into this historic clash and this will guarantee a dramatic end to the competition.
