Suryakumar Yadav finishes in style as the Indian captain smashes a six to help India win by 7 wickets. SKY remains not out at 47. The Indian players avoid customary player handshakes too after the game. Perfect birthday gift for Suryakumar Yadav.
Suryakumar yadav at his best. Saim Ayub comes into the attack and the Indian captain sweeps for a four. HUGGGEEEE from Shivam Dube to end the over. Nawaz tosses up but Dube comes down the track to dispatch the ball into the stands. IND 123/3 (15)

Sufiyan Muqeem comes into the attack again and Tilak Varma welcomes him with a scorching six. Four more added to the total as Suryakumar late cuts to the third man boundary. IND 88/2 (10)

Time for National Anthems! Pakistan go first, followed by India.
Pakistan win the toss and opt to bat first in Dubai. Both teams go unchanged.
We are just about 10 minutes away from the toss. The trophy is being brought into the field, perhaps for the toss. It wasn't there during the IND vs UAE game.
According tona TOI report, Pakistan players were greeted with “India jeetega!” and “Bharat Mata ki Jai!" chants by the Indian fans in Dubai.
Dubai police have issued a public safety notice to phones in the vicinity of Dubai International Stadium ahead of IND vs PAK.
India have played only three T20Is against Pakistan in Dubai. Out of the three games, India lost twice and won one game. It must be noted that India lost the games while batting first while their win came batting second. Does that an indication of what India should do if they win the toss today?
The last time when India played Pakistan in a T20I was during the T20 World Cup last year in the United States. India had defeated Pakistan by six runs at that time in New York.
The excitement is less this time for the India vs Pakistan game, according to India fans. "Virat and Rohit are not there. We don't have no mood to watch the match but since we are Dubai, we came to watch the game."
The Indian and Pakistan players have arrived at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Even fans of both teams have also started to arrive in the stadium.
Traditionally, the Dubai pitch will help the spinners. But the fast bowlers will also get some movement in the powerplay with a slight tinge of grass on it. At the same time, batter will fancy their chances to flex their muscles. Dew might play a part in the game.
The temperature on Sunday in Dubai will be unbeareable. According to AccuWeather, the temperature will be around 32 degrees in the evening. It will go down as the day progresses.
Anyone entering the Dubai International Cricket Stadium without tickets or found carrying prohibited items may face imprisonment from one to three months and a fine of no less than Dh5,000 (approximately ₹1,20,187) and not exceeding Dh30,000 (approximately ₹7,21,123). Fans committing any violence, throwing objects on the field, or using abusive or racist language may face imprisonment and a fine ranging from Dh10,000 (approximately ₹2,40,374) to Dh30,000 (approximately ₹7,21,123).

Dubai agencies have rolled out a checklist for fans attending India vs Pakistan clash. No posters, flags and umbrellas will be allowed. A fine of AED 5 to AED 30k and imprisonment will be imposed for any violence.
Earlier, during India vs Pakistan matches, there were a lot of cross-border bindings that were on display. Remember Shaheen Shah Afridi's gift for Jasprit Bumrah's newborn daughter in Dubai a few years back? Well, this time, such things aren't likely to be seen.
With stars like Virat Kohli, Mohamamad Rizwan, Babar Azam and Rohit Sharma missing, all eyes will be on Jasprit Bumrah and Shaheen Shah Afridi. How have they fared in India vs Pakistan matches in Asia Cup? READ
Boycotting the Pakistan game in the Asia Cup 2025 will have a severe impact on India. India are planning to host several multinational events in the future and boycotting Pakistan will do hard to those chances. “We have decided to participate in the Asia Cup because it is a multinational competition. It is just like an Olympic, any FIFA tournament, AFC tournament, or International Athletics Tournament.
"So we cannot boycott the multinational tournament because if we boycott this tournament, that will bring a lot of negativity for all our future endeavours of hosting any multinational tournament in the country," BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia told HT.
As many as five Indian players will be playing Pakistan for the first time in T20Is of which Sanju Samson and Shubman Gill are a part. Read here.
Shubman Gll suffered an injury scare when he was hit on hand at the nets while batting on the eve of the game. However, the Indian vice-captain resumed his batting in a sigh of relief for the Indian camp.
Both India and Pakistan are likely to go unchanged today after their convincing wins.
This game will be special for Suryakumar Yadav as the Indian captain celebrates his birthday today. What a special day to play against Pakistan. An Indian win will be a perfect present for SKY.
