India continued their impressive run in the Asia Cup 2025 with a dominant seven-wicket victory over Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday. Captain Suryakumar Yadav once again rose to the occasion, guiding his side home with a composed unbeaten 47 off 37 balls. India wrapped up the modest 128-run chase in just 15.5 overs, underlining their supremacy in the high-pressure clash.

The chase had a fiery start thanks to Abhishek Sharma, who smashed 31 from just 13 balls, dismantling Pakistan’s new-ball attack. Though Saim Ayub gave Pakistan a glimmer of hope by dismissing Abhishek, Shubman Gill, and Tilak Varma, India’s captain ensured there were no further slip-ups. His calm yet authoritative innings kept the scoreboard ticking until the winning runs were struck.

Earlier, Pakistan’s batting line-up collapsed against India’s spin-heavy attack. Kuldeep Yadav (3/18) and Axar Patel (2/18) spun a web around their opponents, while Jasprit Bumrah (2/28) provided crucial breakthroughs. Opener Sahibzada Farhan’s 40 was the lone bright spot before Shaheen Afridi’s late cameo of 33 off 16 balls lifted Pakistan to 127/9, saving them from complete humiliation.

India’s balanced display with bat and ball left no doubt about their credentials as tournament favourites.
