India secured their record-extending 9th Asia Cup title with a sensational 5-wicket victory over Pakistan in a high-voltage final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 28, 2025. Chasing a modest 147, India reached 150/5 in 19.4 overs, thanks to stellar contributions from Tilak Varma, who remained unbeaten on 69 off 53 balls, and Shivam Dube, who added a quickfire 33 off 22 deliveries.

Pakistan looked in control early, powered by Sahibzada Farhan’s explosive 57 off 38 balls, which provided the Men in Green a strong platform. However, India’s bowlers clawed back the momentum in the middle overs. Kuldeep Yadav emerged as the standout performer with figures of 4/30, dismantling Pakistan’s middle order, while Axar Patel supported with 2/26.

Pakistan’s Faheem Ashraf was the pick of the bowlers for his side, taking 3 crucial wickets. The match also featured tense and controversial moments. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav’s appeal for obstruction of the field against Pakistan skipper Salman Agha was turned down by the umpires, eliciting boos from the crowd.
Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah’s brilliant yorker removed Haris Rauf, and his celebratory “jet down” gesture referenced Rauf’s previous on-field antics during the Super Four clash. This win not only reinforces India’s dominance in the Asia Cup but also highlights emerging stars like Tilak Varma, whose composure under pressure was instrumental. Shivam Dube’s quickfire innings and the bowling unit’s clinical execution underlined India’s balance and depth.

No, India weren’t at their best at the Asia Cup.
Bumrah looked off-colour at times. SKY couldn’t find runs. Gill made runs but on and off. It is still not clear where Samson should play. Pandya’s absence offset the balance in the final.
