India clinched the 2025 Asia Cup with a five-wicket win over Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday (September 28). Sahibzada Farhan’s fiery fifty set up Pakistan, but a stunning collapse from 113/1 to 146 all out handed India the edge. Tilak Varma’s gritty 69* and Shivam Dube’s power-hitting ensured India overcame early setbacks to seal another tense India-Pakistan classic.

India’s Asia Cup 2025 victory over Pakistan turned chaotic off the field, with PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi reportedly taking the trophy and medals after the Indian team refused to receive them from him. The Indian players celebrated with an imaginary trophy, while Suryakumar Yadav and Abhishek Sharma publicly criticised the ACC in the post-match press conference.
