India played Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 cricket match on September 14, 2025. India won the match comfortably by 7 wickets, chasing down Pakistan's modest total of 127 runs in just 15.5 overs. Key performers for India included Suryakumar Yadav, who remained unbeaten on 47 runs, and Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Verma, both scoring 31 runs. Pakistan struggled in their batting innings, losing early wickets due to effective bowling from India, particularly from Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel. Pakistan's best contributions came from Sahibzada Farhan (40 runs) and Shaheen Afridi (33 not out). The match was also politically charged with India’s captain Suryakumar Yadav refusing to shake hands with Pakistan's captain during the toss, reflecting tensions following a recent conflict between the two nations earlier in 2025.
