India and Pakistan's Super 4 match at the Asia Cup 2025 has delivered plenty of drama already. Pakistan posted 171/5 after being sent in to bat - thanks to Sahibzada Farhan's 58 and a 72-run stand with Saim Ayub.
India's fielding was not at its best with four catches going down across the innings. Shivam Dube was the pick of the bowlers - striking twice to slow down the scoring in the middle overs.

Pakistan's 171 could prove tricky on a pitch that looked good for batting. Farhan's half-century and useful cameos from Nawaz and Faheem Ashraf gave them a competitive total - though the innings lost momentum after the 10-over mark.
Dube's double-strike in the middle overs played a key role in restricting them. For India, history is on their side.
Seven successful chases from seven attempts underline their dominance in this fixture when batting second. Now, it's over to the top order to see if that streak continues in Dubai.
