**India Extends Dominance Over Pakistan in Asia Cup Thrashing**

**Dubai – September 22, 2025** – India continued its winning streak against arch-rivals Pakistan, securing a convincing six-wicket victory in their Super Four stage clash of the Asia Cup 2025 held at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. The Men in Blue chased down Pakistan’s total of 171/5 with ease, finishing at 172/4 in just 18.5 overs.

The victory was fueled by a blistering opening partnership of 105 runs between Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill. Sharma blasted 74 runs off just 39 balls, including six boundaries and five sixes, while Gill contributed a rapid 47 off 28 deliveries. Their aggressive approach set the tone for the chase, leaving Pakistan struggling to contain the onslaught.

While Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya finished the job, earlier in the day, Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan top-scored with 58, contributing significantly to their total. Shivam Dube was the pick of the Indian bowlers, claiming two wickets for 33 runs.

The match was not without its moments of tension. Echoing recent controversies, players from both teams refrained from the traditional pre- and post-match handshakes. The intensity was further evident in heated exchanges between the Indian openers and the Pakistani bowlers. India’s fielding was also less than perfect, with dropped catches offering Pakistan some reprieves. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the Indian team cemented their position as a force to be reckoned with in the tournament. India has now won seven consecutive white ball cricket matches against Pakistan.
