In the 2025 Asia Cup, India has already defeated Pakistan twice. They will secure the title if they win on Sunday, September 28, for the third time.
Can the Suryakumar-led team defeat their bitter adversary again in the championship game? They defeated them handily in the first two games.
Although Wasim Akram, a former captain of Pakistan, thinks India would start as the favourites, he gives Pakistan optimism by saying that anything may happen in the final.
Wasim Akram stated that “India is definitely the favourite, but anything can happen,” as reported by News 18.
“Pakistan needs to keep up its momentum and confidence. They need to play good cricket and have confidence in themselves. Pakistan can put India at a disadvantage if they capture wickets early. In the end, I hope the best team wins,” he continued.
There have been many controversies surrounding the last two games. Because he brought up the Pahalgam terror attack in his post-match remarks, captain Suryakumar Yadav was fined 30% of his match money. While batter Sahibzada Farhan was dismissed with a warning for his “gun” celebration, Pakistani pacer Haris Rauf was also punished for his contentious actions.
