In Match 2 of the Asia Cup 2025, India easily defeated the United Arab Emirates by nine wickets with 93 balls remaining at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The UAE proved to be no match for a powerful Men in Blue team, as the run-chase lasted just 4.3 overs.
Muhammad Waseem (19 off 22) and Alishan Sharafu (22 off 17) were the only two UAE hitters to score in double figures. The Suryakumar Yadav-led team was completely dominant, with Shivam Dube contributing three wickets (3/4 in two overs) and Kuldeep Yadav taking four wickets (4/7 in 2.1 overs).
The only wicket to fall for India was Abhishek Sharma, who was dismissed for a 16-ball 30, while captain Suryakumar Yadav (7* off 2) and Shubman Gill (20* off 9) were undefeated till the very finish. The UAE’s five bowlers each let up runs at a pace of more than ten runs per hour.
The next match between India and Pakistan will be a high-stakes match on Sunday, September 14. Having won the match with the second-most balls to spare by a full-member team in Twenty20 Internationals, they will feel a great sense of confidence. The United Arab Emirates will play Oman on Monday, September 15.
