Weather Report before the Match
The Dubai International Stadium has hosted most of the games in this competition, and the weather at the historic stadium remains warm and dry again, and rain isn’t expected to disrupt the play at any point in the game. The surface of the pitch will remain batter-friendly and the team that wins the toss will likely opt to bat first. Inconsistent bowlers will be punished.
India vs Pakistan: Chances of Winning
India are the favourites in this Asia Cup 2025 final, having remained unbeaten since the start of the season and having defeated Pakistan twice in this tournament already. The Men in Blue have continuously shown why they are the best cricket team in the world, and no doubt their confidence will likely lead them to defend the title. On the other hand, Pakistan have done much to make it to the final of this competition, but it is now left to them to pull a shocker.
India's chance of winning - 77%
Pakistan's chance of winning - 23%
India Preview
India enter this final with a 100% win record, showing the world that they are in a league of their own. They began topping their group with three straight wins and continued the winning run with another excellent run in the Super Fours, where they defeated Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and even Pakistan to make it to the final. In their last match against Sri Lanka, India scored 202/5. Abhishek Sharma top-scored with 61 (31), followed by Tilak Varma (49* off 34) and Sanju Samson (39 off 23). For Sri Lanka, Pathum Nissanka (107 off 58) and Kusal Perera had a 127-run second-wicket partnership. With this excellent display from the defending champions, they have little to do to win the title.

Pakistan Preview
Pakistan have been exceptional since the start of this tournament and would have remained unbeaten if Indian wasn’t in the picture. They claimed the second spot in their group to book a place in the Super Fours, where they secured two wins in three to be in this final. In their last game, Pakistan defeated Bangladesh by 11 runs, scoring 135/8 with Mohammad Haris top-scoring with 31, and they left Bangladesh with 124/9 in response.

While it appears that it is going to be a walk in the park for India, I expect the Cornered Tigers to put in all the work in this game.
