India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025:

“The way the boys are stepping up in every game is making my job really easy. I think they showed a lot of composure, character. Very calm after the first 10 overs. The way everyone reacted was commendable.”

“Jasprit is not a robot, he will have a bad day some day. The way he comes back will be important. Very happy with how Shivam raised his hand.”

“Shubman and Abhishek compliment each other really well. Joy to watch them bat together. Important to bat till 10-12 overs, and they did the same thing.”

“[On drops] That's completely fine. Our fielding coach T Dilip has already e-mailed all the boys who had butterfingers today,” he jokes at the end.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: Salman Agha comes for post-match comments today.

“We are yet to play the perfect game but we are getting there. Good with the bat, but with the ball in the powerplay they took it away from us. We let the game go despite getting 170-180.”

“There are a lot of positives, how Fakhar-Farhan batted, how Haris and Faheem bowled. Looking forward to playing Sri Lanka, very different challenge.”

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025:

“Today was pretty simple, I didn't like how they were coming at us with no reason at all. That's why I could give what I did with the bat. [Shubman and I] have been playing since schooldays, so we enjoyed our company. We thought today would be the day. I enjoyed how he was also giving it back.”

“I'm getting good support from captain and coach. I get to show intent, and that's how I want to play. If it's my day I want to make sure we win the game.”

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: Very good win from India! Tilak Varma sees it out woth a big six and a classy 4, and India have done it with an over and change to spare. He finishes on a confident 30* off 19, and India are off to a terrific start to the Super 4s.

Post-match reactions next.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: What a first ball for Hardik Pandya. On his legs and he times it so beautifully past the fielder inside the ring, and runs away for four. Two balls later, Tilak Varma with a sensational pickup for six. Less than run a ball needed now.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: Haris Raug has another! Samson picks the wrong length to try that pull across the line. Stays low and knocks him over. Still 24 needed off 20 and Hardik Pandya comes in. Won't want to give Pakistan hope.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: India need basically run-a-ball, and that means no risks needed at all. There's still plenty of batting to come, though, so they might be prompted to try and end this with some time to spare.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: Tries to take down the spinner, but doesn't get all of it on this occasion. He tries to go over long on but can't clear him. Excellent innings of 74(39) from the opener, departs as the erstwhile top scorer of the Asia Cup.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: He's not slowing down! He is seeing the gaps and his swing is so pure right now. He's connecting really well and is quickly onto 68*. Just 55 needed off the last 8 overs.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: India lose their captain right after they lose their vice-captain! SKY tries to walk across and flick Rauf, but it's a massive top edge which is well-taken in the deep. 106/2 now, India still well on top but a small opening for Pakistan to try and attack.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: Gill is gone! He was facing some discomfort, so took a physio break to get some attention. We get going again, and immediately, Faheem Ashraf gets one to crash through his drive to take his stumps down. Break in focus got him there, but also a pretty good ball.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: He really wanted to convert his rapid start into a big score, and he has done so on a day that really matters. He will want to stick around and see this through as deep into the innings as possible.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: Keeps getting better and better! 16 off that one, Pakistan just can't contain these two at the moment. Some ferocious hitting, sixes clearing the boundary by miles.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: Some verbals exchanged at the end of that over. Gill hits the four and stares down Haris, then says something. Haris tries to engage, and Abhishek joins in, having his partner's back.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: What a shot that is! Even someone as quick as Haris, Gill has all the time in the world to pull him in front of square and pick up four.

55/0 with an over in the powerplay to spare. License for Abhishek to really go for it here.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: The spinner this early against Abhishek, turning it into him, is risky. Abrar doens't even bowl too poorly, but Abhishek is so fearless in swinging through the line. Picks up 12 off that over.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: Picks the slower ball out of Shaheen's hand, and has the room to drive it over the offside. Picks up a couple of the next ball as well. Ends the over by clattering it through the covers again.

31/0 after 3.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: Saim Ayub gives freebies to Shubman Gill and the Indian vice-captain has way too much class to miss out! His first boundary of the game! India are off to a flying start!

India 18/0 in 1.5 overs

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: Shaheen redeems himself after conceding a six off the opening ball. Gives away just three runs in the remaining five balls as India begin chase with nine runs off the opening over.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: WOW! This is some start by Abhishek Sharma. Shaheen bangs one short and the left-hander times the ball for a six. Oh no. no! The contest is heating up as Shaheen Shah Afridi and Abhishek engaged in a war of words. It is all happening in Dubai.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: India's chase is underway with Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma in the middle. Shaheen Shah Afridi has the ball in his hand! Let the chase begin! A riveting contest coming up.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: India had a horrid day in the field as the side dropped four catches. Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill were the guilty party as Suryakumar Yadav looked shocked with the performance. The last time India put down four catches in a T20I was also against Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the T20 World Cup 2022.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: India might be under the pump but the official X handle of BCCI brutally trolled Mohammad Nawaz after the latter lost his wicket due to a brain-fade. We won't use more words to describe the situation as the caption used by BCCI says it all.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: This is a tricky total for India to chase. Hence, it goes without saying that Abhishek Sharma holds the key if India are to register their fourth win of the eight-team tournament. Shubman Gill has failed to set the stage on fire and hence he would aim to redeem himself at the biggest stage possible.

On the other hand, Shaheen Shah Afridi will have a spring in his step as Pakistan have runs on the board. Riveting contest coming up.

India vs Pakistan Live Score, Asia Cup 2025: At one stage, Pakistan looked set to go past the 200-run mark but of all people, Shivam Dube brought India back into the contest with two quick wickets. Pakistan eventually finished with 171/5 in 20 overs; however, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf are equipped enough to make a match out of it.

Can Abhishek Sharma once again throw Pakistan of their game? Only time will tell. Chase begins in 20 minutes.
