Bhubaneswar : The 2025 Asia Cup is scheduled to be held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from September 9 to September 28, featuring eight teams in the men’s T20 format. India and Pakistan, long-standing cricketing rivals, have been placed in the same Group A, which also includes UAE and Oman. India will start their campaign against UAE on September 10, followed by the high-profile India vs Pakistan clash on September 14 at Dubai International Stadium, and their final group match against Oman on September 19. The tournament serves as a crucial preparatory event for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2026, which will be hosted by India and Sri Lanka. All matches will take place across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with India as the official host despite the games being at neutral venues due to political considerations.
If both India and Pakistan advance from the group stage, they could potentially face each other again in the Super Four stage on September 21. A third possible meeting could happen in the final on September 28, making for potentially three intense encounters within less than three weeks. The Asia Cup 2025 will showcase the largest edition yet with teams split into two groups and matches played over 19 games. The Asian Cricket Council president Mohsin Naqvi confirmed the schedule and highlighted the importance of the event to bring cricket fans together from across Asia and to provide a competitive platform for all participating teams.
