SRINAGAR: India clinched the Asia Cup 2025 title with a five-wicket victory over Pakistan in a historic final at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. India earlier vanquished Pakistan twice in this edition, once in the group stage and once in the Super 4s. In reply, India lost early wickets, with the trio of Abhishek Sharma, captain Suryakumar Yadav, and Shubman Gill falling cheaply. The chase was anchored by Tilak Varma, who struck a gritty half-century, and supported by Shivam Dube and Sanju Samson’s measured contributions. India advanced steadily towards the 147-run target, keeping their composure despite the mounting pressure of a high-stakes final.
