Frequently Asked Questions

The final will be held on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at the Dubai International Stadium. The match is scheduled to start at 8:00 PM Indian Standard Time (IST), which is 7:30 PM Pakistan Standard Time (PKT).

Due to ongoing political tensions, India will not play cricket in Pakistan. While the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is the official host for this tournament, matches involving Pakistan must be held at a neutral venue like the UAE.

While this is their first Asia Cup final, they have met in five other limited-overs tournament finals (of five-plus teams). Pakistan has the edge, winning 3 (1986 & 1994 Austral-Asia Cups, 2017 Champions Trophy) to India's 2 (1985 World Championship of Cricket, 2007 T20 World Cup).
