IND vs PAK Head To Head: Anticipation is high as India and Pakistan prepare to renew their storied rivalry in the Asia Cup 2025 on September 14 in Dubai. Matches between these two cricketing giants are among the most eagerly awaited in the sport, yet despite appearing in 15 of the 16 editions since 1984, they have never squared off in a final.
That history gives their upcoming encounter even greater significance, with the result potentially crucial in determining who advances to the next round.

India and Pakistan have clashed 13 times in T20I cricket. India has dominated these meetings with 10 wins, while Pakistan has been victorious on only 3 occasions.
The early overs with the new ball are likely to offer some swing. Batters who settle in quickly will have the chance to capitalise, while fresh arrivals at the crease may require a few deliveries to adjust to the conditions. Winning the toss will likely prompt the skipper to opt for bowling first.
India have competed in 9 T20Is at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai and have won 6 matches. The other three ended in defeats.
Pakistan, on the other hand have played 31 T20Is at this very venue and have won a total 19 matches, 11 ended in defeats and only one match ended in a stalemate.
India and Pakistan have played a total of three times at this very venue in T20Is. Pakistan hold a narrow edge of 2-1.
