 "'It has taken more than 40 years but we finally have it': Fans can't wait for historic India-Pakistan clash in Asia Cup final")
India and Pakistan will face each other again in the Asia Cup 2025 final, and fans can’t wait for the historic clash. Pakistan defeated Bangladesh by 11 runs in their do-or-die Super 4 match on Thursday night to book the spot, setting up the dream clash that everyone was waiting for.
It was a low-scoring game as Pakistan could only manage 135/8 in 20 overs with Mohammad Haris making 31 runs, while Taskin Ahmed bowled well for Bangladesh and took three wickets. Mohammad Nawaz and Shaheen Afridi also hit some quick runs to push Pakistan past 130.
In the chase, Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf bowled fiery spells to crush Bangladesh’s hopes, taking three wickets each. Bangladesh finished on 124/9, with Shamim Hossain’s 30 the only fight. Afridi’s early wickets in the powerplay were a turning point in the game. He was named the Player of the Match.
Netizens express joy as India all set to face Pakistan in Asia Cup final
The result means cricket lovers will finally see India and Pakistan in an Asia Cup final for the first time in history. Social media is buzzing with excitement with fans from both India and Pakistan sharing posts to express their joy.

Both teams have already faced each other twice this tournament with India winning both matches.
Sunday's final will be special not just for the…
India had already sealed their Asia Cup final spot by beating Bangladesh in the Super 4s in Dubai on Tuesday, September 23. They are scheduled to face Sri Lanka in their last Super 4 clash on Friday. With the final berth confirmed, Suryakumar Yadav and his team are expected to experiment in what will essentially be a dead rubber.
