The highly awaited cricket match between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 is confirmed.

The Indian government has officially said teams from both countries can play against each other in big tournaments like the Asia Cup.

The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports in New Delhi explained that while India and Pakistan will not play bilateral series (one-on-one matches), their teams can meet in multi-country events.

This means the match on September 14 in Dubai will happen. There might be two more games if both teams reach the final stages.

This decision comes just weeks before the Asia Cup begins in the UAE.

India and Pakistan last played a bilateral series in 2012, but they often face each other in ICC and ACC tournaments.

Recently, some people in India wanted to boycott playing Pakistan, and the India Champions even gave up their semi-final in the World Championship of Legends against Pakistan.

But now, with India’s official statement, the Asia Cup match will go ahead without problems.

This will be the first official match between the two teams since the Champions Trophy earlier this year in Dubai, where India refused to visit Pakistan.

For cricket fans in Pakistan, this is good news. The Asia Cup is back in the UAE after being moved from India, and Dubai will host this exciting match that millions around the world watch eagerly.

Even though political issues stop India and Pakistan from playing regular series, their cricket matches in big tournaments still attract huge attention.

On September 14, Dubai will host one of the biggest cricket events in Asia.

Pakistani players will also be allowed to play in international tournaments held in India, but the Pakistan government says their athletes must get special permission to play in India.
