The biggest match will be played on Sunday, 14 September in the 2025 Asia Cup. For the first time in the tournament, the teams of India and Pakistan will be face to face. Team India would like to beat Pakistan badly in this match, but there are 3 players of Pakistan who can become a threat to India.

1- Mohammad Haris

Pakistan’s wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Haris is considered a special batsman of T20. When he plays in the top order, he becomes even more dangerous. In his first match of the Asia Cup, Haris scored 66 runs in just 43 balls. He can also score fast against India. In such a situation, Indian bowlers will have to send them to the pavilion cheaply. Haris has a strike rate of 139.21 in T20 International. He has hit 26 sixes and 43 fours.

2- Sam Ayub

All -rounder Sam Ayub is the star opener of Pakistan. He can prove to be a match winner with the bat as well as the ball. Ayub has many special shots, which makes him a T20 perfect batsman. Along with stormy batting, he can also bowl brilliant spin. Sam Ayub has so far played 42 T20 International matches for Pakistan. During this, he has scored 816 runs at an average of 136.23. He has hit 36 ​​sixes in T20 International. He has also taken 10 wickets in Gedambaji.

3- Shaheen Shah Afridi

Pakistan’s star fast bowler Shaheen Afridi is very effective with the new ball. In such a situation, Indian openers need to be vigilant from them. Afridi can damage India’s top order with a new ball. Afridi specializes in swinging the new ball on both sides. In such a situation, Indian batsmen will have to bathe in front of them. Afridi can put Shubman Gill in danger with Inswing Bowling and Abhishek Sharma with outswing bowling.

The 2025 Asia Cup is a match between India and Pakistan on Sunday, 14 September. Whenever there is a match between India and Pakistan in cricket, the thrill reaches its peak. A situation like ‘bandh’ is formed in the country. Traffic ends from the roads. People cancel their plans and plan to watch the match, but this time it is not so. It would not be wrong to say that the same thing is not visible in the Indo-Pak match.

For the first time after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India and Pakistan will be face to face on the cricket field. Four months later, the match is important in view of the T20 World Cup in India, but for the first time in many years, the cricket match between India and Pakistan lacks the kind of enthusiasm that is often in the match between the two countries while the match is being played on Sunday.

Not even selling tickets, viewers are not coming to see practice

The most surprising thing is that till now not all tickets for India and Pakistan have been sold. Thousands of tickets for the match are still available. Very few spectators arrived in India’s practice session on Friday. The excitement about the match is also missing. This is the first time that India and Pakistan do not have housefu. This has never happened before.

Appeal is being made on social media that India should boycott this match, so no one knows how many BCCI officials will reach the match on Sunday, otherwise a large number of officials were present during the match between the two countries. The Government of India has allowed the national team to play matches against their staunch rival in multinational tournaments but this will not happen at the bilateral level.

The 2025 Asia Cup is to be played from 9 September to 28 September. In the tournament, 3 matches can be played between India and Pakistan. The league stage is fixed on September 14 and then between the two teams in the Super-4 phase. Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf has made a big claim about these two matches. Its video is becoming fiercely viral on social media.

In the viral video, Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf is talking about defeating India. In the video, someone asks Hari Rauf that India and Pakistan can clash 2 times in the Asia Cup. On this he says, “Both are their own. Inshallah.” Pakistani fans are sharing this video fiercely. At the same time, Indian fans are also continuously reacting to this.

In an interview to Times of India, Harbhajan Singh said, “He needs to understand what is necessary for him and what is not. For me, the soldiers of our country who stand on the border, their family who do not see them many times, they are instigated, they are not able to return home. They are able to return so big for all of us. So we cannot leave a very small thing.

What did Harbhajan Singh say about IND vs Pak match in Asia Cup

Harbhajan Singh further said, “Our government also has the same attitude that blood and water cannot flow together. It cannot be that the fight on the border, tension between the two countries and we go to play cricket matches with them until these big issues are resolved, cricket is a very small thing. The country is always a very small thing. The country is always a very small thing. Whether our identity is from the country, whether there are players, actor or any other. Playing is a very modest thing. “

Harbhajan further said, “Our brothers are standing on the outskirts, who are protecting us, protecting our country. Look at them, how big they have stood there with a big heart. And what passed on his family when he does not come back home. And we go to play cricket.”
