The Asia Cup 2025, 10th match of Group A, is scheduled between Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 17. The game is set to begin at 6:30 PM local time (8:00 PM IST, 2:30 PM GMT).
This fixture is a virtual knockout, with India already through to the Super Four. The winner of today’s encounter will join them. Pakistan enter as favourites, but the UAE are expected to go all-out in what could be a high-pressure contest.
However, uncertainty surrounds the clash after reports suggested that Pakistan may pull out of the Asia Cup over a handshake row with India. According to sources, Pakistani players have been informed that there may be no match today.
As of now, the official tournament schedule still lists the match, but off-field controversies have cast a shadow over the fixture. All eyes remain on the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and match officials for confirmation.
