The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has officially announced the venues for the upcoming Men’s Asia Cup 2025, with the highly anticipated India vs Pakistan group stage clash scheduled for September 14 at the Dubai International Stadium.
The tournament, set in the T20 format, will run from September 9 to 28, serving as a preparatory event ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup.
Key Fixtures and Locations
- Opening match: Afghanistan vs Hong Kong on September 9 in Abu Dhabi
- India’s first match: September 10 vs United Arab Emirates in Dubai
- Final: To be held in Dubai on September 28
Potential Triple Showdown
India and Pakistan could potentially meet three times during the tournament:
- Group stage – September 14 in Dubai
- Super Fours, if both teams advance
- Final, if both teams reach the summit clash
Despite growing public and political criticism over India agreeing to play Pakistan in light of recent tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, the ACC has confirmed that all fixtures will proceed as scheduled.
