Asia Cup 2025 final between India and Pakistan will be played tomorrow, September 28, at the Dubai International Stadium.

For the first time in the tournament’s history, the two arch-rivals will meet in the title clash. India has already beaten Pakistan twice in this edition - once in the group stage and again in the Super Four - and now both teams are set for a third high-voltage encounter.

What happens if rain plays spoilsport?

While the weather forecast for Dubai is clear, the Asian Cricket Council has kept a reserve day (September 29) for the final.

If the match cannot be completed on the scheduled day, it will resume or be replayed the following day. However, if even the reserve day fails to produce a result, then India and Pakistan will share the Asia Cup trophy as joint champions.
