The final of the Asia Cup 2025 is expected to be held on September 21, according to Indian media. A 17-day window has been finalized for the Asia Cup 2025.
Six teams will participate in the competition — India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and the UAE.
The tournament will follow a group stage and super fours format, which means India and Pakistan are expected to face each other at least twice. Their second encounter will likely happen on September 14.
While India is the official host, the tournament will be held in the UAE.
The Indian government is close to granting clearance for the event, amid earlier concerns due to ongoing cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan.
