Dubai, 14 September (). India and Pakistan cricket team are face to face at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the most exciting match of Asia Cup 2025. Pakistan captain Salman Ali Aga has decided to bat after winning the toss.
Pakistan captain Salman Ali Aga said, “We are going to bat first. We are playing good cricket, very excited. The wicket is slow. Just bats first and want to score runs. We are here for about 20 days and have become accustomed to the situation.”
Indian captain Sarykumar Yadav said, “We wanted to bowl first, and are happy with it. We played only one pitch away, the wicket was good and better to bat at night. There is moisture, so expected dew. There is no change in the team.”
