India will start its campaign in the Asia Cup 2025 from today. Today India will compete with the host United Arab Emirates (UAE). The match will be played at the Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
India’s strength
The team’s batting order under the leadership of captain Suryakumar Yadav is becoming very aggressive.
The return of Jaspreet Bumrah has brought more edge to fast bowling.
The defection of spin bowlers is also considered very strong.
UAE expectations
The biggest hope of the team will be on captain Mohammad Wasim, who has been breaking big records in T20.
However, facing a strong team like India is a very difficult challenge for them.
