India To Face Uae In Asia Cup 2025 Second Match Today

DUBAI – India and United Arab Emirates (UAE) will lock horns on Wednesday (today) in the second match of Asia Cup 2025.

The tournament marks India’s first outing under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, following the retirement of veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from the T20 format.

Historically, India and UAE have faced each other only once in T20 internationals. That encounter took place during the 2016 Asia Cup in Mirpur, Bangladesh, where UAE batted first and posted 81 runs for the loss of nine wickets. India chased down the target comfortably, winning by nine wickets.

In One-Day Internationals, the two sides have met three times, with India emerging victorious on all occasions.

Meanwhile, in yesterday’s Asia Cup fixture, Afghanistan defeated Hong Kong by a convincing margin. Batting first, Afghanistan scored 188 runs for six wickets in 20 overs, with Sediqullah Atal (73), Mohammad Nabi (33), and Azmatullah Omarzai (53) leading the charge. In reply, Hong Kong faltered, as only Babar Hayat (39) and Yasim Murtaza (16) offered resistance.

All Asia Cup 2025 matches begin at 7:30 PM Pakistan Standard Time.
