Asia Cup 2025: 3 Players to watch out for in India vs Pakistan, Match 6

In the sixth match of the Asia Cup 2025, Pakistan will face India at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 14, 2025.

Pakistan comes into this clash after winning a tri-series against Afghanistan and the United Arab Emirates. However, they will face their toughest challenge yet in the Asia Cup when they meet India, the top-ranked team and reigning T20 World Champions.

India enters this contest after a dominant win over the UAE in their opening fixture. In addition to being the defending Asia Cup champions, India also holds a 9–3 head-to-head advantage over Pakistan in Asia Cup history.

3 Players to Watch Out For in India vs Pakistan, Match 6 of Asia Cup 2025

1. Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Bumrah is India’s premier bowler. Since making his debut in 2016, he has become indispensable across all three formats. He has picked up 90 wickets in 71 T20Is at an economy of 6.27, with best figures of 3/7. Bumrah was also named Player of the Tournament in India’s 2024 T20 World Cup triumph in the USA and West Indies.

Famed for his unique bowling action and hyper-flexible elbow, Bumrah generates sharp pace from a short run-up. He is lethal with yorkers, bouncers, and slower balls, all delivered with minimal change in action. In T20Is, he strikes early with the new ball and then dominates the death overs with his accuracy.

2. Fakhar Zaman

Fakhar Zaman is Pakistan’s most experienced batter, with 2104 runs in 102 T20Is. He has scored 12 fifties, with a best of 91 and a strike rate of 132.24. Since his debut in 2017, Zaman has been a key figure in multiple T20 World Cups and Asia Cups.

Known for his fearless batting, Zaman attacks both pacers and spinners from the outset. Though his technique appears unorthodox, he generates immense power, especially on the leg side. For India, dismissing him early will be crucial; otherwise, Zaman can take the game away quickly by setting up a big total or easing a chase.

3. Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek Sharma announced himself on the Asia Cup stage by hitting a six off his very first ball. Since making his T20I debut in 2024 against Zimbabwe, where he scored a century in only his second match, he has been a revelation. In 18 T20Is, Sharma has amassed 565 runs with two centuries, two fifties, and a staggering strike rate of 193.49, with a highest score of 135.

Sharma thrives in the powerplay, often going aerial and clearing the field with ease. He is untroubled by pace, devastating against spin, and has a natural instinct to dominate. With the freedom given by the Indian team management, Abhishek plays the role of an aggressive enforcer, capable of turning matches within a few overs.
