Asia Cup 2025: India's Title Quest, Schedule, Venues, and Streaming Details Revealed

The stage is set in the United Arab Emirates as the Asia Cup 2025 gets underway, bringing with it the familiar mix of rivalries, drama, and continental pride. Defending champions India will once again carry the weight of expectations, hunting their ninth title — a record they are determined to stretch further. Their campaign kicks off on September 10 against the hosts UAE in Dubai, a day after Afghanistan face Hong Kong in Abu Dhabi to open the tournament.

India arrive with a fresh outlook in 2025, stepping into life beyond Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. The spotlight now shifts to Suryakumar Yadav’s fearless leadership, backed by Shubman Gill’s consistency at the top. Jasprit Bumrah’s leadership with the new ball and Kuldeep Yadav’s craft in the middle overs give India a solid mix of pace and spin. That blend of reliability and freshness keeps them among the tournament favourites.

No contest attracts more attention than India versus Pakistan, scheduled for September 14 in Dubai. Both teams are tipped to make it to the Super Four, which could line up another high-voltage meeting later in the competition. India will also face Oman in Abu Dhabi to round off their group stage, with the associate nation hoping to spring a surprise.

Group B looks anything but predictable. Sri Lanka’s will have the chance of a revenge vs Bangladesh, Afghanistan’s firepower will also be tested after the Tri-series letdown, and Hong Kong’s fearless approach will be in showcase.

As ever, the Asia Cup is more than just a dress rehearsal for global tournaments — it is about regional pride, long-standing rivalries, and discovering the balance between legacy and change. For India, it could be the moment where their next generation truly announces itself.
