India, eight-time Asia Cup champions, march into the final under Suryakumar Yadav’s leadership, while Pakistan, two-time winners, will be captained by Salman Ali Agha. Despite their past glories, never before have these two nations locked horns for the coveted Asia Cup trophy.

This will be their third face-off in this tournament. India clinched both the previous encounter, first by 7 wickets in the group stage and then by 6 wickets in the Super Four. Key performances from Kuldeep Yadav’s 3 wickets and Abhishek Sharma’s fiery 74 runs off 39 balls made the difference. But the final is a different ball game, and Pakistan, rejuvenated after wins over Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, won’t be taken lightly.
