IND vs PAK Fantasy Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – 6th Match, Asia Cup, 2025

Match Preview

The showpiece event of the ongoing Asia Cup is set to take place this Sunday as the incumbent champions India take on arch-rivals Pakistan. With both teams refusing to play any bilateral series due to political differences, ICC events are the only place where fans can enjoy this rivalry.

Over the past couple of years, India has nurtured fresh talent from the vast pool that the IPL offers. Players like Shivam Dube, Tilak Varma, and Abhishek Sharma have honed their skills against some of the best players in the world and have made a mark in the international arena as well.

As a result, the Men in Blue are one of the strongest teams in the T20 format and are firm favorites to win. On the other hand, despite having talented individuals, Pakistan has often failed to perform as a unit and is also prone to crumbling under pressure. It remains to be seen how the two teams perform here.

Injuries & Illnesses

Both teams have fully fit squads at their disposal.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The pitch in Dubai is likely to be firm and flat, offering good bounce. However, it will be a bit dry, and the quicker bowlers will have to rely on variations to get wickets. The spinners, on the other hand, can expect grip from the surface and will play a vital role in this match. A score of around 170 is a par score on this ground.

The weather will remain clear with temperatures around 35 degrees, and dew could play a role during the second innings.

IND vs PAK Fantasy Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Sanju Samson is the obvious choice in this category, as Sahibzada Farhan and Mohammad Haris haven’t been in the best of form for Pakistan.

Batters

Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, and Fakhar Zaman are the top picks in this category. We are also selecting Tilak Varma, given his good record in the format.

All Rounders

Both teams have some quality all-rounders to choose from. Abhishek Sharma, Shivam Dube, and Saim Ayub are all capable of collecting points throughout the match.

Bowlers

As all three of our all-rounders are slower bowlers, we are selecting two frontline seamers here in the form of Jasprit Bumrah and Shaheen Shah Afridi. We are also picking Kuldeep Yadav as the spinner.

IND vs PAK Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

We are nominating Abhishek Sharma as the captain of our team. He is an excellent all-rounder who can play the big shots and can also pick wickets during the middle overs.

Vice-Captain

We are selecting another all-rounder, Saim Ayub, for this position. He played a pivotal role with the bat and the ball in Pakistan’s victory over Oman.
