Team India will start their title defense journey with a game against United Arab Emirates in the second game of the Asia Cup 2025. This game will be played in Group A and will begin at 8 PM IST on Wednesday at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

India Preview 

After a long break, the Men in Blue will be in action as Suryakumar Yadav will lead India to the 17th edition of the Asia Cup. They will enter this competition as the strong favorites and will be looking to start with a win.

• Key Batter: Abhishek Sharma at the top will be the one to watch out for. Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill will be two other notable players. 
• Captaincy: Suryakumar Yadav is a match-winner in his own right. He is one of the best T20I batters, and his approach is always about winning. 
• Batting Strength: India have one of the best batting units in T20 internationals. They have three of the top six ranked T20I batters in the top four. 
• Bowling Attack: The return of Jasprit Bumrah will strengthen the already strong Indian bowling unit. 

United Arab Emirates Preview 

United Arab Emirates will enter the tournament in the hope of doing well. They had a poor show in the tri-series and will be looking for some special performance that can help them do well.

• Batting: The batting unit for UAE is slightly weaker. They have limited resources when it comes to firepower. Apart from Muhammad Waseem, other batters need to produce something special. 
• Bowling: UAE have a decent spin attack, but their pace attack can be a sign of worry. Especially their inability to contain the batters in the final overs.
