The biggest fixture of the Asia Cup 2025 is just around the corner, and all eyes are set on September 14 when India will take on Pakistan in a high-voltage Group A clash at the Dubai International Stadium. The excitement is sky-high as fans from both sides eagerly wait for this blockbuster encounter.
India started their campaign in style, thrashing UAE by 9 wickets in their opening game. Suryakumar Yadav’s men looked dominant with both bat and ball, showing why they are favorites to defend their title. Pakistan, on the other hand, will look to begin their Asia Cup journey with a statement win against Oman before heading into the IND vs PAK clash.
No Century in IND vs PAK T20Is — Will 2025 Break the Drought?
Interestingly, no batsman has ever scored a century in India vs Pakistan T20I history. Despite several thrilling encounters, the highest individual score in this rivalry remains Virat Kohli’s unforgettable unbeaten 82 at the MCG during the 2022 T20 World Cup. Pakistan’s highest knock came from Mohammad Rizwan, who smashed an unbeaten 79 in Dubai during the 2021 T20 World Cup.

With the form and firepower both teams possess in 2025, this might just be the year when the first century is scored in an IND vs PAK T20I clash.
Players Who Could Create History
🇮🇳 Shubman Gill
India’s vice-captain is back in the T20I setup and looked in sublime touch in recent games. As an opener, Gill has plenty of time to build a big innings and is capable of converting starts into centuries.
🇮🇳 Suryakumar Yadav (SKY)
The world’s No. 1 T20I batter and India’s skipper is known for his 360-degree hitting. If SKY gets going, a century is never too far away.
🇮🇳 Abhishek Sharma
The left-handed youngster adds flair at the top of the order. If he gets a good start in the powerplay, he can bat deep and be India’s X-factor.
🇵🇰 Fakhar Zaman
For Pakistan, Fakhar is the most dangerous batter. His aggressive style makes him a nightmare for bowlers, and Dubai’s flat pitch could suit his shot-making perfectly.
Even if no century is scored on September 14, fans might get another opportunity to witness history. If both India and Pakistan progress to the Super 4 stage — which looks highly likely — they will meet again on September 21. That means fans could enjoy two IND vs PAK clashes in just one week.
India Slightly Ahead on Record
In T20 Asia Cup history, India and Pakistan have faced each other three times, with India winning two of those encounters. Pakistan will be eager to level the playing field, while India will look to extend their dominance and secure another win.
An India vs Pakistan match is always more than just a game — it’s an event. With star-studded lineups on both sides and the added narrative of no century ever being scored in this clash, Asia Cup 2025 could finally deliver a record-breaking performance. Whether it is Gill, SKY, Abhishek, or Fakhar, fans will be glued to their screens hoping to witness history being made in Dubai.
