Pakistan’s fast bowler Haris Rauf has stirred up excitement ahead of the Asia Cup 2025 by confidently backing his team to beat India. In a video circulating on social media, a fan asked him about the upcoming matches against India, and Rauf responded with a smile, saying:
“Dono apne hain, Inshallah” — meaning he believes Pakistan will win both games.
India and Pakistan are set to face off on 14th September at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. It’s their second group match, and fans are already buzzing with anticipation. With Oman and the UAE also in the group, there’s a strong chance India and Pakistan will meet again in the Super Four stage — and possibly even in the final, which is scheduled for 28th September in Dubai.
Asia Cup 2025 All Team Squads
- Oman Squad for Asia Cup 2025
- Pakistan Squad for Asia Cup 2025
- India Squad for Asia Cup 2025
- UAE Squad for Asia Cup 2025
- Afghanistan Squad for Asia Cup 2025
- Bangladesh Squad for Asia Cup 2025
- Sri Lanka Squad for Asia Cup 2025
- Hong Kong Squad for Asia Cup 2025
Both teams have gone with younger squads this time, making it tough to predict a clear favorite. India will be led by Suryakumar Yadav, while Salman Agha will captain Pakistan. The fresh faces on both sides promise an exciting and unpredictable tournament.
Despite Rauf’s confident remarks, recent history favors India. They’ve had the upper hand in the last few major tournaments, including the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. In their last Asia Cup meeting, India dominated the ODI match against Pakistan.
Still, with the intensity of an India-Pakistan clash, anything can happen — and Haris Rauf clearly believes his team is ready to rise to the occasion.
