IND vs PAK Match Preview
India topped Group A with dominant wins, including a comprehensive victory over Pakistan earlier in the tournament. Led by Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian side looks balanced with both bat and ball firing in tandem, while Pakistan, under Shaheen Afridi’s all-round leadership, rebounded well after a close group stage. With both teams carrying significant form and pressure, fantasy players must carefully select their squads, paying special attention to recent matchups and key battles. The match outcome is likely to influence the final Super Four spots.
Dubai International Stadium Pitch Report
The Dubai pitch typically favors batting in the initial overs but progressively assists spinners and changes pace. In night games, dew can make chasing easier, so expect both sides to prefer bowling first if they win the toss. Batters who play spin well and skilled death bowlers often outperform average fantasy picks on this surface.
IND vs PAK Weather Report
Dubai conditions will be warm and clear, with low humidity in the evening hours. Dew is expected to play a role as the match progresses, potentially aiding the team batting second. No rain is forecast, so a full contest is expected.

Captain & Vice-Captain Choices

Fantasy Picks
While star players from both teams can dominate, recent performances and venue stats show key patterns:
– Focus on batters who can handle pace and spin—India’s top order and Babar Azam stand out.
– Death overs specialists (Afridi, Bumrah) are value picks given match trend at Dubai.
– Wicketkeepers like Rishabh Pant and Rizwan add dual value with runs and dismissals.
Players to Avoid in IND vs PAK, Asia Cup 2025 Super Four
– Fakhar Zaman (PAK): In poor form during the Asia Cup; struggled in recent Dubai outings and against India’s new-ball attack.
– Mohammad Nawaz (PAK): Plays a holding spinner role and may get limited overs if India’s batters start well. Has low fantasy output in high-profile matches.
– Axar Patel (IND): May not get a full quota of overs with Jadeja preferred and often bats low in the order, reducing impact potential.
– Usama Mir (PAK): Unlikely to be prioritized over more experienced spinners in crunch scenarios and may fetch fewer wickets.
– Iftikhar Ahmed (PAK): Inconsistent middle-order returns, facing a strong Indian spin attack, provides little fantasy upside unless promoted.
