India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025: Winner Prediction
Given recent trends and team strengths, India is favoured to win. Their batting depth, strong bowling, and consistent performances give them an edge. Pakistan, though, is capable of producing bursts of brilliance, especially early on or in death overs. If Pakistan can get early wickets or restrict India’s top order, they might keep it competitive.
But assuming India clicks in all departments, expect them to clinch this one — likely by a margin, unless Pakistan sparks significant resistance.
