IND vs PAK Match Date: Be it Asia Cup or ICC tournament, everyone's eyes are on the date on which the match between India and Pakistan will be held. The news that has come out so far shows that the teams of India and Pakistan will face each other on 7th September. This day is Sunday. This will be the first league match. After this, another match can be played between India and Pakistan in Super 4 on 14th September.
According to reports, Asia Cup 2025 will be played in T20 format, which is in preparation for the 2026 T20 World Cup. The tournament will first have group stage matches, followed by a Super Four stage. If India and Pakistan perform well, at least two matches can be seen between the two. This format will make the tournament exciting, especially due to India-Pakistan matches.
The uncertainty over the Asia Cup has increased the concerns of sponsors and media partners. According to a report by Sports Tak, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has written a letter to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) demanding a meeting in the first week of July to announce the schedule. The delay has upset sponsors and media partners. Sony Sports, the official broadcaster of the tournament, showed the Asia Cup promo during the India-England Test, but the absence of the Pakistan captain's picture in it raised questions about his participation.
After Asia Cup 2025, the next three tournaments will be hosted by Bangladesh (2027, ODIs), Pakistan (2029, T20s), and Sri Lanka (2031, ODIs). The format will continue to change so that it keeps pace with ICC events.
