India vs Pakistan, the biggest group stage fixture in the ACC Asia Cup 2025, is scheduled to take place later today at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Both teams are coming into the encounter with comfortable wins, and hence, their playing XIs are not expected to see much change.

Predicted India Playing XI – Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah
That being said, it is worth noting that Shubman Gill reportedly suffered an injury during training ahead of this match. If he is sat out, Arshdeep Singh might chip in to provide another viable T20 bowling option in this batting-dominated side.

IND vs PAK: Asia Cup Pitch Report
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium is known for offering a well-rounded playing surface. Early in the match, the pitch conditions tend to support the batsmen, but as the game wears on, it usually becomes relatively more challenging.
A glimpse of this was seen during India’s outing here against the UAE, where the latter’s batsmen got off to a good start, but struggled in the middle overs against spinners.
Exact pitch conditions for today’s India-Pakistan match, however, are yet to be revealed.
