After their opener against UAE on September 10, India will face their biggest test against arch-rivals Pakistan on September 14 in Dubai, a clash expected to attract global attention. The team will wrap up the group stage against Oman at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Defending champions India, who have lifted the Asia Cup a record eight times, remain favourites once again.

Defending champions India, who have lifted the Asia Cup a record eight times, remain favourites once again. (AFP Photo) NEW DELHI: The Asia Cup 2025 is all set to kick off on September 9, with the opening clash featuring Afghanistan against Hong Kong. A day later, on September 10, India will begin their campaign against hosts United Arab Emirates at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The tournament will run until September 28, and the excitement is already soaring across the subcontinent. Fans are particularly eager as there is a strong possibility that India and Pakistan could meet as many as three times during the competition. This year\u2019s edition will be contested in the T20 format, making it a crucial build-up to the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup scheduled next year in India and Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n
