India beat Pakistan again in the Super 4 clash, making it another one-sided match.. The Men in Blue won by 6 wickets, bringing their T20I record to 7-0 since the 2022 T20 World Cup.

Pakistan managed to post 171/5 in their 20 overs after being put in to bat.. Opener Sahibzada Farhan anchored the innings with a half-century, while the rest of the batters chipped in with handy contributions.

Surprisingly, Indian bowlers had a weak start, allowing Pakistan to settle in early. On a rare off day for Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya, Pakistan found some momentum. But it was Shivam Dube who turned things around unexpectedly, picking up two key wickets to stop Pakistan from pushing beyond 180.

In the chase, openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill made the tricky target look effortless. India got off to a flying start in the power play, scoring 69/0, with Abhishek launching a trademark six off Shaheen Afridi to begin the innings. With the World No.1 T20I batter scoring his first fifty of the Asia Cup, the chase was never in doubt as India wrapped up another win over Pakistan in Dubai.
