Team India beat Pakistan by five wickets in the Asia Cup 2025 final on September 28 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium to win the trophy. The T20 World Champions went unbeaten throughout the tournament, showing dominance in most matches.
Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav chose to bowl first. Pakistan openers Sahibzada Farhan (57) and Fakhar Zaman (46) performed well, but the rest of the batting lineup collapsed, and the team was all out for 146 in 19.1 overs. Kuldeep Yadav starred with the ball, taking four crucial wickets.
Chasing 147, India lost three early wickets for just 20 runs. Tilak Varma then played a brilliant unbeaten 69, anchoring the innings and guiding India to victory in the final over. Shivam Dube (33) and Sanju Samson (24) also made important contributions in the middle order.
Here are some of the funniest jokes about the game that fans shared on social media:

Salman Agha, the captain of Pakistan, thanked the bowlers during the post-match presentation but expressed disappointment with the defeat and faulted the batting unit for their poor performance. He stated:
“It was a tough pill to swallow. We could’ve finished with the bat well. In the bowling we were good, if we had finished well, things would’ve been different. We couldn’t rotate the strike, we lost too many wickets and that was the difference.
Salman Agha
Salman added:
“We need to sort out our batting. Bowled really well, one time we were on top, but we have to give them the credit and batting is certainly a concern. Very proud, we’ve played well, proud as a team. We will try to continue to improve, come back stronger. “
Salman Agha
India has won the Asia Cup nine times, more than any other team in the tournament’s history.
