Pakistan pace bowler and former captain Shaheen Shah Afridi says his team are ready to give a complete effort to lift the 2025 Asia Cup with a potentially mouth-watering rematch against India in prospect in Sunday's final. Pakistan survived a wobble against Sri Lanka in their second match at the Super Fours stage to keep alive their campaign with a five-wicket win in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday."
"India, who face Sri Lanka on Friday in their final Super Fours match, beat Bangladesh by 41 runs in Dubai on Wednesday to secure their place in the final with a game to spare in the current stage. Pakistan and Bangladesh will now compete in what is effectively an eliminator on Thursday ahead of the final. India and Pakistan have met twice in this edition of the regional competition, but the neighbours have never played against each other in an Asia Cup final."
