Asia Cup 2025: Predicting India XI for match 6

India will face Pakistan in the 6th match of the Asia Cup 2025 on Sunday, September 14, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.

India started their Asia Cup with a bang, thanks to a huge win over UAE in their tournament opener. India have won nine T20Is compared to Pakistan’s three wins in the T20I matches they have played against each other. Because of the recent events between the two nations, this match is highly anticipated and a must-watch.

Here is the predicted India XI for match 6 of the Asia Cup 2025:

Top Order: Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav (C)

Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma are likely to open the innings, with Suryakumar Yadav coming in at the no. 3 spot. Gill has scored 598 runs at a strike rate of 114.03 in 22 T20Is, including one century and three half-centuries, with a best score of 126* while Abhishek has scored 565 runs at a strike rate of 193.49 in 18 T20Is, including two centuries and two half-centuries, with a best score of 135. Suryakumar is the third-highest run-getter in T20Is for India with 2605 runs at a strike rate of 167.30 in 84 T20Is, including four centuries and 21 half-centuries, with a best score of 117.

Middle Order: Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson (WK), Hardik Pandya

The Indian middle order is a strong one with Tilak Varma, Sanju Samson, and Hardik Pandya. While Varma has made 749 runs at a strike rate of 155.07 with two centuries and three half-centuries, including a best score of 120*, Sanju Samson has been impressive with 861 runs at a strike rate of 152.38 in 43 T20Is, including three centuries and two half-centuries, with a best score of 111.
