Just weeks after their fiery senior team face-off in the Asia Cup 2025, India and Pakistan are set to collide again — this time in the ACC Asia Cup Rising Stars, a rebranded version of the Emerging Teams tournament. The match, scheduled for November 16, carries more than just cricketing stakes. With India still awaiting the official handover of their Asia Cup trophy, tensions between the boards have spilled into the spotlight, adding extra heat to an already intense rivalry.
On the field, both sides will field their ‘A’ teams, but the pressure and pride will be anything but second-tier. Pakistan A, buoyed by home conditions and a strong domestic core, will look to assert dominance. India A, despite a modest record in this tournament, will be keen to make a statement — especially with the trophy row still unresolved.
So, with off-field drama brewing and on-field firepower ready to ignite, who do you think will rise to the occasion?
