India vs Pakistan in ACC Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 — Who will win in this showdown?

[BouncerGuy]

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?

Pak A for sure.ind will simply send their younger players(u 23) to test them out but pak will send Jahanad,Tayyab , Harris , Kg etc to win the prestigious trophy. Later haris will argue its the best team supposed to win .As always , India will gain one or 2 players from the tournament while other teams ran away with trophy.one can take examples of abhishek, tilak, sai etc players in earlier tournaments.

Agree with vikram.

Both teams have different focus and goals. And while india will give youngsters a chance to develop learn and fail.
Pakistan will be sending in their best guys, no matter if they are for the future or not

Hope to see the youngster Noman Ali make his debut in limited overs in Pakistani colours here. It is a good platform to begin his LOI career.
