On Sunday, India faces Pakistan for the third time in the 2025 Asia Cup as the two bitter rivals meet in a winner-take-all showdown. Ongoing frictions between the two sides have dominated headlines after the players refused to shake hands following India’s seven-wicket win in Dubai; an action that was later mirrored by captains Salman Agha and Suryakumar Yadav at the toss in the Super 4 game.
Our attention, however, turns away from the politics and instead focuses on where the value lies in the betting markets. India have a perfect record so far in the 2025 Asia Cup, winning all six of their group stage and Super 4 games, and go into the final as strong 2/7 favourites. For Pakistan, their only two defeats have come at the expense of India. They progressed to the final following an 11-run victory against Bangladesh on Thursday and are outsiders to win the final at 10/3.

*Odds correct as of 10:30 BST on 27/09/2025. Odds subject to change.
Bet 1: To Win the Match – India
Unbeaten in all six Asia Cup games and comfortable winners in the two games against Pakistan, India are short-priced favourites for this at 2/7, and rightly so. They are the highest-ranked ICC T20I team in the world, so it’s no surprise to see they’ve dominated this series.
What is impressive is the manner in which they’ve dismissed a strong Pakistan side. A six-wicket canter in the group stage was followed by a seven-wicket rout in the Super 4, where they blitzed 105 in 9.5 overs for the first wicket chasing 171. It was dominant, brutal almost, and even though 2/7 on its own has little value, as the third part of this bet builder, it boosts the odds from 12/1 to 16/1.
Bet 2: Abhishek Sharma Top Indian Batter
The 2025 Asia Cup appears to be a breakout tournament for Abhishek Sharma. In six games, he’s scored 309 runs at an average of 51.50 with 31 fours and 19 sixes. But what’s most impressive is that he’s done this at an incredible strike rate of 204.63, dismantling bowling attacks in the process.
He smashed 31 off 13 balls in the group game between the two countries, then followed that up with a top score of 74 from 39 balls in the Super 4. He’s the number one T20I batter in the world and is a massive price at 11/4 for the top Indian scorer on Sunday.
Bet 3: Kuldeep Yadav Top Indian Bowler
Kuldeep Yadav leads the tournament with 13 wickets in six games and has been deadly with his economy rate, conceding just six runs per over. He was Player of the Match (POTM) against Pakistan in the group game, taking a brilliant 4/7, highlighting Pakistan's frailties against spin this tournament. He’s 11/4 in the T20 betting markets for top Indian bowler and at longer odds than Jasprit Bumrah (12/5), which suggests real value in this bet.
