The India vs. Pakistan final in the Asia Cup 2025 promises a thrilling encounter, being the third time these teams meet in the tournament. In their earlier clashes, India dominated Pakistan, with Abhishek Sharma, the dynamic opener, playing a crucial role. Sharma is now geared up for a double challenge in the final. His goals include securing a win for India and outperforming the records held by Pakistani stars Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. In the group stage, Sharma scored 31 runs from 13 balls, featuring 4 fours and 2 sixes, with a strike rate of 238.46. During the Super-4 stage, he scored 74 runs off 39 balls, which included 6 fours and 5 sixes. Over the first two matches against Pakistan, he accumulated 105 runs in 52 balls, including 7 sixes and 10 fours. The final is an important opportunity for India to win the Asia Cup, and Sharma is likely to perform strongly. His performance could also potentially break records held by Pakistani players, such as Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan.
Currently, Sharma is one of the batsmen with the most 30+ scores in T20Is, having scored 7 such times. Mohammad Rizwan of Pakistan and Rohit Sharma of India have also achieved this. If Sharma scores another 30+ in the final, he would overtake Rizwan. In T20 Internationals, KL Rahul has the most consecutive 25+ scores (10). Babar Azam has 8. Abhishek Sharma is now level with Azam, and scoring 25+ in the final could break Azam’s record.
