IND A vs PAK A Match Prediction & Analysis

Both India A and Pakistan A had statement wins in their opening games of the 2025 Asia Cup Rising Stars tournament but it was certainly India A who caught the eye the most with their huge margin of victory!

That's not to say that Pakistan A did not impress either, and a 40-run success in a T20 match should never be sniffed at, particularly as the margin could have been much bigger apart from a couple of lower order batters chancing their arms.

With a 17:30 local time start, this game should see plenty of local workers come down to support their nation's A side. Under lights as well, all the ingredients for an exciting contest are here.

It's India versus Pakistan, once again.

TEAMS PREVIEW

India A Preview

As 14 year olds go, Vaibhav Suryavanshi probably holds the record for the most column inches written about a player of his age, but his talent is such that nothing seems like hyperbole.

India as a country have so much depth in their cricket stocks that the likes of Naman Dhir, captain Jitesh Sharma, Ramandeep Singh and Yash Thakur could all be playing for the full side and no-one would question the selection.

Suryavanshi hit 144 runs from 42 balls against UAE and will no-doubt go out and look to bat in the same manner in this game. Jitesh is also in fantastic form after making 83 not out from 32 balls.

With the ball, Gurjapneet Singh comes into this match after taking 3/18 while Yash Thakur took 1/22 - both will be particularly hard to handle in this contest.

India A Predicted Playing XI:

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Priyansh Arya, Naman Dhir, Jitesh Sharma (c) (wk), Nehal Wadhera, Ramandeep Singh, Ashutosh Sharma, Harsh Dubey, Yash Thakur, Gurjapneet Singh, Suyash Sharma

India A Actual Playing XI:

Priyansh Arya, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Ashutosh Sharma, Yash Thakur, Suyash Sharma, Jitesh Sharma, Naman Dhir, Ramandeep Singh, Nehal Wadhera, Gurjapneet Singh, Harsh Dubey

Pakistan A Preview

Two of Pakistan A's batters stood out in their win over Oman - opener Maaz Sadaqat and skipper Irfan Khan both impressed so plenty will be expected of them once more.

That's not to say that there are no other batting talents in the side with opener Mohammad Naeem and Mohammad Faiq both very attacking players from the off.

With the ball, Ubaid Shah will be looking to add to his three wicket haul from the last game while Maaz Sadaqat was particularly impressive with 2/14 against Oman.

Pakistan A have a tough challenge here, but their players will be very up for it.

Pakistan A Predicted Playing XI:

Mohammad Naeem, Maaz Sadaqat, Yasir Khan, Mohammad Faiq, Irfan Khan (c), Saad Masood, Ghazi Ghori (wk), Mubasir Khan, Ubaid Shah, Mohammad Salman, Ahmed Daniyal

Pakistan A Actual Playing XI:

Yasir Khan, Mohammad Naeem, Irfan Khan, Saad Masood, Mohammad Faiq, Maaz Sadaqat, Ghazi Ghori, Ahmed Daniyal, Ubaid Shah, Sufiyan Muqeem, Shahid Aziz
