India started their Super 4 stage in the Asia Cup 2025 in style with a comfortable six-wicket win over Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday. Chasing 172 runs to win, the Men in Blue rode on Abhishek Sharma’s 74 and Shubman Gill 47 to romp home with seven balls to spare. India thus became the second team after Bangladesh to win their first match of the Super 4 stage in this continental showpiece.

With this win, India go on top of the Super 4 table courtesy their higher net run rate. Bangladesh, who defeated Sri Lanka the previous day, are also on two points like India, but placed second due to their lower net run rate. Sri Lanka and Pakistan are yet to open their account and placed third and fourth spot respectively.
