Asia Cup 2025: When and Where To Watch India vs UAE Match Live on TV and Online

In an attempt to maintain their supremacy in the shortest format, T20 World Champions India will play the home team, the United Arab Emirates, at the Dubai International Stadium on Wednesday to kick off their Asia Cup 2025 campaign. Suryakumar Yadav’s team is the clear favourite going into the tournament, riding high on a 24-3 win-loss record since their victory in the 2024 T20 World Cup. They also have a point to prove that they are the continent’s undeniable kings. 

In contrast, the United Arab Emirates continues to seek international stability. They have lost all three ODIs, the most recent of which was in the 2015 World Cup, and their lone Twenty20 International match in the 2016 Asia Cup, meaning they have never defeated India in any format. Despite pushing both teams in competitive matches, the Emirati team most recently suffered a winless tri-nation series against Pakistan and Afghanistan. 

Suryakumar Yadav on Asia Cup 

Speaking ahead of the opener, India skipper Suryakumar Yadav praised the hosts for their tenacity. “They (UAE) have an exciting brand of cricket. Recently, they played a series and came very, very, very close to all the teams. We are very excited to play them,” Surya said at the pre-match press conference.
India, stacked with both experience and firepower, is expected to rotate their squad throughout the group stage, but will be wary of complacency. With the likes of Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, and Tilak Varma in form, the batting looks formidable. The bowling unit, led by Jasprit Bumrah and supported by Kuldeep Yadav and Arshdeep Singh, offers both pace and spin threats.
Interestingly, Surya hinted at the potential use of part-time bowlers, such as himself, Tilak Varma, and Rinku Singh, to provide flexibility in the middle overs. “We do not want to get to that extent. But it is always good when a top-order or middle-order batter gives you an extra over. We might need anyone on a given day,” he said.

The match presents an opportunity for India to fine-tune their combinations and test bench strength, while the UAE will be keen to challenge the world champions and make a statement on home soil.
