The tournament will begin with the match between Afghanistan and Hong Kong on the 9th September 2025. There was speculation for a long time that the Indian Government might not allow the team to go to the Asia Cup.

But the Indian government has given permission to the BCCI, and with this, India will start its campaign in the Asia Cup 2025 by playing its first match against Oman on 10 September. Whereas the high-voltage match between India and Pakistan will be played on 14th September.

Apart from this, there is a strong possibility that both teams will qualify for the Super Four, then there will be a second match between the two in this tournament, and if both teams continue their winning ways, fans may be treated to a third match in the final on September 28.
