The Asia Cup 2025 final between India and Pakistan is set to capture cricket fans’ attention today, with high anticipation surrounding both the match and the trophy presentation. Traditionally, the winning team receives the trophy from the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Chairman. Currently, the ACC Chairman is Pakistan Minister Naqvi, which has sparked curiosity about how the trophy handover will unfold if India emerges victorious.
Adding to the intrigue, Team India has reportedly boycotted the captains’ photoshoot scheduled before the final, signaling a cautious approach in light of the tense India-Pakistan rivalry. Fans and experts are closely watching not just the on-field performance but also the off-field ceremonial aspects, including whether India will accept the trophy directly from the Pakistani ACC Chairman.
This final, therefore, carries significance beyond cricket, reflecting sportsmanship, diplomacy, and regional sensitivities, making it one of the most highly anticipated matches in recent Asia Cup history.
