In-form Pakistan Shaheens will meet India A in a potential battle of fire and ice in Doha on Sunday in the Rising Stars Asia Cup 2025, and the focus would definitely be on the 14-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Arguably a star in the making, he stunned all and sundry in the opening match by smashing 144 off just 42 deliveries, an explosive innings studded with 15 sixes and 11 fours against the UAE. Jitesh Sharma added to the carnage with a rapid 83 off 32 balls as India piled up 297/4 in 20 overs, which eventually led to a dominating 148-run win.
Pakistan A too got off to a good start, defeating Oman by 40 runs and setting up a high-voltage clash between the two rivals. Matches between India and Pakistan at any level carry that little bit of extra emotion, and fans will be eager to see whether the intensity of the senior Asia Cup confrontations spills over into this A-team match.
The other point of curiosity will be the player interactions, particularly the post-match handshake, given the recent controversies in the Asia Cup 2025 and the Women’s World Cup.
