India vice-captain Shubman Gill finished the match with a boundary of Simranjeet Singh, which shows India's preparations for the Asia Cup and for the upcoming edition of the T20 World Cup 2026 which will take place in India and Sri Lanka next year. This is the new Team India who don't know the defense or we can say, for them attack is the new form of defense. That one a one sided clash for India. India will now face Pakistan in their second clash of the tournament which will take place at the same venue on September 14, Sunday. 

Desturction continues by the Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav as he was off to the mark with a maximum, India will look to finish this game inside the powerplay. 16 runs and a wicket from the over.

IND 54/1 (4)  

Junaid Siddique came to bowl the fourth over as UAE were looking desperate for a wicket, but it made no impact as the Indian batters refused to stop the run flow. Abhishek Sharma smashed a maximum on the deep leg. However, Junaid got what he was looking for as he picked up Abhishek's wicket on the fifth ball of the over. India needs 10 runs to win this clash.

IND 48/1 (3.5)

The UAE bowlers have lost their rhythm against the Indian destructive opening duo of Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma. Abhishek Smashed for a Dhruv Parashar maximum and a four to end the over. India needs 20 runs to win this clash. 134 runs from the over. 

IND 38/0 (3)

It seemed like the Indian captain, Suryakumar Yadav, instructed the batters for an early finish here in the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai. Gill smashed Rohid for a four on the second ball of the over. 15 runs from the over as Shubman Gill finished the over with a maximum. 

IND 25/0 (2)

Haider Ali is to start the proceedings for the UAE, and Abhishek Sharma has come alongside Shubman Gill to open the innings for India. The Southpaw was off to the mark with a six. Indian batters are making a mockery of the UAE bowling lineup. Abhishek Sharma punished Haider for two consecutive boundaries in the first two balls. 10 runs from the first over. 

IND 10/0 (1)

India bowled the United Arab Emirates out for a mere 57 in their opening match of the Asia Cup here on Wednesday.

Kuldeep Yadav (4/7) and Shivam Dube (3/4) were the leading Indian wicket-takers while Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy got one each.

Opener Alishan Sharafu top-scored with 22 runs for UAE, who were asked to bat first.

Well, that was a one-sided domination from India's bowling lineup as the UAE were bundled out on just 57 runs. Kuldeep Yadav got four wickets and Shivam Dube got three; this was the second-lowest total by a team in the history of white ball cricket. It seems that India will look to end this match early. Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill are getting ready to end the clash before time. 

Is this a wicket? Okay, well, here comes the experience. Junaid Siddique will have to go back to the pavilion. Whoa, looks like something is happening. Suryakumar Yadav is currently having a conversation with the umpire. The Indian captain has withdrawn the appeal, what a great sportsman's spirit by the Indian captain. However, Junaid Siddique will have to go back as Dube bowled a short delivery down leg, and Junaid tried for a maximum but gave a simple catch to Suryakumar Yadav. Probably one of the best over deliveries by Shivam Dube in his international career. 

UAE 55/9 (13)

Shivam Dube got his second wicket on the first ball of his second over. UAE have lost eight wickets, and it seems that the side won't be able to cross three-digit mark in their Asia Cup 2025 opener clash against India. This is a one-sided clash for India. 

12 overs are done and dusted. Seven down, UAE and India are a one-sided dominant force against the UAE here at Dubai International Stadium in Dubai. Simranjeet Singh departed after the Umpire's call. The batter was walking away, but Dhruv Parashar pulled him back for a chat and a review. But in the end, he has to go back to the dressing room as Axar Patel got his first wicket in the Asia Cup 2025. Two runs and a wicket from the over.

 UAE 54/7 (12)

Shivam Dube shone with the ball as he picked up Asif Khan's wicket. The batter misjudged the ball and inside-edged. Samson picked a good diving grab to remove the batter. That was great bowling from the defending champions in the middle. Just one run from the over. 

UAE 52/6 (11)

Ten overs are done and dusted, and the UAE have lost half of their side, scoring just 51 runs. The side needs to look for a partnership and score more runs. India are in total control in the ongoing clash.

UAE 51/5 (10)

Well, another batter bites the dust as Kuldeep Yadav got second, he picked up UAE skipper Muhammad Waseem, who loves to play the sweep shot, got out on Kuldeep's unplayable delivery. Kuldeep Yadav is the game-changing spinner for India as he picked up three wickets in his first over. His third scalp was Harshit Kaushik. UAE batters are looking clueless as they have simply started smashing without watching the ball. 

UAE 50/5 (9)

WICKET!!! Another batter bites the dust, and this time, Kanpur master Kuldeep Yadav removed Rahul Chopra. Chopra took the bait and went for a handsome maximum over long-on. Couldn't time it well, couldn't get the distance either, and Gill moved to the right to pick it clean. 

Eight overs are done and dusted and India seemed to have more control in the game as they have picked up two quick wickets. On the other hand, UAE who were looking in attacking position during the powerplay, have started playing defensively. Just two runs from the over. 

UAE 47/2 (8)
 

Kuldeep also came into the attack in the seventh over, and the spinner conceded just four runs from the over. The UAE needs to start scoring runs now to score a big total. Skipper is Muhammad Waseem, still on the crease, and he can change the game anytime with his hard-hitting abilities. 

UAE 45/2 (7)  

Well, it seemed like the UAE batters are making full use of Bumrah's pace as Rahul Chopra and Muhammad Waseem managed to score 12 runs from the over. That was the most expensive over by the Indian speedster from his three-over spell. 

UAE 41/2 (6)
 

WICKETT! Varun Chakaravarthy joins Bumrah to take another breakthrough on the fourth ball of the fifth over. The mystery spinner is looking in a great touch, UAE batters are looking clueless. Just three runs and a wicket from the over. 

UAE 29/2 (5)
 

Well, that over was Bumrah's beauty as he picked up a big wicket and conceded just one run from the over. India have shown why they are the number one side in the shortest format of the game. 

Woah!! That was a toe-crushing, unplayable yorker by Boom Boom Bumrah to get the first breakthrough for India. Alishan Sharafu, who was causing trouble for the Indian bowlers, was troubled by the legendary Bumrah; he was looking clueless against Bumrah's yorker. 

Axar Patel bowled the third over, but it seems like UAE opener Alishan Sharafu is unstoppable here; he smashed him for a maximum on the last ball of the over. Axar conceded nine runs from the over. 

Well, that was a good over by Jasprit Bumrah; both batters were seen playing defensively against the legendary speedster. Just six runs from the over. Alishan Sharafu is looking in good touch as he finished Bumrah's over with a boundary towards backwards square leg

UAE 16/0 (2)

Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah came to bowl the second over and consedaring his skills, there are high chances that India will get the first breakthrough here. 

Well, that was a good over for UAE as Hardik Pandya conceded 10 runs. UAE opener Alishan Sharafu scored two runs from the first ball of the over. The game was going in India's favour but Sharafu seemed lucky with an edge and was rewarded with a boundary on the fourth ball, and that boosted the morale of the batter as he smashed another on the fifth ball towards Deep backwards point. Two boundaries and a double from the over. 

UAE 10/0 (1)

Both teams are done with national anthems. The game begins, Team India will look for an early breakthrough, and the win against the UAE will surely boost the morale of the Suryakumar Yadav-led side. Hardik Pandya will bowl the first over. Team India are looking super confident here at Dubai International Stadium in Dubai. 

India's pace spearhead will be seen starting the proceedings for the Suryakumar Yadav-led side alongside fast-bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya. There are chances that the skipper will also introduce Axar Patel in the powerplay considering his wicket-taking abilities with the new ball. We are just few moments away from the action. Stay tuned with us to get all live updates from Dubai.
