India enters Sunday's Asia Cup final against Pakistan as heavy favorites after defeating their rivals twice during the tournament. The unbeaten defending champions have dominated every opponent while advancing to the title match in Dubai. Pakistan seeks revenge following earlier losses but faces a formidable Indian squad led by tournament scoring leader Abhishek Sharma.
Sharma has accumulated 309 runs across six matches to pace India's batting attack. Left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav tops the bowling charts with 13 wickets taken. Pakistan captain Salman Agha acknowledged his team must reduce mistakes to compete effectively against India. The rivalry carries added intensity as this marks their first tournament meeting since May's military tensions between the neighboring nations.
