The stage is set for the first-ever Asia Cup final between India and Pakistan. This marks the first time in 41 years that the two cricketing giants will clash in the final of the tournament. Anticipation is high as the teams prepare for the final in Dubai, where the toss is expected to play a crucial role. Recent statistics from India’s matches are reportedly causing concern for Pakistan.
The toss will be a key element in the Asia Cup final on September 28th. Examining the last 10 matches, the chasing team has won five times at the Dubai stadium. The team batting first has won four times. One match was decided via a Super Over.
