Asia Cup 2025: India vs UAE playing 11, live match time and streaming

India vs UAE Playing 11 prediction: Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma are likely to be two openers. In this case Jitesh Sharma is expected to be India's keeper, not Sanju Samson

India begin their Asia Cup 2025 campaign with a clash against hosts United Arab Emirates tonight, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav broke the toss curse by winning it and decided to bowl first on the night.  The big news from the playing 11 is Sanju Samson's inclusion in the line-up along with the use of just one pacer in the form of Jasprit Bumrah for today's encounter.    This fixture serves as an important launchpad for India’s tournament ambitions, particularly with the high-octane India vs Pakistan match looming on September 14.  Check IND vs UAE LIVE SCORE UPDATES Asia Cup 2025 and full scorecard here

 

 

All-Rounders central to India’s game plan

 

Head coach Gautam Gambhir has been vocal about building a team around multi-dimensional players. His emphasis on batting depth up to number eight has shaped the squad’s approach, giving all-rounders a vital role.

 

However, the final XI still hinges on one key question: Will India go with a third spinner or add a specialist pacer? The answer could heavily influence how they approach this opening encounter against the UAE.
