The final match of Asia Cup 2025 will be played between India and Pakistan on Sunday. In this tournament, which started from 9 September, Team India has played 6 matches so far and won every match. India has also been defeated twice to Pakistan, which clashed in the finals. In the first group stage match on 14 September, India dusted Pakistan by 7 wickets. After this, India again won by 6 wickets on next Sunday. But the third clash is of the final. That is, the team that wins will be called the champion of Asia. In such a situation, both teams would not like to leave any deficiency in their preparation. Let us tell you the 5 deficiency of Team India which can become a problem for him in the final …
Bumrah’s poor rhythm …
Jasprit Bumrah bowled well in the Asia Cup group stage match. Even when the first confrontation with Pakistan, Bumrah took two wickets. But when there was a competition against Pakistan on 22 September, Bumrah did not appear in the rhythm. He spent 45 runs in 4 overs. No wicket was found. However, he definitely appeared in the rhythm against Bangladesh. But it is necessary to live in the rhythm of Bumrah in the finals like the final. However, Bumrah has taken rest in the match against Sri Lanka. So that they can stay fit. Bumrah’s role against Pakistan is important.
India’s poor fielding …
Fielding in the Asia Cup has been India’s weakest side. So far, the team has left 12 catches. This is more than every team playing Asia Cup. At the same time, Pakistan has left only 3 catches. That is, fielding has been a strong side of Pakistan. In such a situation, Team India will have to overcome this deficiency.

Suryakumar Yadav’s batting
In the first match played against Pakistan, Surya played an unbeaten innings of 47 runs. But after this Surya’s bat has been silent. He did not come to batting against Oman. But he could not even open an account in the match against Pakistan. Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed for 5 runs against Bangladesh. At the same time, he could score only 12 runs against Sri Lanka. If the opening pair is not able to do anything special in the final, then Surya’s responsibility increases. In such a situation, this poor form can be overwhelmed on the team.
Akshar-pandya is also not in the rhythm …
Even if India won all its matches. But the middle order test is yet to be done. Abhishek and Gill have covered the team’s huge shortage. Akshar Patel and Hardik Pandya’s batting is in questions. Even Shivam Dubey could not do anything special. If India’s innings stagger, then it is necessary for these players to stay in form.

Excessive dependence on consecration
India’s batting currently rests on Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill. Both have given a concrete start to the team, especially Abhishek, who is giving a fast start to India due to his powerful bat swing and excellent form. His innings gives the rest of the batsmen a chance to rectify the mistake and make a position.
Nevertheless, it can be risky to trust both of them only in a high-pressure match like finals. The middle order and other batsmen will also have to take responsibility, so that the team does not come under pressure when the initial wicket falls.
