Pakistan EXPOSED: 3 Big Weaknesses Ahead of India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 Match

India vs Pakistan, one of the greatest rivarly in world cricket, and fans are crazy to watch both teams clashing for a trophy in a tournament. However, when it comes to Pakistan, there are some weaknesses that the Indian National Cricket team could exploit in the Asia Cup 2025 on September 14, 2025, in Dubai.

The Pakistan National Cricket Team is struggling to perform well in International Cricket, especially in T20I cricket. They even failed to qualify for the group stage in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 last year, and they also failed to get into the knockouts of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

However, Pakistan is now making a shift towards a new team, and they gave more chances to the young talents in the Asia Cup 2025 than the star players like Babar Azam and Mohd. Rizwan. This new team looks good, but lacks experience . However, there are a few players who have good experience, but the batting line-up is not mature.

3 Big Weaknesses of the Pakistan Team

Struggles in Powerplay Batting:

Pakistan National Cricket Team's biggest issue has been their inconsistency in the powerplay overs. The Opening pair of Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub isn’t performing consistently for their team. Both have been struggling against the pace bowling, and the bowlers like Bumrah will definitely be going to put these batters into trouble.

Both players are young and they are quite inexperienced in the high-pressure games like India vs Pakistan, which might lead them to lose their wickets early. However, this is a T20I format, and it is about fearless cricket in this new era, so both the batters will be looking to charge up against the Indian Bowlers.

Run rate and wickets thrown in the middle overs:

Despite having good spinners on their side, Pakistani batters struggled against quality spin bowling, which India has. In the recent series, Pakistani batters failed to rotate strikes and easily lost their wickets in the middle overs, which clearly exposed their middle-order.

But Players like Mohammad Haris and Fakhar Zaman showed good temperament and skills against the good bowling side. Pakistan’s batting unit will be moreover dependent on these two batters, and India will try to get these batters as early as they can.

Runs Leak in Death Overs:

Pakistan’s one of the main problems of losing is their death bowling; despite having pacers like Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Faheem Ashraf, they keep leaking lots of runs in the death overs, which helps oppositon to have good runs on the scoreboard.

India’s powerful batting line-up, including hitters like Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Shivam Dube, can capitalize in the death overs against Pakistan.
