The final was played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on 28 September 2025.
Pakistan, batting first, were bowled out for 146 in 19.1 overs.
India chased it down, scoring 150/5 in 19.4 overs.
Tilak Varma was the hero with an unbeaten 69 off 53 balls, anchoring India’s chase.
Kuldeep Yadav was the standout bowler for India — he claimed 4 wickets for 30 runs (4-30) in his spell.
Shivam Dube contributed 33 in the run chase.
Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarthy, and Axar Patel each chipped in with important bowling spells.
Pakistan had started strong: Sahibzada Farhan made 57 (off 38) and Fakhar Zaman made 46 (off 35).
But after that, Pakistan collapsed — they lost 9 wickets for just 33 runs in a collapse that turned the game.
India refused to collect the trophy or medals after the match, due to a controversial presentation ceremony.
But during the post-match presentation, India declined to accept the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi, who is the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and also ACC (Asian Cricket Council) chairman.
The reasons seem tied to political tensions and issues of protocol.
Because of this, the presentation was delayed, chaotic, and in the media some reports say the PCB chief walked away with the trophy.
