PREVIEW: Pakistan star punished for on-field act as final overshadowed by political tensions
Well, the Asia Cup final is scheduled to get underway in the very early hours of Monday morning, with the first ball expected at around 12.30am AEST.
India have won all six of their matches at the tournament and are heavy favourites going into the final. They have not lost to Pakistan in seven white-ball matches dating back to 2022.
Political tension and on-field friction have stalked the teams at the regional tournament following a deadly military conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbours in May.
India angered Pakistan by not shaking hands in either of the first two meetings between the teams in the UAE.
Unbeaten India won comfortably in the group stage and did so again in the Super Four round.
The tension increased when players exchanged words during last Sunday’s clash, with India filing an official complaint over gestures made by Pakistan duo Haris Rauf and Sahibzada Farhan.
