The cricketing world is gearing up for the much-anticipated Asia Cup 2025, which promises high-octane clashes between some of the best teams in the continent. With the tournament just around the corner, fans are eagerly debating who could make it to the grand finale. The Asia Cup has always delivered thrilling encounters, from last-ball finishes to record-breaking performances, and this year is expected to be no different.
Danish Kaneria picks the two finalists of Asia Cup 2025
Former Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria has thrown in his prediction for the tournament’s finalists, naming India and Afghanistan as his picks. Kaneria expressed his belief that India’s strength and depth make them clear favorites to reach the Asia Cup 2025 final, but he also highlighted Afghanistan as a rising force capable of outplaying other top teams to secure a place in the final as well. He cautioned Pakistan, suggesting that Afghanistan poses a significant threat to them in particular, as their balanced squad and fearless style of play could prove too difficult to handle.
“India’s team is strong and it will reach the final. But Afghanistan’s team will be such a team that will compete with other teams and reach the final. Pakistan will have to stay away from Afghanistan’s team. I think Afghanistan will be a big challenge for Pakistan,” said Kaneria on his YouTube channel.
