Pakistan set a new batting record in the ACC Men’s T20 Asia Cup 2025 clash against India at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, posting 171/5 in 20 overs — their highest-ever first-innings total against India in T20Is. The previous best was 159 in the 2022 T20 World Cup in Melbourne. The milestone reflects Pakistan’s growing consistency in high-pressure encounters. Opener Sahibzada Farhan anchored the innings after Fakhar Zaman’s quick 15-run start, guiding the team to the historic total.
