The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has revised match timings for the Asia Cup 2025, with 18 of the 19 matches now starting at 8:00 PM IST to avoid extreme Gulf heat and boost primetime viewership. The only exception is the UAE vs Oman clash on September 15, which will begin at 5:30 PM IST. The tournament, held in the UAE from September 9 to 28, features eight teams split into two groups. The marquee India vs Pakistan match is scheduled for Sunday, September 14 at 8:00 PM IST in Dubai. The final will be played on September 28, with a reserve day on September 29 to accommodate weather disruptions. (PC: X/@Narendramodi)
