India A will be geared up to take on Pakistan A in Match 6 of the Rising Stars Asia Cup 2025 at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha, Qatar, on Sunday (November 16). With both teams coming off convincing opening wins, expectations are sky-high for a run-fest under the Doha lights.

Recent form: Both teams riding confidence

Jitesh Sharma’s India A kicked off their campaign in style, defeating UAE by a massive 148 runs. Young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi smashed 144 off just 68 balls, while captain Jitesh remained unbeaten on 83. The Men in Blue posted a daunting 297/4 in 20 overs before restricting UAE to 149/7.

Pakistan A, led by Irfan Khan, had to work harder for their points. After setting Oman 221, their bowlers delivered a remarkable performance to bowl the opposition out for 180 and seal a 40-run victory.

West End Park International Cricket Stadium, Pitch report

The surface at West End Park International Cricket Stadium has traditionally been favourable for batters. Expect another flat track with true bounce and minimal sideways movement. Another 200+ score at this venue is expected, especially in the upcoming match between India A and Pakistan A.

However, the pitch might offer slightly low bounce compared to typical sub-continent wickets, which could bring spinners and slower cutters into play as the game progresses. Dew is likely to be a significant factor in the night game, making the toss crucial. The team batting second could enjoy an advantage as the ball skids better under the lights.

The team that wins the toss is likely to opt to bowl first. With talents like Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Sufiyan Muqeem, this IND A vs PAK A clash promises fireworks.
