Upcoming Matches vs Pakistan
Dube already played two matches vs Pakistan at Dubai in Asia Cup 2025 — one as a finisher and one as a wicket-taking bowler.

While Shivam Dube’s record vs Pakistan is still in its early stages, his finishing cameo, his 2/33 in the Super Four, and his 3/4 vs UAE prove that he has the potential to be a match-winner. If he continues this form, India will have a powerful all-rounder capable of changing the course of high-voltage encounters.
