No, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) announced that Mohsin Naqvi will not be present for the final match due to a pre-scheduled program, allowing Team India to lift the trophy without that obstacle.
Both the men's team led by Shreyas Iyer and the women's team led by Harmanpreet Kaur refused to accept their Asia Cup trophies from Mohsin Naqvi because he is the Pakistan Cricket Board chairman and ACC president, with BCCI stating they will not accept awards from someone who does not work in India's national interest.
The Asian Games final clash between India and Pakistan is scheduled to start at 10 AM on Saturday.
