Unbeaten Pakistan A take on a resurgent Sri Lanka A in the second semi-final of the Rising Stars Asia Cup 2025. Pakistan A enter with strong momentum, having dominated the group stage and convincingly beaten India, powered by Maaz Sadaqat’s explosive form and all-round brilliance. Their pace trio—Shahid Aziz, Saad Masood, and Ubaid Shah—has kept opposition batters in check throughout the tournament.

Sri Lanka A, after a shaky start against Afghanistan A, bounced back with wins over Hong Kong and Bangladesh A. Skipper Dunith Wellalage has led from the front with the ball, while Nuwanidu Fernando and Sahan Arachchige have chipped in with vital runs.

Squads:

Sri Lanka A
Squad: Nishan Madushka(w), Vishen Halambage, Lasith Croospulle, Nuwanidu Fernando, Sahan Arachchige, Ramesh Mendis, Dunith Wellalage(c), Milan Priyanath Rathnayake, Pramod Madushan, Garuka Sanketh, Traveen Mathew, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, Ahan Wickramasinghe, Isitha Wijesundera, Sohan de Livera

Pakistan A Squad: Mohammad Naeem, Maaz Sadaqat, Ghazi Ghori(w), Yasir Khan, Mohammad Faiq, Irfan Khan(c), Arafat Minhas, Muhammad Shahzad, Shahid Aziz, Ahmed Daniyal, Sufiyan Muqeem, Khurram Shahzad, Mubasir Khan, Saad Masood, Ubaid Shah, Mohammad Salman

First they should try and win the Semis...

I am expecting another India-pakistan final
 
Tight match between BD and India. India still need 19 runs from 9 balls.
 
Lol they guy dropped the catch and gave away 4 runs as well
 
India needed 4 runs off the last ball. Indian batters managed to ran only 2. But the stupid Keeper (Captain) after the collecting the ball, threw it away. LMAO

So Ridiculous it felt like the keeper had either fixed the game or had seizure.
 
Bangladesh having a massive meltdown. They missed 2 huge opportunities in the last 3 overs. But what the captain did on the last ball was just :eek:
 
LOOOL Jitesh Sharma came in to play the super over and has managed to get himself bowled trying the play reverse scoop.
 
Ashutosh gone also!

Super Over 1st innings done. India A 0-2.

Bangladesh needs 1 run off 6 balls!

Suryavanshi didn't even came to bat!

Brain fade all around from both teams. Proper sh*t Cricket!
 
This game between India A v Bangladesh A proved, and probably the whole tournament that Suryavanshi is the only serious talent. Rest IPL showboys are just small negligible sparks.
 
And the brain fade continues!

Bangladesh needed 1 off 6 balls and Yasir Ali hoicked it in the sky and gets caught near the boundary.
 
Bowler bowls a wide and that's how Bangladesh won! The batter can't believe it and thanking the heavens because both teams wanted to lose this Semi Final.


Proper Circus. #PaisaWasool
 
That BD A vs Ind A was madness. Akbar Ali bottled it. I had to leave for Jummah. Then came back and saw Bd A won by a wide after Ind A scored 0 off their super over. I didnt think Bd a would win super over.
 
Just listening to BD A captain post match interview he apologised for having the brain fade!
 
soo much hype about SUryavanshi but he is not good enough to be sent in here for a super over
 
ACC Men's Rising Stars Asia Cup second semi-final:

Pakistan Shaheens v Sri Lanka 'A'

Sri Lanka 'A' have won the toss and are fielding first
 
Might watch the 2nd semi. Got the day off. Got this iptv stuff shows all the sports channels including desi channels. Only tenner for 6month!
 
Shot of the Day from Faiq of his first ball. But then tried to replicate over his 3rd ball and falls.

Pakistan Shaheens in trouble
 
Naa all the boys bat

One or two good partnerships and we will get there
Need the skipper to guide them through here, he has the most experienced in this team.

Really good on PCB for sending this raw team filled with young players.

Quite sure this happened by fluke :genius
 
What i didn't see with Shaheens is ability to rotate the strike. They all want to hit only big shots, if this misfires you are on the backfoot.

Good one. When these players make it to snr side, not sure what happens, they degrade/ gang up/ score for themselves and seniority culture on top.
