India (168/6) defeat Bangladesh (127) by 41 runs to advance to the final of Asia Cup 2025

[sweep_shot]

Four.

BD need to restrict them to 170.

 

[Ali Active]

can india reach 170?

 

[Local.Dada]

I guess shaheen and rauf can tuck him up but they need to stick to that line that ball pitches on good length and tucks him up only weakness i have noticed of him otherwise solid solid player

Shaheen has the skill and length but no pace. Perfect angle for Abhishek. That’s why he treats him like a halwa bowler (Shaheen is good. Saying it from Abhishek’s perspective) 130-140 won’t cut it.

Rauf has the pace but he doesn’t have the accuracy or consistency and bowls the right length and pace for Indian batters mostly. Yes if he gets it right at his pace he can trouble Abhishek but that can be applicable to any batsmen even Sachin and Richards.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

155/5

 

[Usman Chadda]

What a terrible over from Tanzim here

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

180-190 should be a target but difficult to see then get there. 170 more like

 

[Rajdeep]

155/5

Aise Kaise jeetenge Asia cup paijaan?

 

[Imran Hasan]

Hardik will smash Rishad in this over

 

[Ali Active]

Can bangla bros pull this off pitch gets better chasing?

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 155/5 (18 overs).

 

[Imran Hasan]

Oh my bad Fizz came to bowl.

 

[PakPremi]

That stupid keeper dropped Abhishek Sharma when he was on like 10.

Non regular keeper. Paksitan have to watch out with Haris behind the stumps as such misses can cost you the match.

 

[Savak]

Will be interested to see how invincible the Indian batting line up is if Abhishek actually gets out early in the first over eventually. He is due a failure at some point

 

[Rajdeep]

Why Samson didnt bat today?

Gambhir dont like him at all

 

[jnaveen1980]

Tanzim vs Pandya in T20I

23 balls 51 runs. He is scared of bowling to Pandya

 

[jnaveen1980]

Will be interested to see how invincible the Indian batting line up is if Abhishek actually gets out early in the first over eventually. He is due a failure at some point

They are out of form. But don't think India will just fold. India was 20/3 or something in WT20 final. Axar and Dube stepped up

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

163/5

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Anyway it’s enough. BD had a chance restricting us to 150. No it’s uphill.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gambhir has completely made sure everyone is low on confidence by messing up too much with batting order.

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 164/5 (19 overs).

 

[saabir]

This total is out of reach of BD.. tomorrow Pak BD going to be literally Semi final

 

[Local.Dada]

Indian team gets to 170-180 on 9/10 pitches in cruise control mode. That’s a great quality to have.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is Pakistan level decision to bat your attacking middle order batsman lower than the bowling all rounder.

He made 3 centuries as opener last year. Gill was not even in discussion at that time. Suddenly he came back and took his spot

 

[pillionrider]

Imagine being Gavaskar and Shastri but too timid to utter a word about this jugglery by Gambhir

 

[Champ_Pal]

Axar Patel should not have come a head of Samson.

Samson has better hitting ability. Poor choice.

 

[Ali Active]

Patel bottling

 

[pillionrider]

Axar 9 (13) - 4D chess move

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Good bowling there

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Axar Patel Agha

 

[PakPremi]

Pathetic inning by Axar

 

[saabir]

Imagine being Gavaskar and Shastri but too timid to utter a word about this jugglery by Gambhir

They cant they have to save their job .. they can't speak against ex BJP MP

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think India is scratchy. SKY is the main culprit. He is supposed to score quickly in the middle phase. Failing all season

 

[Champ_Pal]

Axar you dufus.

Playing dotballs in 20th over. He made sure India does not cross 170.

 

[Ahmed216]

Extremely proud of my Bangladesh bros. Keep it up

 

[prash88]

168. 2 runs below par. India should defend this with the bowling lineup they have.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Toy Tiger can try to win this match.

 

[PakPremi]

Axar Patel Agha

Reminds me of Imad Wasim inning.

 

[JaDed]

best chance for BD to beat us, absolutely terrible performance

 

[Usman Chadda]

Man this Axar is such a garbage batsman. I thought Nawaz’s innings on Sunday was bad, this is outright pathetic.

India couldn’t even make as much as Pakistan against a second string Bangladesh bowling attack

 

[sweep_shot]

India finish at 168/6 after 20 overs.

BD need 169 to win.

 

[AZulfi]

Excellent comeback by Bangladesh

Did very well to restrict India to 168 after a blistering start.

Now up to the batters. I think they would have taken it at the start of the innings.

 

[PakPremi]

Poor batting after such a brilliant start.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Samson didn't even bat.. wow.. Hope BD wins and knock some sense into Gambhir

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

And now the cussing and morning van commence lol.

Well bowled by BD.

 

[globetrotter]

I think India is scratchy. SKY is the main culprit. He is supposed to score quickly in the middle phase. Failing all season

Change in batting order is mess, they wasted sanju

 

[Champ_Pal]

Very poor finish.

180 was easy on this pitch. They ended up a subpar 168.

 

[ataullah]

Pathetic inning by Axar

Nawaz is better than him. Without abhishek india is Pakistan level

 

[JaDed]

Man this Axar is such a garbage batsman. I thought Nawaz’s innings on Sunday was bad, this is outright pathetic.

India couldn’t even make as much as Pakistan against a second string Bangladesh bowling attack

Axar has player better innings in Wc , this was terrible yes, like Yuvi-Dhoni in 2014 final T20

 

[pillionrider]

Hahaha Gavaskar resorting to praising Bangladesh to avoid having to criticize a mentally challenged clown coaching the Indian team. These kind of idiot moves have been consistent across different captains so there's no doubt who is behind them.

lol Gavaskar right at the end managed to sneak in a timid - these little changes in the batting order can .....( something who cares)

 

[RidiculousMan]

Can we see an upset tonight?

 

[ataullah]

Very poor finish.

180 was easy on this pitch. They ended up a subpar 168.

They need a nawaz instead of axar

 

[Devadwal]

Brainless batting from openers. Sky and Hardik are too arrogant.

 

[gazza619]

Proud of my beloved Bangladeshi brothers. Way to go!!!

 

[JaDed]

Nawaz is better than him. Without abhishek india is Pakistan level

Axar contributed heavily to India’s T20 WC win , he was terrible today.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Man this Axar is such a garbage batsman. I thought Nawaz’s innings on Sunday was bad, this is outright pathetic.

India couldn’t even make as much as Pakistan against a second string Bangladesh bowling attack

He played well when it mattered. Who cares about these matches.

 

[saabir]

This inning remind me of Pakistan inning against India..great first 10 overs then they slow down and the final total is almost similar

 

[ataullah]

Axar contributed heavily to India’s T20 WC win , he was terrible today.

Let's see if he redeems himself

 

[pillionrider]

They cant they have to save their job .. they can't speak against ex BJP MP

Shameless. They have enough money and achievements in cricket. Why be so greedy and pathetic.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Without Abhishek, India could've been in more trouble.

Also, BD have rested 4 of their main players. This is not the main XI. They have done well with this depleted bowling attack.

So far in this Asia Cup. India's Batting has been Abhishek or nothing

 

[jnaveen1980]

India failed to chase 111 against zimbabwe with abhishek. lol I am sure pak fans would say.. India = Pakistan because of that.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Terrific fielding and spirit show by BD, good fightback after the start we've had. I thought the captain jakker was spot on with fielding and also was generally communicating well with the bowlers , managing the show well.
Rejigging the batting order defo did not help.

I feel 70/30 to bangla at this stage.....
Hoping our guys show some fire and intensity and make them fight for each run

 

[Hellion]

We can't have Bumrah bowling crap today.

 

[Local.Dada]

Imagine being Gavaskar and Shastri but too timid to utter a word about this jugglery by Gambhir

Gambhir kind of called Gavaskar a gutka- chaap once indirectly. They don’t want a verbal battle with him lol and get abused . Shastri is a no-conflict chill party guy anyways like Waz from Pakistan. They don’t get into uneccaary conflicts.

 

[Josh]

Pathetic batting in the last 10 but Bangladesh bowled and fielded superbly. They do have a chance at this if pitch eases a bit ..else it will be tough

Gambhir and Surya need to respect the game and not mess with batting order

 

[pillionrider]

Anyway one good thing this BJP era has done is exposed all the greedy cowards in cricket, news and Bollywood

 

[jnaveen1980]

WHen India made 297 against Bangladesh Sanju made 100. Smashed Rizad all over. Today didn't even play

 

[sweep_shot]

India only scored 96 in the last 14 overs.

 

[IAJ]

Teams should have proper plan against Abhishek. You get him early, anything can happen.

 

[Imran Hasan]

Lankan brothers will be supporting us. Can BD repay their favor?

 

[Local.Dada]

Can’t take SL lightly, need to get the job done here otherwise how will I Boycott on Sunday

 

[prash88]

We can't have Bumrah bowling crap today.

That ll determine who wins this game. Still 70 - 30 India...

 

[pillionrider]

Gambhir kind of called Gavaskar a gutka- chaap once indirectly. They don’t want a verbal battle with him lol and get abused . Shastri is a no-conflict chill party guy anyways like Waz from Pakistan. They don’t get into uneccaary conflicts.

Why should someone like Gavaskar feel the need to retain his job. It really shouldn't matter. Unless he's addicted to being seen.

 

[AZulfi]

Bangladesh were brilliant in the field today, apart from a dropped catch (Abhishek)

 

[globetrotter]

If Bangladesh beats India today, then it's a wake up call for India before final

 

[Rana]

168

Surely Bangladesh can chase this?

 

[pillionrider]

Gavaskar has so much energy and guts to take on players like Pant calling his shot "stupid, stupid" but can't summon the courage to take on another ex-player.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Teams should have proper plan against Abhishek. You get him early, anything can happen.

Bowl him straighter line. Don't let him free his arms. His strength is in the free bat swing. If you bowl him there. You'll see him move. Trying to make room.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

India still winning this, but BD has impressed.

And of course Gambhir’s experiments suck

 

[Local.Dada]

That ll determine who wins this game. Still 70 - 30 India...

On these pitches can’t expect Fast bowlers to do a lot. Maybe top order wickets. If Bangladesh plays smartly they have a shot. I feel they will play Varun and Kuldeep better than Pak batters.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Excellent bowling from Bangladesh in the last 10. Really restricted India and Abhishek continues to be the biggest difference for India.

Pakistan will have to play well tomorrow to beat Bangladesh.
