Pathetic from bcci. We kill their people in india be it pehalgam or in a battle, and they still want to play us.
No self respect.
Money will always matter more than an indian life
Indians have no self respectLOL. Correct.
Just a few weeks ago, some of the Indian posters here were chest thumping how India was going to boycott. They have mellowed down now.
Pure comedy.
Asia Cup 2025: Why aren’t India-Pakistan tickets selling out?
Tickets for the much-anticipated India vs Pakistan clash in the Asia Cup 2025 have not sold out fully, despite the rivalry being one of the biggest spectacles in world cricket. The two teams are scheduled to face each other at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, September 14.
This comes as a surprise considering the enormity of the contest. However, the lacklustre ticket demand is being linked to the ‘package system’ introduced by the organisers this year. Unlike previous editions, where fans could purchase tickets exclusively for the India-Pakistan match, this time they are required to buy a bundle covering seven matches.
The organisers had introduced the system to promote other group-stage matches in addition to the marquee India-Pakistan encounter. But the high pricing has seemingly backfired. Fans from India, Pakistan, and abroad expressed disappointment on social media, with many demanding the release of single-match tickets closer to the fixture.
Another major grievance was that the package does not include the Super Fours or the final. “Purchasing the package would have made sense had the knockout matches been a part of it,” one fan pointed out online.
Political Backdrop Adds to the Tension
The match also carries political weight. Earlier this year, following the terror attacks in Pahalgam, a section of Indian fans called for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to withdraw from the tournament. The Indian government, however, clarified that while bilateral cricket with Pakistan remains suspended, India will continue to participate in multi-nation events that feature Pakistan
As per the current schedule, India and Pakistan are placed in Group A alongside Oman and hosts UAE, while Group B features Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Hong Kong. Matches will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

They have zero self respect.Indians have no self respect
Both BCCI and the Government of India are receiving sticks from Indians for this decision.
It won't be called off. All hogwashThis game will be called off before next sunday. I am saying this from past one month but no one listens.
It can't be called off. Everything is already set up and ready.This game will be called off before next sunday. I am saying this from past one month but no one listens.

Bhai, this is international cricket.So was in WCL![]()
How old are you?@Usman Chadda read this regarding ticket sales.
From what I've seen. Axar definitely has issues against express Right arm pace.
They're not boycotting. It's merely a 'takia kalam'.
Funny enough I respect those indians actually boycotting, fighting the goverment tooth and nail and actually residing in India to make it happen then a run away alt harassing troll.Well you may be right about the match eventually not getting cancelled but its not takia kalam. You need to understand, majority of Indians dont want this match to happen. There has been debates in parliament where MPs have demanded this match to be called off. There has been surveys done by reputed agencies and majority had said no to this game. In Indian forums, this match will not be even covered or discussed. Yes some do want to see this match and that is only bcoz Pakistan is ranked 7 side and we want to have some asthetic pleasure in beating them.
Maybe there is some majboori in BCCI for accepting this game which came as a shock for everyone. But remember, BCCI is a private board and does not represent sentiment of all Indians. As far as Indian Govt is concerned, this is easily the worst step they have taken since coming to power in 2014 and can well be political suicide unless there is some bigger game/gain that I am missing.
I already have said the same to some Vikram guy here, that the only reason we still have tickets showing up is because not many want to spend 1000+ AED to watch India vs UAE or Pakistan vs Oman.Old enough to remember few days ago you wouldnt trust and mock me when I said tickets are not getting sold out for this match. Now moderator has posted similar article in post #411.

Is BCCI or Indian Govt.

Surely, you are not part of that majority anymore after creating the following thread. @The Bald EagleYou need to understand, majority of Indians dont want this match to happen.
Happy to inform you that the 3-day match passes for the four General Stands have been sold out, while the Platinum tickets are also sold out.Old enough to remember few days ago you wouldnt trust and mock me when I said tickets are not getting sold out for this match.

Yeah he's deeply invested in the boycott. So generous of @Rajdeep to even purchase tickets to the match to ensure the boycott will happen.
My 3 predictions:
1. India vs Pakistan match on 14th September will go ahead.
2. India will win against Pakistan
3. @Rajdeep will post in the El Clasico match thread.

Thats very much possible, but I hope the boys show some fight. This Indian bowling with Kuldeep and Varun won’t give us a chance.Think Kuldeep and Bumrah will skittle pak out for below 100 also
The tournament has already started and India is playing. Could you give this boycott rant a rest now please?A very notorious thought just crossed my mind. Now that we’ve destroyed UAE and will probably do the same to Oman, we’ll cakewalk into the Super 4 anyway. So why not just #Boycott the Pakistan game and concede 2 points?
In the Super 4, we’ll face another qualifier from our group plus B1 and B2. If we beat B1 and B2 convincingly, we can again #Boycott Pakistan and still comfortably reach the finals.
Then just hope Pakistan don’t make it to the final.
How’s the idea?

It's going to be a very one sided game. On these wickets, there is no way pak part time batters are going to get any runs against this Indian attack.Thats very much possible, but I hope the boys show some fight. This Indian bowling with Kuldeep and Varun won’t give us a chance.
Only good thing is Pakistan is coming off three intense games vs a very good spin bowling attack in their favorite conditions. The bad thing is they didn’t seem to have an answer most of the time.
I have an even better idea. Why not boycott PP and fall into a volcano never to be seen and heard from again?A very notorious thought just crossed my mind.

this thread has already 444 replies before tournament beganLOL... from boycott and desh Bhakti to YEAH YEAH WE WILL SMASH PAKISTAN YEAH
Hypocrisy ki b seema hoti ha
Spinnes when put under pressure will start bowling half trackers wide balls. They will go with 3 seamers.Pakistan ll mostly play both Shaheen and Rauf. I don't think they ll risk going with two spinners.
Hahaha it is this delusion and denial that makes Pak matches so much fun.Today, Bumrah was bowiing in mid 130s with occasional ball at 140 kph. Don't know if he was holding himself back or not but he wasn't getting much swing either. Pandya and Arshdeep are also trundlers. Pakistan will just have to deal with Kuldeep imo.
Heat in UAE is baking up those wickets so spinners will be in play. Pakistan may have to go with Abrar and Sufyan.
This game can be lot closer than many Indians think. Ofcourse, Pakistan's game against Oman will give a better picture of the conditions at Dubai.
Another Indian fighting imaginary online battle to protect the honour of bharat mata.Hahaha it is this delusion and denial that makes Pak matches so much fun.
Cricketing wise it is a no contest but watching the reactions post match is so much fun when their delusions shatter.
These "trundlers"
1. have cause plenty of pain to Pakistan in the past. In fact they have better numbers and more number of good performances against Pak than Shaheen, Rauf etc.
T20I numbers vs each other:
Hardik - 13 @ 12 with ER 7.25
Arshdeep - 7 @ 17.57 with ER 7.85
Bumrah - 5 @ 15.20 with ER 5.42
Shaheen - 4 @ 23.50 with ER 7.83
Rauf - 7 @ 22.14 with ER 8.15
2. they are the current world champions. Bumrah was the MoT. Arshdeep was the highest wicket taker and is the current T20 player of the year.
"will just have to deal with Kuldeep"![]()
People who have Faheem bowling for them should be careful hahahaAnother Indian fighting imaginary online battle to protect the honour of bharat mata.
No need to get triggered. Indian bowlers were bowling at 130s kph yesterday, hence I called them trundlers.
Oh, they are all excited for the El Clasico. Still, @Rajdeep be like:Sanjay Manjrekar at the presentation ceremony asked Suryakumar Yadav:
“A subtle message in this performance to Pakistan for the Sunday game in the way you played and beat UAE?”
Suryakumar replied:
“We all are excited. Everyone wants to play a good game and is really looking forward to it.”

I think Varun bowls a little quicker than Abrar. He gets more bounce as well due to height and high arm action.This.
Genuinely I believe too Kuldeep is the only main threat. Varun's mystery is the same as Abrar. He bowls the same carrom, googly and off spin.
Hardik pandya - Remember the name :ipThis.

As long as batters can read it off the hand. It shouldn't be big problem. The grip for both mystery bowlers is very similarI think Varun bowls a little quicker than Abrar. He gets more bounce as well due to height and high arm action.
Naah. Varun is better.This.

Highest wicket taker in Ind-Pak T20s.Hardik pandya - Remember the name :ip
Abrar played only one game in the UAE in the CT and bowled very well. Indian batters are on record saying they had to play out his spell, so he did have some impact.Naah. Varun is better.
Varun is ranked 4 in the world and was also effective in the CT where Abrar wasn't.
Also the highest wicket taker in Ind-Pak matches Pandya is there.
As well as the T20I GOAT Bumrah.
So there was a PIL filed against this game? LOL.
Why do you have an issue? India is a stronger team? Why not just accept the fact that they'll likely beat PK?So there was a PIL filed against this game? LOL.
I wasn’t even aware — this is big news.
I thought everyone in India was excited for this El Clasico… hahaha.
As I said, 90% of Indians don’t want us to engage or play with Pakistan. It’s only BCCI’s greed that is forcing our players into it. No wonder ticket sales are at an all-time low for this event.
Also, if people are desperate enough to file urgent PILs in the Supreme Court, I still won’t hold my breath that this match will definitely happen. Some other complain and legal stuff may get filed in. There is still time. Surely our players can’t play amidst such scrutiny and against the wishes of their own countrymen. Let’s see.
The fact that India is sitting comfortably at a net run rate of +10 with the Oman game to come means the Pakistan game is a virtual dead rubber.
Is it worth the risk for our players to even play in it?

I just dont want you to be heart broken again on match day for 3rd time in a row.
