India (202/5) & (3/0) defeat Sri Lanka (202/5) & (2/2) in a thrilling super over encounter in the last match of Super Four of Asia Cup 2025

So Dubey is not playing the final ?

He will play for sure.

 

[Mockingbird]

First 200 of the tournament. Well done!

 

[Devadwal]

@Usman Chadda first 200+ score in Asia cup by team india

Surprised it came against SL who have a pretty good bowling attack.

I was expecting India to reach 200+ against Oman but Oman bowled well.

Lankans without Hassa have been mediocre this tournament.

India scored over 100 in last 10 after Abhishek got out. So they are not an Abhishek or bust team.

Easier to score 100 in last 10 if/when Abhishek gives them a good start in the first 10. Can they still score 100+ in the last 10 when Abhishek fails and they are around 55-4 in the first 10 with pressure building? That will be the real test. Currently for the first 10, it is Abhishek or bust for India.

Highest totals in T20 Asia Cup

212/2 - IND vs AFG, Dubai, 2022
202/5 - IND vs SL, Dubai, 2025*
193/2 - PAK vs HK, Sharjah, 2022
192/2 - IND vs HK, Dubai, 2022

Thushara did well against Afghanistan. Took 4 wickets.

SL were very good in group stage. They won 3 out of 3.

They completely flopped in Super Four.

Can Pakistan bowling lineup with part timers - Saim, Faheem/Talat bowling in first 10 get India down to 55/4 in 10 is a big if...

Need to find a proper replacement for Axar and find it soon. I know Axar is useful and all, contributed well in last few years but there is something about him that just screams 'Bits and Pieces'. I am sure we could find a young, talented bloke for that role.

 

[TheRock]

There is nothing surprising there. The game vs Oman was a dead rubber. Ind were experimenting too much with the batting order. SKY demoted himself to No.9 (and never came out to bat). Instead he sent the tailender Kuldeep who wasted many balls in the death overs.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Not watching the match but is he still quoting the run rate after every ball?

Run rate? He is even telling us,on occasion, what over of the innings we are watching

Vipraj, Asutosh, Shashank. Jitesh himself is a great finisher.

This is also a dead rubber.

They wont give you Axars overs

 

[Devadwal]

When you have Arshdeep and Rana still bowling furst over with pandya. Lol

 

[TheRock]

This is also a dead rubber.

Indeed. But Ind are taking this game a bit more seriously by treating this as the last practice session for the big final which is only one day away. There is a BIG DIFFERENCE between a dead rubber played in the initial half of the tournament & the one that is played one day prior to the Final.

Not true. Against BD they didn't score 200 after Abhishek got out. That was because India was messing up with batting order. They didn't even send Samson

Kuldeep could bat during his initial years, now completely regressed. Also remember Bumrah smashed Eng to bits and scored 35 in an over? Not sure what happened after that. I personally like to see bowlers who could bat a bit over bits and pieces all-rounders. Finding genuine allrounders is not easy and sustaining them is even harder.

 

[sweep_shot]

SL lost their first wicket.

SL - 7/1 (0.4 over).

INdia has proper stroke players in 7 or 8 batsmen. They are enough to manage 20 overs. Only if you load the side swing from the hips hacks you will need batting till 11.

 

[cricfan432]

Ek over se zyada swing nhi hoga

 

[Devadwal]

Lol rubbish review

Pakistan has proper stroke players too, fakhar saim farhan are not hacks neither is nawaz or faheem. Hasan nawaz id say has weakness against moving ball but he is not hack but some people say otherwise for him but that does not implies to above mentioned players.

 

[sweep_shot]

India burned a review.

 

[rhony]

India scored over 100 in last 10 after Abhishek got out. So they are not an Abhishek or bust team.

They never were. Everybody can bat. Glad Sanju got into form today

Fakhar few years back in ODI was a stroke player. He was never a good stroke player in T20 as he doesn't get time to settle. Hence he hacks. Rest of the guys are mostly hacks. Can't rotate strike, Can't play with soft hands. Consistently high number of dot balls.

 

[sweep_shot]

Indian win is good for BD today. Sri Lankan defeat can ensure BD sign out from Asia Cup as #3.

 

[pillionrider]

So they rested Bumrah only to be taken by fakhar in finals …

I want some of that time traveling stuff you smoking.

 

[sweep_shot]

Batting is easier than bowling.

Even McGrath has a Test fifty.

 

[sweep_shot]

I am surprised Rinku didn't get any game. Not even today.

Maybe the management hate him. LOL. That's the only explanation I can think of.

 

[gazza619]

If the two batters stay for the next 6-7 overs, it could get interesting

Sahibzada farhan has played 60 fc with 45 average, saim is a member of test side, hasan nawaz could be potentially one of greatest strokeplayers against spin. Faheem has 90 against nz in nz in tests. Nawaz is member of test side

SL rarely cross 200. They are a 160-180 team.

But, you never know. This is T20.

Fakhar is a proper hack. Farhan seems a good prospect. Hes got the attitude with skill. Not sure of Saim yet. He hasn't scored many in this tournament

Fakhar scored 210 and 193 in ODI. He also scored a match-winning century in 2017 CT final. Not a hack.

 

[rhony]

Even McGrath has a Test fifty.

In T20s it is. One can score a quick 20 and can be a hero.

 

[sweep_shot]

SL - 30/1 (3 overs).

Good start for SL.

173 to win from 17 overs.

It is easy in all formats. Batting is always easier compared to bowling.

There are many tail-enders with Test centuries and half-centuries.

Only a few can't bat all. Chris Martin, for example.

[rhony]

Didn't say he isn't effective. But the way he plays. I think his best knock was against the Aussies in T20 world cup semis that Pak lost

Different pitches laid out for India matches and pakistan matches. In first india vs pak match even india struggled except abishek who even got out against saim. In second match pitch was better and farhan scored at better SR

 

[jnaveen1980]

You are begging Srilankans now? lol

Dude. Paksitan top 6 strike rate is the 2nd worst in the tournament. ABove HOnkong. Paltry 106. Nawaz and Shaheen saved you guys with their cameosEveryone played on all kind of pitches.

I like Nissanka. Ever since i saw him depositing Starc for a six off the backfoot in Australia become a fan. Solid pull shot player

Even srilanka and bangladesh couldnt score more than 130 against Pakistan, that says alot about pitches

Indian future fast bowling getting destroyed by a midget.

Srilanka has nothing to lose here

 

[cricfan432]

Real test will be against spin

 

[jnaveen1980]

Because they didn't have depth. But when it comes to top order Pakistan top order sucks. SO far lower order is bailing them out. Pakistan captain has a strike rate of 78 in this tournament.

Harshit rana can never been a good player due to the last five letters in his first name, and sir name

Can inda even win on pitches which nullifies their spinners?

He came through backdoor ahead of atleast 10 bowlers. Deserved thrashing.

Another theory? lol INdia won world cup final purely through pace when spinners were attacked.

They could end up losing at this rate.

Harshit should be sent into retirement after this match. Completely useless. Even AKashdeep is better than him in T20's.
