India (174/4) secure a 6-wicket victory over Pakistan (171/5) in the Super Four clash of the Asia Cup 2025

[Nephrologist]

Beating Pakistan twice in a row is like Spike Dudley making Brock lesner tap out. Not gonna happen.

The green storm is coming, I fear. Indians better hide

Have a feeling that the boys will absolutely smash India this time

Wake up from your dream. It's a beautiful afternoon now.

 

[Hellion]

Have a feeling that the boys will absolutely smash India this time

Yeah. The PAK players were even shouting "6-0, 6-0" in practice. They're going to come very hard at India.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Pakistan will have to play out of their skins to win this.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Pak needs to win for furqaan bhatti

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Yet Another thrashing awaiting for Pakistan team in the hand of team india.

@mominsaigol Is this a prediction too? Are you playing 'buddy buddy' with this guy also?

 

[mominsaigol]

@mominsaigol Is this a prediction too? Are you playing 'buddy buddy' with this guy also?

Naw not him.

 

[gazza619]

Batting looks paper thin.

Other than Fakhar there are no real batting threat.

There are no real batter in the squad reserves unfortunately. I am backing the bowlers.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Naw not him.

They are all the same hiding behind different personalities.

 

[followed]

For once I would like Pakistan to shut all these indian evil loser players and fans.

They are so insufferable and so annoying. Worst fans and players in the world.

They all are same players, ex-players fans.
They have evil in their veins.
They need to be reminded of 152-0 again.

Bring them down to their knees.
Let's go
Allahu akbar..

I dont know how to fit agha and haris there in top 5.
Haris cant play below 3 and agha doesnt deserve to be in team but we cant drop these two

Maybe put fakhar at 6 and open with haris.
Agha should not bat unless its necessity. He has been sucking life out of the innings recently

Haris can bat down the order at 6/7 because his main role is wicket keeping. He doesn’t need to perform that great there and someone needs to bat there. It’s a bigger issue if he doesn’t perform at 3 than 6 or 7.

Agha feels impossible to play unless you play him 4 or 5. And even then as you said it depends. That’s why it’s so hard fitting him into the line up.

We can afford Haris not to be great with the bat as at least he has a role. Not with Agha who really is just a batsman these days. Captaincy isn’t enough to be a passenger.

Especially when the other experienced guy in fakhar has done well lately. I’m ready to give the new guys time regardless. But Agha needs to step up, he shouldn’t be struggling like these other guys he’s an experienced player now, let alone performing worse than them.

 

[mominsaigol]

They are all the same hiding behind different personalities.

We'll see when that time comes

No point in talking to them.

 

[ads101]

Winning the toss is a huge factor as other countries have shown. If we win it we have a decent chance to win. I’m sure if we batted second it would have been a much closer game. It was a really bad call.

 

[BouncerGuy]

PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC AND TALK ABOUT THE MATCH ONLY...

NO PERSONAL STUFF

 

[TexasRattlesnake]

2nd coming of inzy aka Hasan Nawaz likely to be dropped for today game.

only 150 sr guy from their team

Naw not him.

You already surrendered infront of me like your Pakistan team

Pakistan need to remind India of their aukat. Winning 3 games out of 14 is no mean achievement.

Even if they lose Pak should remind India of 152-0 as there is nothing else celebrate of.

a tournament which australia won after hitting shaheen for three sixes?

and post which pakistan have a 1-7 record against india and didn't really win any tournament while india won 3 tournaments?

 

[PakPremi]

The batting order will be unchanged, Hasan Nawaz is being replaced by Hussain Talat and Faheem returns for Khushdil. Personally I would had tried Haris as opener if he clicked would had provided good 2 or 3 overs momentum, if he failed no big deal as he was not likely to contribut much in any position, and then you still have enough batsmen to follow him.

 

[chakdeindian]

india have won six in a row now.

and beat 2 in a row in the 18 asia cup.

So..this is the real 6-0..

 

[PakPremi]

a tournament which australia won after hitting shaheen for three sixes?

and post which pakistan have a 1-7 record against india and didn't really win any tournament while india won 3 tournaments?

Even Bumrah gets hit for 6s , no big deal. Shaheen is no superman. India are superior team to Pakistan due to their efficient cricket structure and financal resources, so them beating Pakistan consistently is no big deal.

 

[ads101]

And if we lose the toss

We still deal with it.

I respect Hesson+Agha trying to take the toss out of the equation.

Don’t get what you mean. So we should lose the toss on purpose? Or deliberately make the wrong choice?

At the end of the day they made the wrong decision. I’m sure they regret it. And if they win the toss I don’t think they’re making that error again. Of course if you lose the toss you still aim to win and make the best of a bad situation. But you don’t intentionally give yourself a tactical advantage.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

[Rana]

Don’t get what you mean. So we should lose the toss on purpose? Or deliberately make the wrong choice?

I’m saying you take the toss out of the equation and be prepared for any eventuality

Pakistan if they get to the final should bat first in the final

We prepare our strategy for that day.

Babar because of his classical cover drives. Next question.

Farhan has to stay in the opening slot. Poor Fakhar has to keep shuffling in that line up.

For me the key will be how Pakistan tackles Kuldeep’s 4 overs.

Agha needs to sit out of this game as he has been mediocre always in t20Is

Extremely disappointed with how Agha is playing spinners after such a great start in the tri-series against a decent Afghan bowling attack.

He is so engrossed in playing faster, that he actually ends up doing absolutely nothing.

He is a much better player of spin than he has shown so far in this tournament.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Top 4 should be
Farhan
Saim
Haris
Fakhar

I also agree. I would keep this top order. With Hasan Nawaz coming in at no. 5.

If the management thinks. Swap. Haris with Saim. Just because Saim has been getting out on ducks.

Hassan Nawaz apparently is getting dropped for Hussain Talat.

They are panicking for certain, I know Nawaz hasn’t scored much but he does provide that much needed firepower.

Banking on M.Nawaz, Faheem and Shaheen to get you quick runs at the death might not be such a great idea.

 

[jamie smith fan]

If I had to drop someone i would be agha. not hassan tulla

 

[jamie smith fan]

If I was the coach I would open with SSA just to get a few quick runs and put pressure on timid indians.
In the worst case he will be out first ball.

 

[mominsaigol]

When did he perform??

Bangladesh, SA, Oman all at no 3

 

[ads101]

I’d like Agha at 3, Hasan 4 and fakhar at 5. I think Fakhar would benefit coming lower down anyway. If not Hasan and Fakhar just switch positions. And Agha can get away playing is natural slower game at 3. While Hasan gets his best position.

I think Agha’s lower strike rate and worse boundary hitting skills is a bigger factor than his preference of spin over pace. So he’s better up the order.

If this isn’t possible, there might be a case to give Hasan the no.3 position. It’s better than him playing low.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Bangladesh, SA, Oman all at no 3

Do u view ban and oman as prime australia??

I would shove Agha at 8 if not at 3. He has been useless this Asia Cup in his approach.

Also hearing the news that Hasan Nawaz will be dropped for Hussain Talat? Will be a shocking decision for me if that happens.

 

[jamie smith fan]

A finished Shanaka also got 65 odd against them yesterday.
I am not saying they are weak but scoring against them isnt a big achievement

His stats showcase a 29 avg and 145sr at no 3 compared to every other number(No 1, 2, 4, 5, 6,7,8) where he doesn’t even cross into the double digits.

Its the best no to utilise him in. Their are no other keepers in the squad. You gotta play your best available candidates at their best positions.
