India (131/3) secure a convincing 7 wicket victory over Pakistan (127/9) in the high voltage encounter of the Asia Cup 2025

[GoUgandaCranes]

12 overs. Max. Possibly 10.

 

[Thephenom]

Can’t stand watching cricket on Pakistani/Indian channels, constant advertisements not only between overs but sometimes even during a over

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Man this guy is a beast.

Beast tou gaya baby

 

[jnaveen1980]

Anyone who calls Abhishek a hack knows nothing about cricket. He has correct bat swing.

 

[Major]

THEY ARE PLAYING THE ISPR SONG IN THE STADIUM AGAINST INDIA

 

[Justcrazy]

India despite losing wickets have gone hard in early overs , not getting bogged down , this is skill set.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Batting second has always been better in the UAE, Pakistan gave away whatever chances we did have batting first.

 

[pillionrider]

Saim, the killer opening....bowler.

 

[Mesozoic]

Dies by the sword..but has done his job..

 

[sweep_shot]

Saim gets Abhishek also.

41/2.

 

[RexRex]

uh-oh

 

[Asif321]

Only if we got him earlier then things interesting . Still if we get 3 quick . Game changes

 

[Ahmed216]

Clever from Saim. Pulled his length back. I was fearing a 35 ball hundred from Abhishek

 

[Deewana Mastana]

12 overs. Max. Possibly 10.

Had Abhishek stayed then 10 possibly

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

India despite losing wickets have gone hard in early overs , not getting bogged down , this is skill set.

Lol they can't play spin what skill set pak hasn't even introduced abrar sufiyan yet

 

[pillionrider]

There is something wrong with his bat.

The ICC need to inspect.

It has a spring.

 

[Rana]

Damage already done

Only a hattrick now can save Pakistan

This is why you need to persist with these wild openers

He’s practically just set the game aside for his team.

 

[straighttalk]

Avenge? India is losing this too. Pak just took a wicket.. Pak won ... Only wickets matter in cricket... Runs don't.

Now 2 down 2-0

 

[jnaveen1980]

INdia will keep attacking. They bat till 8.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Only if we got him earlier then things interesting . Still if we get 3 quick . Game changes

Stupid thing was to give Shaheen another over

Abrar should've bowled that over

 

[Asif321]

Can someone remind when was the last time pak beat India by defending a total?

CT 2017

 

[Nasty Naz]

Saim Ayub a bowling allrounder at this point lol

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan needed at least 160 to challenge India .

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Chal nikalllll

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Abhishek hasn't debuted in ODI's for India yet. Mind boggling really. Must be around the corner @Nikhil_cric @jnaveen1980

His attacking intent is great for T20 cricket but it's a bit too much for ODI cricket. The likes of Salt and Finn Allen could not fine tune their approach.

If he can bring that attack intent down to around 60% , he'll do well

 

[Asif321]

That Shaheen pitai by Sharma killed it .

 

[Justcrazy]

India needs 86 runs in 96 balls.
Less than run a ball.

 

[Rana]

Abrar and Sufyan need to bowl now and bowl 8 overs straight

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 42/2 (4 overs).

 

[Asif321]

Batting second has always been better in the UAE, Pakistan gave away whatever chances we did have batting first.

Say this to dumb Agha and Hesson

 

[Justcrazy]

His attacking intent is great for T20 cricket but it's a bit too much for ODI cricket. The likes of Salt and Finn Allen could not fine tune their approach.

If he can bring that attack intent down to around 60% , he'll do well

If you play him and give consistent run , he can adapt.

 

[IAJ]

Good for Pakistan to have that bad game out of the way

 

[amvbfm]

Shaheen is so brainless at times. Tight overs from him would have put pressure back on India but he kept searching for glory balls when there is no swing for him.

 

[Asif321]

Shaheen did with bat , Saim did with bowl and messed up their original roles

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abhishek hasn't debuted in ODI's for India yet. Mind boggling really. Must be around the corner @Nikhil_cric @jnaveen1980

More than Abhishek, It is Jaiswal that has not played ODI is the most shocking thing.

 

[Devadwal]

Bulid a partnership now. RR is totally under control. Don't throw wickets on nothing delivery

 

[Usman Chadda]

Shaheen is so brainless at times. Tight overs from him would have put pressure back on India but he kept searching for glory balls when there is no swing for him.

He was searching for wickets, so it’s fine. We are not restricting India here

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

In telecom terms, Pak is currently GSM while India is 5G. The gap is astronomical in terms of cricketing standard.

 

[pillionrider]

What language is the Pak keeper speaking to this new spinner? Is it Pashtun?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Excellent running

 

[Mesozoic]

Lazy running from SKY

 

[Rana]

These umpires ain’t looking to give any lbw to Pakistan like they were for India

 

[Asif321]

Harris is smart keeper but bats like dumb lol

 

[Devadwal]

Ball is holding a bit ,need to careful

 

[Nasty Naz]

Our garbage batters made it look like it was an impossible pitch to bat on. Our top 8 batters literally struggled to even get a single. Fact is our batters just suck.

 

[JaDed]

Pitch has something for spinners and with new ball, pacers have something too.

Very crucial first 5 overs.

Yes, they just now to bowl properly

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

In telecom terms, Pak is currently GSM while India is 5G. The gap is astronomical in terms of cricketing standard.

Talent.
Technique.
Temperament.

The difference is so stark. Pak batters looked clueless against spin, rotating strike, or even just having a mental game.

 

[Major]

Harris is smart keeper but bats like dumb lol

yeh have to give him that he doesnt take reviews blindly haha

 

[daytrader]

What happened to the trigger happy umpire

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 48/2 (5 overs).

80 to win from 90 balls.

 

[Devadwal]

These umpires ain’t looking to give any lbw to Pakistan like they were for India

C*nts

Why didn't Pakistan taken DRS ? DRS kya Achar dalne ke kam aayenge

 

[Asif321]

Nawaz the best spinner in world

 

[Devadwal]

Poor running. Three was easy avilable

 

[Nikhil_cric]

If you play him and give consistent run , he can adapt.

No guarantee of that but he will be given a go after Rohit retires

 

[Asif321]

Nawaz software updated too

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

What language is the Pak keeper speaking to this new spinner? Is it Pashtun?

pashto

 

[Rana]

Kya bowling karwa raha hai?

 

[PakFan2010]

Why are India not respecting the best bowler in the world?

Mike Hesson is a clown.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Yes, they just now to bowl properly

This is not a 127 runs pitch. They needed at least 160 to be competitive here.

 

[Asif321]

Where is the spin now ? It gets easier under lights here

 

[IAJ]

Lol M Nawaz, this is not UAE

 

[Ahmed216]

His attacking intent is great for T20 cricket but it's a bit too much for ODI cricket. The likes of Salt and Finn Allen could not fine tune their approach.

If he can bring that attack intent down to around 60% , he'll do well

More than Abhishek, It is Jaiswal that has not played ODI is the most shocking thing.

This guy Abhishek is a serious player. Uncluttered technique and a fearless attitude.
Those pitches in South Africa ball comes on to the bat. He stands upright and that quick clean swing of the bat he will be devastating and massively increase India's chances in the world cup.

 

[Devadwal]

If you play him and give consistent run , he can adapt.

Jaiswal and Sai are perfect opener for ODI and gill at 3

 

[JaDed]

I remember PCT in non- wc games used to smack Prassad like this -Anwar Afridi Ijaz Inzi, love how times have changed in my lifetime.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

The plus side of this performance is that the cringe squad (naqvi, cm, pm, & field martial sahab) will not post their stupid takes in the tweets.

 

[Rana]

This is called maximising your match up

Left hander taking down the left arm spinner

Trust fakhar to dab and bring the right hander on to deal with him

 

[Asif321]

People who thought Nawaz is some world beater after Afghanistan game . Getting reality check

 

[jnaveen1980]

This guy Abhishek is a serious player. Uncluttered technique and a fearless attitude.
Those pitches in South Africa ball comes on to the bat. He stands upright and that quick clean swing of the bat he will be devastating and massively increase India's chances in the world cup.

With Rohit sharma around INdia is going to miss a lot of young talents playing for India. Don't know what the heck a 40 year old Rohit will be doing in the worl dcup.

 

[Rana]

Proper powerplay batting by India

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They should wrap this up by the 12th most likely

 

[Mesozoic]

Lol M Nawaz, this is not UAE

This is?

 

[ads101]

Can’t believe we chose to bat first lol.

 

[JaDed]

This is not a 127 runs pitch. They needed at least 160 to be competitive here.

Yes.. but got to create some pressure

 

[Devadwal]

Lol M Nawaz, this is not UAE

This is UAE

 

[Asif321]

Another day another humiliation for Pakistan cricket

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

It's also the mentality that's the key difference.

You cannot play like this if you are a mental midget.

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 61/2 (6 overs).

 

[CricVet]

India playing spin far more comfortably - they got this in all likelihood

 

[pillionrider]

pashto

Thanks. haha sorry mixed Pashto with Pashtun.

 

[jnaveen1980]

He needs to retire. I admit he is a great ball striker from Paksitan. Probably the best in the last 10 years. He is old now. Reflexes are not going to help him.
