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

[jnaveen1980]

Masterclass...lol

Who is this commentator?

There are two guys. Bazid kha and Robbie

 

[OldWarHorse]

Muqeeb looks ordinary honestly

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Good thing PAK played 4 spinners. Looking competitive because of that . Naseem and Rauf would've been slaughtered

 

[Sachin fan]

I even saw Mohanty and Kuruwilla bro.. I can’t even recall if we played against them but always felt like we got smacked in non-Icc games.

Prassad’s best game against PCT was 1999.. terrible throughout

Fun fact, Prasad and Kuruvilla have the same test average as Naseem Shah.

 

[JaDed]

lived in Karachi for 14 years.

Lol My partner uses that word that’s how I know it, I never noticed people from Karachi in North America saying Charya but maybe they do it in their home..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Not sindhi but learned sindhi in school. lived in Karachi for 14 years.

Yeh cheez!

 

[Savak]

Might need to convert the Asia Cup to an Afro Asia Australasia Cup to include teams like South Africa, New Zealand, Australia to make the tournament more competitive. Massive gulf in gap between India and the rest of the Asian teams.

 

[Vikram1989]

@jnaveen1980 u have relentlessly wasted ur energy for 2 days to put sense in to some clown by showing 24/25 stats. U should have let reality sink in

 

[Devadwal]

Beautiful batting, six and single

Tell this to @Rana this is proper Batting. No blind slogging on every balls.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Muqeem needs some classes from Kuldeep

Different types. KUldeep is an orthodox chinaman bowler. So far Muqueem bowls mostly short into the pitch hoping batsmen failing to pick him.

 

[JaDed]

Fun fact, Prasad and Kuruvilla have the same test average as Naseem Shah.

lol , well Prasad was a star back then in many circles..

 

[Rana]

Sufyan as usual

Bowling too fast on a length

Floats up the slower balls.

Rubbish. Maybe it’s Faisal Akram who needs to be our 2nd spinner

 

[PakFan2010]

Salman is clueless.

He shouldn't even be in the team.

Nevermind as captain!

 

[Asad T]

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

Muqeem also, terribly average

 

[cricketfan24]

only Indians can save Pakistan now, if they boycott rest of the match

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

He does this in every match. Occasionally connects like Haris Rauf connected against Afghanistan. INdia bowled him full length . He won't get that in next match

Thought he played some good cricketing shots...especially for a tailender

 

[RexRex]

I even saw Mohanty and Kuruwilla bro..

Both of them were a step up from Dodda Ganesh..

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

They failed

They didn’t intentionally look to be eunuchs

Failed my ****! Its because of fans like you that we are in this mess

 

[Devadwal]

@jnaveen1980 u have relentlessly wasted ur energy for 2 days to put sense in to some clown by showing 24/25 stats. U should have let reality sink in

@Usman Chadda this is for you . Are you watching Indian batting ?

 

[JaDed]

Didn’t Lanka win one of the last two editions.. I think Lanka does turn up often in Asia cup

 

[Vikram1989]

Tilak is one player that has issue with strike rotation. This is bad.

His batting against spin is quite awkward. Reddy or jaiswal should be in his place if he keeps on struggling like that.with his bad sr, at the end his sr will be 110 to 120.

 

[jnaveen1980]

@jnaveen1980 u have relentlessly wasted ur energy for 2 days to put sense in to some clown by showing 24/25 stats. U should have let reality sink in

I think they have to detach themselves as the fan of the country momentarily to see the reality. If you view through that nationality lens you will find even find the negatives as positive.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Different types. KUldeep is an orthodox chinaman bowler. So far Muqueem bowls mostly short into the pitch hoping batsmen failing to pick him.

I know that's why I said he could do with some flexibility of learning from him.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

India need Parag in the lineup

 

[Rana]

Failed my ****! Its because of fans like you that we are in this mess

So it’s because of fans like you we lost to USA??

 

[Sachin fan]

Failed my ****! Its because of fans like you that we are in this mess

What mess? Didnt you lose to USA in the T20 world cup with Rizbar and failed to chase 120 against India in the world cup with Rizbar in the team? How is this a bigger mess than that?

 

[big_gamer007]

Mohanty was a brilliant swing bowler, obviously didn’t have that much pace or consistency in non swinging conditions but with new ball in helpful conditions he was so brilliant to watch.

Kuruvilla supposedly was a fast bowler in domestics but got injured, by the time he played was India he bowled slower than Kumble.

Childhood memories are much fun.

@JaDed

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abrar is bowling at the right pace here. 45 to 50. Adil Rashid bowls at that pace. That is why INdians are early against him.

 

[Mesozoic]

Goddamn who is this commentator who is speaking with his nose..so irritating.

 

[OldWarHorse]

only Indians can save Pakistan now, if they boycott rest of the match

Honestly, felt like Pakistani top order expected us to

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Failed my ****! Its because of fans like you that we are in this mess

With Rizwan and Babar, it would have been quite similar if not worse.

 

[JaDed]

We aren’t even trying to play Abrar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Muqeem also, terribly average

Can be said for the entire team

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Afro Asia Cup sounds better. Include teams like South Africa and Zimbabwe.

 

[big_gamer007]

Pakistani fielding this game has been top notch, one thing they can be proud of.

 

[castortroy]

8 wicket loss incoming as predicted last week

 

[Vikram1989]

I think they have to detach themselves as the fan of the country momentarily to see the reality. If you view through that nationality lens you will find even find the negatives as positive.

U tried with lots of patience but he hung on to 21 than recent records/ reality.he was acting more of a troll with insufferable jealousy.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Pakistan team has many problems.

Our best batsmen is unfortunately Shaheen whose primary skillset is bowling and he is bang ordinary at it.

Our best bowler so far is Saim whose primary skill is batting but seems to be hatching eggs every time he comes out to bat.

Our batsmen can't construct innings and our bowlers primary skillset is defensive bowling which doesn't work when the batters don't score.

Losing to India is fine but unless Pakistan realizes that there are gaping holes in team structure and ability the results will continue to be similar.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Thought he played some good cricketing shots...especially for a tailender

ALmost all his sixes in his career are like this. Just extends his arm using his reach. Often struggles once the ball is a touch short. Pandya basically fed him halwas.

 

[JaDed]

Mohanty was a brilliant swing bowler, obviously didn’t have that much pace or consistency in non swinging conditions but with new ball in helpful conditions he was so brilliant to watch.

Kuruvilla supposedly was a fast bowler in domestics but got injured, by the time he played was India he bowled slower than Kumble.

@JaDed

They are, I still remember Rajesh Chauhaan playing such a good cameo in one series lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Afro Asia Cup sounds better. Include teams like South Africa and Zimbabwe.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Good spell by Abrar. Definitely not a threatening spell. But good defensive spell by slowing things down.

 

[Sachin fan]

Pakistani batsmen should have respected Kuldeep like India is doing to Abrar. Pick your battles.

 

[Vikram1989]

India need Parag in the lineup

I wil go with jaiswal for tilak and reddy for dube.parag is better hitter against pace than spin.we need a good spin basher like raina in the middle.

 

[Red-Indian]

Pretty steady, cool, professional performance from India against what to be honest, looks like an amateur team.

Makes for a bit boring viewing but good for the heart I suppose.

 

[JaDed]

Pakistani batsmen should have respected Kuldeep like India is doing to Abrar. Pick your battles.

Yeah.. but hum kissi se darte nahi attitude works against them.

 

[Asif321]

Both batting and bowling humiliated . Add to that dumb tactics by Hesson and Agha to bat first . Now thy should just try to reach finals that will be a big achievement

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistani batsmen should have respected Kuldeep like India is doing to Abrar. Pick your battles.

I don't think Abrar was threatening like Kuldeep. Abrar hardly flighted the ball. Kept a bit short and slightly wider.

 

[zahid01]

Clear gap in class India is s top tier team while pakistan iis low tier team no match at all some fans disillusioned to believe that we can compete with india

 

[big_gamer007]

They are, I still remember Rajesh Chauhaan playing such a good cameo in one series lol

He hit saqlain Mushtaq for a 6 and won us a match, that’s the only memory I have of him haha.

Hrishikesh Kanitkar hit a 4 when India chased down 314 or something against Pakistan in some final IIRC. Another beautiful memory.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Is Ramiz not there?

 

[Devadwal]

We are just doing batting practise otherwise score would have 110+ in 12 overs if we required or batted first.

 

[Mesozoic]

Lmao


That completes the bingo

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Dropped

 

[jnaveen1980]

Almost all Indian players bar Pandya and Dube are 360 degree players.

 

[JaDed]

Hrishikesh Kanitkar hit a 4 when India chased down 314 or something against Pakistan in some final IIRC. Another beautiful memory.

My fav memory in Dhaka.. I swear it’s the only time I prayed to all gods in of all religions lmao.. 1998 best year as a Sachin fan

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Not the pitch to go hammer and throughout like Wanderers, Wankhede, Hyderabad.

werent u the one that wanted Babar and Rizwan dropped

 

[jnaveen1980]

Tilak instead of tuk tuking should go bang bang.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

My fav memory in Dhaka.. I swear it’s the only time I prayed to all gods in of all religions lmao.. 1998 best year as a Sachin fan

Earliest proper memory in cricket.

 

[PakFan2010]

Babar and Rizwan need to be brought back.

2 batsmen who average 40 are priceless in T20.

 

[Devadwal]

Look out to me

 

[castortroy]

Like I said, India won't lose a game in this tournament

 

[Deewana Mastana]

You ain't getting it lbw

Waste of a review

 

[jnaveen1980]

NOt sure what lesson pakistan can take home. Can they suddenly become great strike rotators?

 

[kant]

This umpire has been terrible.

 

[RexRex]

SKY is a fraud.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Like I said, India won't lose a game in this tournament

India v Afghanistan final?

 

[Devadwal]

Look out to me

Wow missing off stump

 

[Rana]

This umpire becomes proper when India is batting but is a Sunday league umpire when Pakistan is batting lol

 

[Savak]

No quick fixes. What India enjoys today is because of a robust domestic structure, IPL, competition for all spots in the team and quality coaching from foreign legends and Indian legends in their domestic cricket, IPL and academies.

Pakistan even with best intentions does not have the economy to match this, to make matters we don't even do the controllables well, player power dominates where ordinary senior players get a long rope and young players, domestic replacements are discarded after only a few chances in comparison, end result is there no bench strength and the same tried tested recycle players continue to dominate the national team for a good decade. You cannot develop a competitive team like this.

 

[JaDed]

Earliest proper memory in cricket.

I was in 4th grade and my parents were away watched the entire game lol ..

Sachin smacking azhar mehmood or aquib for continuous fours..

 

[Rana]

Babar and Rizwan need to be brought back.

2 batsmen who average 40 are priceless in T20.

Yeah no thanks.

 

[Major]

Saim Ayub keeps getting wickets man lol

 

[Devadwal]

Saim the destroyer but with the ball

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Might need to convert the Asia Cup to an Afro Asia Australasia Cup to include teams like South Africa, New Zealand, Australia to make the tournament more competitive. Massive gulf in gap between India and the rest of the Asian teams.

I was thinking they should have India vs. Rest of Asia but even that would be a mismatch the way things are right now.

 

[Sachin fan]

This umpire becomes proper when India is batting but is a Sunday league umpire when Pakistan is batting lol

With DRS in place, did it make any difference really?

 

[JaDed]

Babar and Rizwan need to be brought back.

2 batsmen who average 40 are priceless in T20.

lol They are not..

 

[Mesozoic]

Lol this guy looks like a serious bowler.

 

[Major]

Shaheen scoring 30 from 15, Saim Ayub getting 3 wickets. Man this Pakistan team is a joke
