What's the game plan then? Bye in Group plus next round. Then if Ind-Pak qualifies in Final, give Bye to Pakistan who will then be champion automatically but at least ego, and national pride remains intact?

Not the first time teams have boycotted matches. Has happened in ODI world cup too. In 2003 Keny made semi finals because they got a couple free points.

Naah Arshdeep is better than Shaheen.

He won a T20 WC being the highest wicket taker, not get smoked for three straight sixes.

Let Abrar (or for that matter Shaheen) win an ICC trophy first. Varun won one this very year being very effective in the UAE.

Bumrah won the t20 WC for you,average of 8 and less than run a ball.Ashdeep got cheap wickets due to the pressure bumrah applied to the batters however he bowled well.

Naah, Arshdeep took early wickets as well and bowled well at the death.

Like I said, he did what Shaheen couldn't and won the cup.
 
Devadwal said:
Is Shaheen better bowler than Bumrah, Arshdeep ? Absolutely NOT

Is Hasan Nawaz better player than Rinku / Pandya etc ? BIG NO

Is Abrar better spinners than Kuldeep/ Varun ? LMAO

I like how you and a few others act arrogant in pre-match threads, but the moment things get tough for even a couple of overs on match day, you start behaving as if all is lost and India has no chance of winning. :yk :inti

I am fairly confident this game will not happen. 20 days is a long time.

Just look at social media.

Opposition leaders are tearing apart Modi govt in X. Many army personnel's are questioning it as well. These voices will keep on getting louder and louder as I expected and this game will eventually get called off.

Either that or closer to the tournament, Ind & Pak will be placed on separate groups.

That would be unfortunate.

Bumrah went at less than a run a ball he won you the wt20.

In other thread you said exactly apposite about arshdeep, no wonder most of us don't takes delusional Pakistanis poster's view seriously.

Changed the opinion based on different threads. :lol :klopp :kp

Arshdeep is the superior wicket taker in T20 cricket. But Shaheen is more economical.

Arshdeep also bowls in the death hence more expensive. I would wager similar PP economy.

Shaheen's death skills were there for all to see in the 21 semi vs Wade. Contrast with Arshdeep in the 24 final.

Because dominance like this is unheard of and worth highlighting. No one owned an opposition like Kohli did to Pakistan. If anything, it deserves a separate thread all together.

We have many threads already there for such stuff... go there instead of derailing match thread just because of kohli obsession
 
Wasim Akram shared following thoughts regarding the upcoming clash between the arch-rivals:

“Games between India and Pakistan are watched by billions around the world,”

“If Indians are patriotic and want their team to win, the same goes for Pakistani fans. India has been in better form recently and will start as favourites, but the team that handles pressure best on the day will win.”

"Personally, I wanted to see Babar Azam in the team, but since he’s not been selected, it’s up to those in the squad to step up,”

"This Asia Cup will be a feast for fans worldwide. It’s my wish that India and Pakistan also resume playing a Test series. It’s been too long, and it would be a historic spectacle for fans on both sides,”

“Fans must also show discipline,”
 
I have a feeling Pakistan may clinch this one.

It is because Pakistan have great hitters now and Dubai tends to be flat. Hassan Nawaz should like the Dubai pitch.
 
It will be a good game. I don't see Pakistan winning these encounters though... It could be a close one, but I wanna see the fight even if they lose.
 
Chairman PCB, Mohsin Naqvi, speaking to reporters:

About the Pakistan-India match on September 14:

“Our entire team has to work hard, and we all need to stand behind them. For God’s sake, stop the unnecessary criticism. I see how disheartened the players get when people criticize them without reason. If it’s genuine criticism, that’s fine—but wait until the tournament ends. Right now, even after one match, people start attacking them. Stand with them, support them. That’s the biggest support you can give to Pakistan.”

While this is true. He cannot control people's opinions. I heard of a journalist getting banned. The biggest shut up call is with performances.
 
While speaking on Telecom Asia Sport about PAK vs IND Asia Cup 2025 match, Wasim Akram said:

“I am sure these matches will be entertaining, just like all other India-Pakistan matches. But I hope both the players and the fans will remain disciplined and do not cross the line,”

“If Indians are patriotic and want their team to win, the same goes for Pakistani fans,”

“India has been in better form recently and will start as favourites, but the team that handles pressure best on the day will win. This Asia Cup will be a feast for fans worldwide,”

“It’s my wish that India and Pakistan also resume playing a Test series. It’s been too long, and it would be a historic spectacle for fans on both sides, [but] fans must show discipline,”
 
Suryakumar Yadav Ineffective Against Pakistan: Former Batter Claims Ahead Of Asia Cup 2025

India captain Suryakumar Yadav has been a T20 phenomenon, having scored runs at an alarming rate against most opposition in the world. He has played 83 T20Is, and in those, he has slammed 2,598 runs at a strike rate of over 167, with four tons in 21 fifties in the format.

He will lead India in the upcoming Asia Cup, which will be his biggest assignment as skipper. However, former Pakistan batter Bazid Khan points out that the India skipper has not been effective against Pakistan - a trend India will hope comes to an end in the eight-team event.

“Suryakumar scores runs against almost everyone, but somehow, against Pakistan, he hasn’t been effective. Whether it is the pace attack or some other reason, it remains an issue," Bazid said on PTV Sports.

In the five matches against Pakistan, Surya's highest score is 18, and he has managed just 64 runs against them at a strike rate of 118.51.

Bazid also believes India will miss "high-intensity players" like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, along with Ravindra Jadeja, all of whom retired from T20Is after India's T20 World Cup 2024 triumph.

“Look, all these players are high-class. There isn’t anyone here you would say is not of that calibre. But the high intensity that Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma brought to the game – that is something India will surely miss," Bazid said.

“People talk about Virat and Rohit, but Jadeja was someone who really helped the team gel together. Axar Patel is there, but Jadeja gave you balance as a batter, as a bowler, and above all, with his fielding. In world cricket, Jadeja was among the top one or two fielders," he added.

India will begin their Asia Cup 2025 campaign against the UAE on September 10. They will then take on Pakistan on September 14 in Dubai.

It is like going from ferrari to tricycle. From a great 5 test series to Asia cup T20. it is a lose lose situation for India. Everyone is ranked 7 or below. So if India beats them it is expected. No big deal. It India loses to them then it will be embarrassing.

Unless they roll out a turgid pitch where free run scoring is harder and it can bridge the gap between teams massively. India always goes in with a positive mindset. So they can collapse on such pitches.

It will be more embarrassing for other teams not to be able to beat this Indian team.
3 main players retired, newish captain..

Only interesting thing is the pitch. How it will be and how we will fare.As Gill will be the designated statpadder, its really good to see how tilak and sanju( as per reports) in middle order will do against spin.if tilak is found out then it will give jaiswal or reddy a chance later. Aus tour next will definitely gives a most probable team for wc.

ICC T20 rankings for the teams playing are 1,7,8,9,10, 15, 20 and 24.

Of course Ind are feeling they are playing with minnows. At the same time I have always seen hubris come to poor ends so looking forward to that angle.
 
Still a few days left, but the excitement is growing day by day. Really want Pakistan to win for obvious reasons but in reality, India has the upper hand..

This time Pakistan won't have any excuse as they are already in UAE and around 19 days still left for mega clash .

Pakistan will be well prepared while Indian T20 team directly play in Asia Cup after 6 months period ( Last T20I match was on 2nd Feb)

19 days in the UAE to prepare for one team? Meanwhile, India's 'excuse' for not playing a bilateral series was a literal terrorist attack on its soil—weird priorities. Focus on the game, not on fiction. The only thing India is guilty of is taking 6 months to finally give you a match you've been begging for.

We are not making any excuses as we are winning the match . Nind se jag ke bhi hara denge Pakistan kp. :klopp :kp
 
I know it's T20 and anything can happen but I will be surprised if India even looses 1 match in this series. They are too strong compared to the rest of the teams that are participating.

Also, all the oldies that pulled out of Ind V Pak in the oldie series sure doesn't seem to have a problem with this one. One even asked to be put in as a commentator. Why do all these bogus drama when you know you all love money at the end of the day. Hypocrit much ...

India should have pulled out for sure. Its a shame to see them sacrificing principles, fan sentiment and sindoor widows tears for some cricket against low ranked teams.

Will Indian channels even cover this cup?

They pulled out due to public threatening them and their families, and even sponsors pulled out of Pakistan match in old man's league, but blamed it all on Afridi playing.

No Afridi in Asia cup means India can play and not be accused of hypocrisy

They will cover. But "don't care if they don't cover" kind of cup. From venue to opposition everything is dull. India has lost only 3 games in the last 10 years in Asia cups (both T20/ODI) out of 22 games.
