India (60/1) defeat UAE (57) empathically by 9 wickets in a one-sided encounter in Asia Cup 2025

[Champ_Pal]

Samson to open definitely, Gill at 3 although Jaiswal was better

Jaiswal will play for India soon on T20's too. Right now India has way too many options for each spot.

Even Ishan Kishan is a matchwinner on his day.

 

[Devadwal]

Samson to open definitely, Gill at 3 although Jaiswal was better

No, gill and Abhishek

 

[anakwalajinn]

Where is the crowd? I thought indian fans could easily fill up any stadium in the world as powerful and mahaan the 4th largest economy in the world is

 

[The Bald Eagle]

No, gill and Abhishek

Poor choice

 

[The Bald Eagle]

They are yet to decide on boycott too. Ind vs Pak unsold too

 

[Devadwal]

I think most of not interested in this Asia cup and @Rajdeep was right. This is going to be lowest Asia cup for view and rating.

 

[anakwalajinn]

That makes sense #saynotokirkattwithaatangvaadidesh but UAE is a brother country to bharat though why boycott that game?

 

[sweep_shot]

Hopefully UAE will not be timid like Hong Kong yesterday. I want to see a good game.

 

[Devadwal]

Don't worry you will see close match between Bangladesh and hongkong

 

[sweep_shot]

Hardik Pandya has blonde hair. It looks retarded. LOL.

No brown man should have blonde hair. It looks bad.

Anyway, at least he didn't have pink hair.

 

[Sachin fan]

Jaiswal will play for India soon on T20's too. Right now India has way too many options for each spot.

Even Ishan Kishan is a matchwinner on his day.

Jaiswal was in the t20 team, he was dropped for the mediocre Gill for no reason.

 

[Devadwal]

According to sanju Manju Samson os likely to bat at 3

 

[sweep_shot]

Back to back boundaries.

So far so good for UAE.

10/0 (1 over).

 

[Champ_Pal]

Jaiswal was in the t20 team, he was dropped for the mediocre Gill for no reason.

Gill is massively promoted by BCCI. They are in search of next Kohli who could carry the team across all the formats.

Jaiswal is indeed unlucky to not be in the squad. Iyer is another guy who is very unlucky to not be in the team.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gill should have rested. He loves pace and bounce. Not there sluggish slow tracks.

Jaiswal is indeed unlucky to not be in the squad. Iyer is another guy who is very unlucky to not be in the team.

Gill is going to be used as a brand that makes money for BCCI. Jaiswal or even Iyer not of whom are devastating against spin

 

[sweep_shot]

Indian fielder just injured Waseem. I hope it was not deliberate.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Looks like a patta pitch. 180-200

 

[sweep_shot]

UAE - 16/0 (2 overs).

Great start.

Negotiated Bumrah well.

 

[sweep_shot]

Looks like a patta pitch. 180-200

Yes. Dubai is generally high-scoring.

UAE need 190-200 probably.

 

[Champ_Pal]

I hope UAE scores 150 odd to give India enough runs to chase.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six!

Go, UAE.

25/0 (3 overs).

 

[RidiculousMan]

Great shot by Sharafu

I have observed with Axar his mid off is always back, even in powerplay also. He bowls fuller and straight.

The key to hitting him is going straight down the ground. A perfect example would be the way Iftikhar hit him for 3 sixes in the WT20.

Going across or sweeping him is riskier option.

 

[Devadwal]

I hope UAE scores 150 odd to give India enough runs to chase.

Dont mind anything till 170 . Our bowler's hasn't find any rhythm so far .

 

[sweep_shot]

Every time I observe Bumrah's action, it feels like chucking. Clear bend.

He should be tested in my opinion. But, BCCICC is unlikely to do that.

 

[RidiculousMan]

140kph. Too quick for Sharafu

 

[RidiculousMan]

Every time I observe Bumrah's action, it feels like chucking. Clear bend.

He should be tested in my opinion. But, BCCICC is unlikely to do that.

His action is very similar to Al Amin Hossain.

 

[Champ_Pal]

140kph. Too quick for Sharafu

He was not expecting a yorker. But it is Bumrah. He can bowl one anytime.

 

[Devadwal]

Should have batted first. UAE is not going to score much . I hope somehow they atleast cross 160

 

[cricfan432]

Fast bowlers especially trundlers are getting hit, spinners getting assistance

 

[RidiculousMan]

Varun's carrom ball spins more or the googly?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Fast bowlers especially trundlers are getting hit, spinners getting assistance

Nah. So far it hasn't turned too much. Very little.

We will know for sure when Kuldeep comes to bowl

 

[sweep_shot]

His action is very similar to Al Amin Hossain.

Possible. Anyway, Amin no longer plays.

Anyone who chucks shouldn't be allowed to bowl. Whether he is Bangladeshi, Indian, or North Korean.

 

[sweep_shot]

UAE - 33/2 (5.2 overs).

 

[RidiculousMan]

Bumrah bowling too many slower ones with the new ball

 

[sweep_shot]

Four.

 

[Justcrazy]

41 . 2

6 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

India playing Pandya as main new ball bowler.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bumrah: 3-0-19-1.

Waseem negotiated him well. So, UAE have to deal with 1 more over from Bumrah.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Bumrah: 3-0-19-1.

Waseem negotiated him well. So, UAE have to deal with 1 more over from Bumrah.

UAE already extracted best out of Bumrah Overs. Any team that can score 30 Runs against Bumrah for 1 or 2 wickets is a win

 

[Justcrazy]

UAE likely to get around 130 here.

 

[RidiculousMan]

No power in shot from Chopra

 

[Devadwal]

No power in shot from Chopra

In Sharjah this would have a six

UAE - 47/3 (8.1 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

UAE already extracted best out of Bumrah Overs. Any team that can score 30 Runs against Bumrah for 1 or 2 wickets is a win

Indeed.

It seems like Bumrah's purple patch is over.

England smashed him during last series and UAE batters are also doing well against him.

 

[prash88]

India ll play the same eleven against Pakistan. Batting deep with lot of batters means you play on the mind of the opposition to go after your bowling and try to score big. And if you have 3-4 world class wicket takers with ball, you can wrap up many opposition when they try to go at you... Great strategy.

 

[sweep_shot]

Oh, no.

Waseem is out.

 

[Devadwal]

Lol Waseem khan thought he is playing against Pakistani bowler's so easily can smashed for six

 

[Devadwal]

Oh, no.

Waseem is out.

Kanglu umpire is umpiring in this natch

 

[Vikram1989]

Kuldeep is looking quite dangerous. India will play with this team against the major teams for sure .bumrah may get rest here and there.

 

[sweep_shot]

Another wicket.

UAE - 50/5 (9 overs).

 

[RidiculousMan]

Not much spin on offer. There's no need to play extra spinner for Pakistan if the surface is similar

 

[Devadwal]

Soon crybabies posters will leave this thread

 

[RamLakhan]

Don't even have to play seamers here, just have 4-5 spinners... That too quality/specialist spinners can wreak havoc!

 

[Devadwal]

Don't even have to play seamers here, just have 4-5 spinners... That too quality/specialist spinners can wreak havoc!

This is flat pitch . UAE batsman are not good enough against indian bowlers

 

[cricfan432]

Not much spin on offer. There's no need to play extra spinner for Pakistan if the surface is similar

Indians are not too good against spin as compared to pacers. Atleast spinners will get some assistance

 

[Justcrazy]

India has destroyed UAE here.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Dumb review. That looked plumb.

edit: he edged it

Pakistan better play 3 spinners vs india no way in hell rauf is needed on these uae pitches.

 

[sweep_shot]

UAE - 51/5 (10 overs).

Drinks break.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pakistan better play 3 spinners vs india no way in hell rauf is needed on these uae pitches.

There's not much turn on offer.

These are UAE batters who struggled against Pakistan and Afghan spinners in Tri Series.

 

[Devadwal]

There's not much turn on offer.

These are UAE batters who struggled against Pakistan and Afghan spinners in Tri Series.

Wasn't UAE scored over 170 against Pakistan in tri series

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

There's not much turn on offer.

These are UAE batters who struggled against Pakistan and Afghan spinners in Tri Series.

There will more turn on these pitches then there will be swing or seam

 

[Vikram1989]

I think even pak will be 70 or 80 /5 by 10 overs.varun and Kuldeep combo is quite deadly if opposition wants to up the run rate.

 

[prash88]

Shivam Dube with his cutters ll be more than a useful bowler in 10-16 overs phase in UAE pitches...

 

[sweep_shot]

Asif is out.

51/6.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Man, Wasim Akram has absolutely zero insight these days. He wasn't this has when he first started out.

Just going through the motions.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Even Dube gets a wicket now.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This is turning into a farce. UAE have shown no fight. Should have atleast tried to get 120-130.

 

[Champ_Pal]

UAE might fold for under 70 here. After a decent start they lost the plot completely.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dube is swinging

 

[Devadwal]

I think even pak will be 70 or 80 /5 by 10 overs.varun and Kuldeep combo is quite deadly if opposition wants to up the run rate.

Boundaries size also big so no Fluke six on edges here unlike Sharjah

 

[RidiculousMan]

There will more turn on these pitches then there will be swing or seam

We're assuming here the pitch of Ind v Pak game will be similar as today. Today is patta wicket for the most part. UAE batters are unable to play high pace or pick the delivery out of hand

 

[Champ_Pal]

Man, Wasim Akram has absolutely zero insight these days. He wasn't this has when he first started out.

Just going through the motions.

He is there to collect his paycheck.

Ramiz Raja is much better than him.

 

[Justcrazy]

52 . 6

11 overs

They need to bat through and get some batting practice.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Man, Wasim Akram has absolutely zero insight these days. He wasn't this has when he first started out.

Just going through the motions.

Roshan is an assault on the ears though

 

[prash88]

He is there to collect his paycheck.

Ramiz Raja is much better than him.

No Aamir Sohail for Asia Cup?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Doing commentary for these kind of matches is tough lol Hardly any action
