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

[Asif321]

Choke from spin . Pakistan are done here .

 

[Nasty Naz]

3 runs in 2 overs from the spinners. Mashallah this batting group.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Hard to see Pakistan getting a competitive total from here

They need at least 160 to compete.

 

[jnaveen1980]

All said and done UAE should not be hosting T20 matches.

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 45/3 (8 overs).

 

[CricVet]

Pakistan is wasting Fakhar. I maintain; I do NOT like Fakhar against ANY SPINNER. This is exactly why he should open in t20.

 

[Major]

I think you guys are too critical of Farhan. India has done well, and the outfield is very slow. ANyone who tries hitting here is losing hteir wicket.

 

[m.shah]

So much for playing aggressive cricket and run rate is under 6

 

[prash88]

Spin basher Agha in ..

 

[castortroy]

This is so frustrating. I don’t even think India is bowling at their best, we shouldn’t be giving them these wickets.

India could churn out some club bowlers and even they would trouble pak due to the mental fragility

 

[Human786]

OUT

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Who is the best player of spin in this team?

I an guessing Agha, but not sure.

 

[hur rizvi]

Farhan is sort of batsman who is never in

 

[Major]

That is plumb

 

[Mesozoic]

Plumb

 

[castortroy]

My prediction of 80ao incoming

 

[OldWarHorse]

That's ordinary stuff from the skipper

 

[Asif321]

Captain also gone . Bus hogaya ab

 

[Major]

Who is the best player of spin in this team?

I an guessing Agha, but not sure.

Is Agha, but he is out

 

[m.shah]

Plumb

 

[saabir]

4 down ..why playing like sitting ducks

 

[jnaveen1980]

okay guys. I am going to stop refreshing this page lol You guys are two balls ahead.

 

[hur rizvi]

Thats plumb

 

[Human786]

OUT

not

 

[Energy]

Agha has been downright pathetic with the bat. Well below average.

 

[Major]

Missingg, wowww. DRS loving it

 

[Devadwal]

Lucky Agha. Wow

 

[Asif321]

Who is the best player of spin in this team?

I a guessing Agha, but not sure.

Gone

 

[gazza619]

cheating umpires

 

[hur rizvi]

That's lucky for Agha

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Is Agha, but he is out

Bach gaya, too much nervous energy.

 

[Asif321]

Oh wow ahhaha missing

 

[saabir]

Can't they rotate strike by playing normal cricket

 

[Champ_Pal]

Could be umpires call. May be missing leg.

 

[Energy]

Umpires will raise their finger for everything tonight. Even in dark places.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Pakistan should have got the run there.

 

[Asif321]

Why everyone looking crap

 

[pillionrider]

I don't blame Fakhar.

Yeah gotta try and put pressure on bowlers like Axar early on. Pakistan after the early wickets did some good things like hitting Bumrah and getting a few boundaries. But they seemed content with that and were unable to add a few couples and singles to make proceedings look busy.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

cheating umpires

Theek hai bhai, all three reviews still
Left.

Actually both umpire and third umpire looks clueless.

 

[Asad T]

Missingg, wowww. DRS loving it

Keeper was also indicating that it was going down

 

[Major]

Agha seems to be in pressure here.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Not a good shot by Agha. Too risky for just a single.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

With umpires like these both teams should have four reviews

 

[RehanG]

Both umpires are ridiculous.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Aggressive Pakistan going at 5.5 an over while being clueless vs spinners.

 

[CricVet]

Haha for Plumb...even a blind can see missing leg...2nd stupid decision by the same umpire

 

[globetrotter]

Great bowling by Indian spinners

 

[Caved12]

The only way we can beat India is by putting up a decent total, not through flashy modern cricket at high strike rates, but by batting sensibly and building an innings. From there, we’ll have to rely on our bowling attack to do the damage. InshaAllah, if Hasan, Agha, and Nawaz can chip in with the bat and take us to a respectable score, then it’s over to Shaheen and our spinners to finish the job.

 

[hur rizvi]

Run rate 5.3

 

[Human786]

okay guys. I am going to stop refreshing this page lol You guys are two balls ahead.

I have the fasted feed on PP for all games I decide to watch ... 47/3 in 9

 

[Asif321]

That is why chasing was better so you will know exactly how to pace your innings here .

 

[Ahmed216]

This pitch is a batting beauty.
India will chase whatever we score inside 12 overs

 

[gazza619]

Need 150

 

[boomboomcheema]

Umpires completely favoring one team.

 

[Mockingbird]

What inane commentary! ‘Brilliant from Pakistani skipper for reviewing the ball?’ Who the hell is that lady?

 

[Devadwal]

Bangladeshi umpire , Bangladesh people's don't know anything about cricket. Proper minnow in every field

cheating umpires

 

[gazza619]

This pitch is a batting beauty.
India will chase whatever we score inside 12 overs

I beg to differ. It was swinging earlier. It is spinning now.

 

[prash88]

Around 60% dot balls so far....

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan built a "keep going harder" unit for flat pitches. But these are not flat pitches. But they are trying to prove this is what we will do. TO be fair lot of them would be sitting ducks in Test matches. Hence they are unable to adapt.

 

[hur rizvi]

Farhan is clearly not cut out for international cricket

 

[GudduBadmash]

Will be surprised if Saim, Haris, Agha and Nawaz get double figures. IMO that would on its own be a win

Only Hasan Nawaz and Agha left to make this prediction very true

 

[Major]

What the hell is Agha doing.

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 47/3 (9 overs).

 

[Markhor]

Days when PAK middle order batsmen used to bully IND spinners is long, long gone.

Little strike rotation and a wicket never seems far away.

Surface is very sluggish though.

 

[Mesozoic]

Umpires completely favoring one team.

That looked plumb in real time.

Pak fans would have started conspiring about DRS manipulation if the show was on the other foot.

 

[m.shah]

4 runs from last 3 overs

 

[ads101]

I think you guys are too critical of Farhan. India has done well, and the outfield is very slow. ANyone who tries hitting here is losing hteir wicket.

We didn’t play for the pitch. All we needed was a good platform to build on. But we are obsessed with maximising runs in batting powerplay when we struggle to last full overs.

I really think all this complaints over batting powerplay are overhyped. It doesn’t make too much difference as long as you stay in. In reality you can only really go ultra aggressive when you know you have the batting strength in depth to follow.

What is much worse is Babar and Rizwan’s inability to accelerate once set. That was the issue. But we go overboard criticising the wrong issue. We need a platform being set especially as a weak batting line up. Otherwise we’re just constantly just trying to survive a collapse.

 

[GudduBadmash]

Farhan is clearly not cut out for international cricket

He’s doing much better than Saim and Haris managed

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Atleast hit Axar

 

[PakFan2010]

Farhan is clearly not cut out for international cricket

He hit Bumrah for 2 sixes.

 

[castortroy]

Lol why would you bat first

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Trying to understand what Pakistan's goal is here? They've scored like 6 runs off the last 3 overs.

Strike rotation is non-existent

 

[Energy]

35 dot balls in 9.3 overs.

 

[Major]

Farhan is clearly not cut out for international cricket

I dont think Farhan is the issue here, watch Agha

 

[hur rizvi]

Agha 1 off 8

Can't even rotate strike

 

[Azaad]

I beg to differ. It was swinging earlier. It is spinning now.

It is not really spinning to any great extent. The track is just slow which is typical to this ground

 

[Asif321]

What crap is Agha playing can’t even score a single . Horrific

 

[OldWarHorse]

Axar turns into prime Santner in Dubai

 

[Nasty Naz]

4 runs in 3 overs from their spinners since the PP ended... just hilarious.

Maybe they think it's an ODI.

 

[Energy]

All Indian batters will do is rotate strike and coast.
