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

[hur rizvi]

Aamir Sohail in Pakistan TV said Axar Patel is the easiest bowler for Pakistan to target. World has moved on but these 90s players are deluded .....

He is right though another thing that Pakistan players lack the skillet

 

[Human786]

can they get 75 in last 10 ? 49/4

surprised Sharma getting a bowl ..

 

[Major]

Come on Thind, do your thing

 

[jnaveen1980]

The only people who are disappointed are those who thought Pakistan actually had a chance

I am disappointed because this pitch is crap. UAE should never ever host T20 matches. People come here to watch balls flying around

 

[heddie19]

@Rana @mominsaigol Any thoughts on Saim's new affair with ducks and Sahibzada and Salman's SR? Liking the approach?

 

[followed]

Lol Pakistani batsmen have zero ability against spinners. They are so bad.

 

[castortroy]

The only people who are disappointed are those who thought Pakistan actually had a chance

Same fans that get gassed up before every India and pak clash.

These games are so predictable

 

[JaDed]

It’s so sad that Chahal is so much more famous than Axar due to Chahaal’s shenanigans, my partner didn’t even know who Axar was but knew everything about Chahaal due to social media

 

[Major]

I like this test match.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abhishek is a certified part timer

 

[Asif321]

We need Hassan back as opener . Throw Saim for some games

 

[Human786]

r/r 4.91 after 11

 

[jnaveen1980]

It’s so sad that Chahal is so much more famous than Axar due yo Chahaal’s shenanigans

Bishnoi would be very uncomfortable to face on this pitch. He is still in top 10 ranking miraculously.

 

[castortroy]

India will chase the total down within 12 overs

 

[boomboomcheema]

India now trying part-timers against minnows, treating this like a Charity Match.

 

[Mamoon]

Oh let it rest.

Babar and Riz would have been back in the pavilion in the first 4 overs.

Stop trying to showboat them as ATGs of the game.

That is fine, but a group of 0 IQ clowns told me that Pakistan has adopted a new batting template now. Where is that template?

 

[Human786]

6

 

[Ahmed216]

Abhishek being given bowling practice against our modern day monster Sahibzada Farhan

 

[hur rizvi]

Farhan is Ahmed shehzad. Great shots straight to feilders

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

If Abhishek bowls second over, he will be banged.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

LMAO, i left when 6 overs were done and they had something like 42. Came back, 4 overs and 8 runs and lost 2 more wickets. What a team

 

[ads101]

I think fans get confused with intent and ability. Apart from Hasan Nawaz i don't think anyone else is good for modern day T20. That too because he has long levers where his hack may work. Even then he is no Tim David

You need some inherent talent for t20. To be able to naturally hit when new to the crease. Pakistan don’t have many of them. And the ones we had got ruined for fitness and fixing reasons.

Thats why I think it’s almost pointless to moan over some of our cricketers not being able to play fast. If they don’t have that natural talent/ability how can you expect them to suddenly do so. I’m more annoyed about the cricketers that do like Sharjeel, Umar etc. who have that ability but have wasted it due to fitness, fixing, not working on their game hard enough etc.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Farhan is not even hitting full tosses lol

 

[Devadwal]

Farhan 3rd six . @Rana ab to aja

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 54/4 (11 overs).

 

[Major]

Farhan launches that for Six.

 

[Justcrazy]

S I X

Tulla hit by Farhan

 

[Energy]

The way Haris is clapping aggressively from the dug out is making me want to punch his testscles.

 

[RexRex]

Farhan is clutch.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pak needs to take Abhishek for at least 10-12 rpo. His overs should not be wasted.

So far 5 singles. Not good enough.

Meanwhile run rate is under 5.

 

[Mesozoic]

Time to go for the kill with Kuldeep

 

[OldWarHorse]

This is the strangest innings I've watched. 3 sixes and still striking under a 100

 

[Sachin fan]

Perhaps not the best idea to bat first.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Farhan is clutch.

For India

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Farhan.

Great shot.

The strong hitting base against various lengths is necessary. When we talk about Buttler, Salt fans counter saying can he play like this in UAE

 

[CricVet]

Too much blood flowing here from Pakistanis' wrist cut

 

[Devadwal]

Time to go for the kill with Kuldeep

They are saving for him to bowl in death overs as Bumrah only has one over left

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Axar has been fantastic

 

[Major]

Rohit like captaincy here by Susriya. Keeping his trump card hidden as pakistan is just batting slow.

 

[Mamoon]

Hassan Nawaz needs to stick his bum out a bit more. Maybe then he will connect a few.

 

[Human786]

62/4 after 12

 

[hur rizvi]

Samson is lazy for a keeper

 

[Ahmed216]

That is fine, but a group of 0 IQ clowns told me that Pakistan has adopted a new batting template now. Where is that template?

Who are you trying to convince? You are wasting your time and energy on the clown gang

 

[Asad T]

wooo, our rr is about 5 again

 

[Mamoon]

Farhan is clutch.

Yes, the clutch that is found in a Suzuki Maruti.

 

[big_gamer007]

Abhishek Sharma bowls with a weird action, looks like he’s throwing but that too throwing from behind his back which is actually worse than bowling with a normal action.

 

[JaDed]

Bishnoi would be very uncomfortable to face on this pitch. He is still in top 10 ranking miraculously.

Personally I like him a lot but maybe we too have a senior culture that is not criticised

 

[RexRex]

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Hassan Nawaz needs to stick his bum out a bit more. Maybe then he will connect a few.

Good one.

 

[Mamoon]

Babar was dropped because he doesn’t play modern T20 cricket, only for his replacement to bat at a SR of 95-100

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I am disappointed because this pitch is crap. UAE should never ever host T20 matches. People come here to watch balls flying around

True. I think it's worse than the type of pitches you usually get there. And the outfield is absolutely atrocious.

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 62/4 (12 overs).

 

[m.shah]

Pakistan looks to score 100 here

 

[hur rizvi]

Hassan Nawaz needs to stick his bum out a bit more. Maybe then he will connect a few.

Ijaz Ahmed school of batting stances

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abhishek Sharma bowls with a weird action, looks like he’s throwing but that too throwing from behind his back which is actually worse than bowling with a normal action.

He has this carrom ball thing trying to learn. He used to be a classica orthodox left arm spinner. Once he focused on batting he gave up on his bowling.

 

[Champ_Pal]

At this rate, Pak will not score more than 120.

 

[Devadwal]

Dropped. Damn

 

[Major]

Wat the hell is Hasan Nawaz doing there?

 

[hur rizvi]

Nawaz no clue about Kuldeep

 

[Human786]

OUT

 

[ads101]

Farhan is set. Hasan I think is better than our other batsmen. Hopefully these two can make a score out of this. Not totally lost yet.

 

[globetrotter]

Oh dropped.. but wicket is coming

 

[Mesozoic]

Lol

Out twice in two balls

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Nawaz gone too

 

[castortroy]

80 ao could still happen

 

[gazza619]

Embarrassing

 

[ads101]

Farhan is set. Hasan I think is better than our other batsmen. Hopefully these two can make a score out of this. Not totally lost yet.

Damn think it’s over now.

 

[hur rizvi]

Expected

 

[Major]

so, we are losing this match lol.

 

[chinaman00]

Doubt they will post even 100 runs.

 

[globetrotter]

Pak 64/5 ... can India give follow on ?

 

[m.shah]

Inzimam clone gone

 

[sweep_shot]

Dropped.

Tough chance.

 

[Devadwal]

Overhyped Tullebaaz hasan gone

@Rana your 5th tullebaaz gone

 

[GudduBadmash]

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

BINGOO

 

[Human786]

OUT

can they get 120 ?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

At this rate, Pak will not score more than 120.

Even 100 looks impossible now. India will chase it down in 12 overs.

 

[sweep_shot]

H Nawaz departs.

64/5.

 

[Champ_Pal]

This Hasan Nawaz is a blind slogger.
