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

[Asif321]

Agha is slowly going downhill

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 83/6 (16 overs).

 

[Human786]

83/7

 

[Vikram1989]

Don't know and don't understand. Their strike rotation ability is non-existent. And this is an issue across the board. Old and new players

I guess psl bowling standard is quite low and all these hacks may get away by few blows every over.it does not work in international level.hope hesson will correct it.wi used to do same stuff in 2016.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Farhan bhi gaya

100 all out loading again....

 

[Nikhil_cric]

UAE is not a good venue for t20s.

We see more boundaries in test cricket than this.

I thought this pitch was different but it looks like another pitch which might unduly favour the chasing side.

 

[Mamoon]

Agha is slowly going downhill

Called it weeks ago. Only a matter of time before his drama ends and the same people who adore him today end up abusing him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Looking at the matches so far i see a lot of low score affair.

 

[prash88]

Embarrassing innings from Sahibzada that despite scoring 40

 

[Asif321]

Stupid shot from Farhan . This is last pair and still 4 overs to go . Why hit .

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Who's missing Riz-Bar

I am missing @Rajdeep here.

 

[heddie19]

Busy travelling.

Travelling back to reality soon.

 

[sweep_shot]

Farhan is out.

83/7.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Inexperience showing. Farhan should’ve stayed till end. Faheem should’ve been the one attacking.

 

[Mesozoic]

This guy hit 4 sixes and has still SR of 90.

 

[gazza619]

Pakistan issue is lack of proper execution of plans , and that is related to the skill set.

Plan should align to skill set. The problem is with the plan.

 

[Thephenom]

Absolute

 

[RehanG]

24 ball you can easily get 30-35. Only by playing sensible but this approach is wrong and brainless.

 

[heddie19]

Because intent and approach sir

Stupid shot from Farhan . This is last pair and still 4 overs to go . Why hit .

 

[Human786]

perhaps Afridi can tonk some like F-in-Law ...

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow. THey have 4 full overs left including one bumrah over. What is this guy thinking? Taking on India's main spin weapon.

 

[Asif321]

We need to accept that we are level of Afghanistan Bangladesh Srilanka westindies Ireland Zimbabwe .

 

[gazza619]

This guy hit 4 sixes and has still SR of 90.

@Rana likes chakkaaas

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Minnow bashing for the last 12 months and now a reality check.

 

[Mamoon]

Babar and Rizwan will be back. Agha will be sacked. Haris will be dropped for good. Mike Hesson will get the boot too.

I will always have the last laugh over these 0 IQ clowns.

 

[t_kaay]

If we can get something like 130 and bowl well maybe we can have a game.

A four and a six early on makes that a run a ball.......150 should have been bare minimum here but Pakistan just wanted to hit boundaries from ball 1. Over 7 overs in dot balls I think?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I am missing @Rajdeep here.

Uss ki aaj Diwali hai

 

[Asif321]

wow. THey have 4 full overs left including one bumrah over. What is this guy thinking? Taking on India's main spin weapon.

That is reason why these craps will never succeed

 

[Devadwal]

@Rana your 7th tullebaaz gone

 

[Major]

Afridiiiiiiiii

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Called it weeks ago. Only a matter of time before his drama ends and the same people who adore him today end up abusing him.

Who do you actually back then or do you just have a perennially negative outlook lol

 

[Human786]

perhaps Afridi can tonk some like F-in-Law ...

see , a 6

 

[prash88]

RizBar would have ensured 140 on this pitch. Could be a decent competitive total.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I have to say apart from Kuldeep and to some extent Varun Indian bowlers did not even bowl that well

 

[gazza619]

Busy travelling.

Wish I was travelling too. This is torture

 

[Asif321]

Shaheen hitting sixes . Shaming the batters

 

[big_gamer007]

I am missing @Rajdeep here.

He’s a true patriot who is boycotting this match, even though he doesn’t boycott a Pakistani website which we all want him to.

 

[Asad T]

slip in place in the 17th over loll

 

[jnaveen1980]

When you load the side with a lot of batsmen (including batting all rounders) you tend to leave the job to others.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Babar and Rizwan will be back. Agha will be sacked. Haris will be dropped for good. Mike Hesson will get the boot too.

I will always have the last laugh over these 0 IQ clowns.

Yeh cheez!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Shades of

 

[U$ofA]

Being part of this miserable side will destroy Nawaz and Saim too.

He is managing that on his own.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Shaheen.

Great hit.

 

[gazza619]

RizBar would have ensured 140 on this pitch. Could be a decent competitive total.

But @Rana likes chakaas

 

[Farabi]

Backing garbage players like Haris, Farhan, Faheem etc. is not wisdom, it is being an absolute helmet with no vision and no intelligence.

I’m not tied to any one player — though all three have earned their chances and deserve backing for now. What I’m really backing is the template: youngsters willing to play modern cricket, and trusting them to figure it out. You can keep singing the Rizbabar anthem if you like, but let’s be real — in white-ball lately, they’ve been more karaoke than match-winners. We lost to USA in a World Cup game with them for crying out loud.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

When you load the side with a lot of batsmen (including batting all rounders) you tend to leave the job to others.

When you load the side with part time jobbers then you tend to be in this state more often than not.

 

[SM1989]

RizBar would have ensured 140 on this pitch. Could be a decent competitive total.

Rizbar lost to the USA and failed to chase 120 against India

 

[Mamoon]

Who do you actually back then or do you just have a perennially negative outlook lol

Pakistan is a poor team, everyone knows that, but you gotta pick your best available players. They are not doing that currently.

No sensible person can watch this clown show and think that Babar and Rizwan in spite of their shortcomings don’t walk into this team.

 

[Human786]

90/7-3 to go

 

[Farabi]

But bhai this is not what we signed for.
The philosophy the brand all is missing

They have attacked throughout. Almost all wickets are catches in outfield. Application wasn’t good, but intent has been aggressive today. The skills need to improve.

You mean modern cricket like today or like scoring 160 vs Oman? When have this garbage lot played modern cricket?

 

[gazza619]

As expected Kuldeep bags 3 wickets. Our game plan was poor

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Excellent spell 3-18 Kully baba

 

[Usman Chadda]

Moral victory if we make 100 here

 

[Human786]

Rizwan certainly ...

 

[jnaveen1980]

When you load the side with part time jobbers then you tend to be in this state more often than not.

Yea. You can still build an innings and attack.

 

[Farabi]

But Pakistan lost 15 out of last 18 T20Is with both in them.

 

[globetrotter]

Great spell by Kuldeep 18/3

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

It's so funny how Pakistani fans hype themselves up every time and then their team goes out and ends up delivering performances like this more often than not.

It's not even competitive. The gap between the two teams is so large.

 

[Asif321]

Who do you actually back then or do you just have a perennially negative outlook lol

At the moment we need to just accept we are at lower level tier par at afghans , Westindies type . Babar Rizwan won’t take us on high level too . We have to stick with this group , few changes here and there , they need more experience . But right now don’t expect anything amazing from them

 

[Banda298]

We need to accept that we are level of Afghanistan Bangladesh Srilanka westindies Ireland Zimbabwe .

afghanistan bangladesh srilanka will beat Pakistan in Asia cup just wait and see.

Pak is actually not even in this league..below them

 

[Asad T]

43 in the pp
to 90 with 3 overs left

 

[sweep_shot]

Kuldeep may become the MOTM.

4-0-18-3.

 

[Human786]

another 6

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 90/7 (17 overs).

3 overs to go. Pakistan should try to get 30 or more.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan has definitely improved their six hitting. But also dot ball percentage.

 

[Asif321]

Playing final will be good achievement for Pakistan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shaheen clueless against Varun going to sky one soon

 

[Boyka]

These batsmen are even more limited than the ones that came before them lol. Only needed 150 on here

 

[sweep_shot]

Varun doesn't seem like a spinner. More like a medium bowler.

 

[prash88]

Rizbar lost to the USA and failed to chase 120 against India

This pitch is not as bad as New York. Is it?

 

[Farabi]

You mean modern cricket like today or like scoring 160 vs Oman? When have this garbage lot played modern cricket?

It’s not a finished product yet. I am reacting to what could be not what is.
Rizbabar approach got 8 tournaments. We need to give this new approach 2-3 tournaments at least to develop and see what they can do.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Infact he smacks a 6

 

[Asif321]

Shaheen hitting sixes . May be pitch getting better as it does in second innings

 

[baba ghazi]

good to see this varun chakravarty getting hit...he has been too good for too long

 

[sweep_shot]

Another six from Shaheen. He is hitting well.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

I guess psl bowling standard is quite low and all these hacks may get away by few blows every over.it does not work in international level.hope hesson will correct it.wi used to do same stuff in 2016.

They have talent but if you don't know how to rotate the strike how can you expect to be successful in white-ball?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Afridi hitting some blows.

120 looks possible now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yea. You can still build an innings and attack.

These part time jobbers can't even rotate.

 

[Human786]

Varun not picking a wicket ...
