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

[Asif321]

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

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

Being in finals will be massive achievement for Pakistan tbh

 

[Human786]

Varun not picking a wicket ...

now he does

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Is that what they said that it should be bowling first wicket?

Yup. SKY wanted to bowl first anyway

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Faheem gone lbw

 

[imran1976]

These couple of shots from Afridi shows that nothing wrong in the pitch.

our mentally weak low quality batsman brought pressure on themselves by playing defensive against the spinners.

 

[sweep_shot]

Given out.

Review time.

 

[chinaman00]

Faheem is so useless. What’s he doing in this team? Matter of fact, what are 95% of the players doing in this team?

 

[ads101]

Please somehow get 120

 

[Asif321]

Rana with Terrible shot

 

[RehanG]

Clueless, why reverse sweep!!! just play the overs out. absolute garbage.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yup. SKY wanted to bowl first anyway

Oh right I suppose Hesson has become that clueless while spending his time with this bunch already

 

[Ahmed216]

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.

Why is that you blame only Babar and Rizwan for that US loss? It was a very tough tournament for batter. Even Nepal almost defended 120 against SA.
Remember that terrible last over by Rauf? And super over from Amir. Against US

 

[Champ_Pal]

Only inside edge will save him.

 

[Asif321]

We won’t be able to play 20 overs that’s a shame !

 

[Major]

Clueless, why reverse sweep!!! just play the overs out. absolute garbage.

naa, intent is right. When spinners are doing well, reverse sweep are go to shots

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Varun is similar.

Varun has great numbers too but Kuldeep is a more versatile and multidimensional bowler I feel. Who can be successful in all formats

 

[sweep_shot]

Out.

97/8.

 

[adi_62941]

Pitch is batting friendly. Indian spinners knows where to pitch the ball for pak batters

 

[chinaman00]

Clueless, why reverse sweep!!! just play the overs out. absolute garbage.

He’s been reverse sweeping the whole time. Got found out.

 

[Zeshan547]

Rana g thought he is Maxwell, the clown show continue one after the other. biggest clowns are maybe us who are still watching this circus and supporting this hopeless team.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why are pakistanis batting liek GLen maxwell, Ben duckett trying to reverse everything

 

[Human786]

99/8 - 2 left

 

[sweep_shot]

Varun has great numbers too but Kuldeep is a more versatile and multidimensional bowler I feel. Who can be successful in all formats

Varun is a medium bowler to me. Not a spinner.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Shaheen is playing like Yuvi

 

[charlie007]

Having watched so many India Pakistan matches, this match isn’t over yet.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Varun has great numbers too but Kuldeep is a more versatile and multidimensional bowler I feel. Who can be successful in all formats

Yeah of course. Kuldeep gives it a proper rip.

 

[Asif321]

Babar surely coming back at number 3.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Personally I would be amazed if India even lose 1 or 2 wickets.

Expecting this to be chased within 10 overs.

 

[Farabi]

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

This

 

[Ahmed216]

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

It’s game of skills. ‘Intent’ cannot change that reality

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Shaheen has looked so much assured than proper batters vs spin lol

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 99/8 (18 overs).

 

[jnaveen1980]

Having watched so many India Pakistan matches, this match isn’t over yet.

There was one Asia cup match where Pakistan was all out for 83. India was 8/3 at one point chasing it. Amir took all 3. Kohli put a finishing touch INdia winning comfortably from that point

 

[Human786]

Having watched so many India Pakistan matches, this match isn’t over yet.

perhaps ...

 

[Thephenom]

I’ve said it for a few years now, why not send Afridi out higher in the order, does much better then some of the so called specialists

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Masha'Allah 100 up at last better late than never

 

[Mesozoic]

100 crossed..

Shahid Afridi taking out a victory rally in Karachi as we speak..

 

[Devadwal]

Free hit. Jassi kya kiya Bhai

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Why is that you blame only Babar and Rizwan for that US loss? It was a very tough tournament for batter. Even Nepal almost defended 120 against SA.
Remember that terrible last over by Rauf? And super over from Amir. Against US

People simply forget how pathetic American pitches were. Horrible games.
and against USA, Amir lost his head in the super over completely giving away like 10 extra runs.

 

[Golu-momin]

@Devadwal bro , @mominsaigol is running away by making excuses dont let him hide anywhere the guy who used to comment while even pooping in flights now saying in travelling
As evident if he lose against you , he have to surrender against you and have to serve rest of his life in yours and my majesty

 

[Asif321]

If India chases this easily . Agha and Hesson should be torn apart for batting first

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Such brainless batting by Faheem. What was the need for that high risk shot when you have two balls left in Varun's spell and two overs still remaining in the innings

Zero responsibility or game awareness shown

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sufi baby smashes it 4 runs

Lovely shot

 

[heddie19]

Where is the modern cricket sir?

I’m not tied to any one player — though all three have earned their chances and deserve backing for now.

[RexRex]

Great drive.

 

[Human786]

109/8

 

[Devadwal]

Sufiyan>>>> rest of Pakistan batsman

 

[GudduBadmash]

But but but but we are hitting more sixes than we did previously

View attachment 157817

He is probably happy because ultimately his main goal is to have Rizwan out of the team

 

[Mesozoic]

Bumrah bowling with low intensity.

 

[Asif321]

Kashmiri boy on fire lol . Pitch getting better ?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 more backing away and bang

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Pakistan's tailenders showing the batsmen how to bat

 

[Vikram1989]

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

Am not sure about their willingness to learn /adapt against the strong teams. Again and again similar mistakes against kuldeep in all formats and never bothered to rectify them.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Bumrah is washed

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pakistani bowlers are playing better than their main batsmen lol.

 

[cricketfan24]

all imad and amirs fault

 

[GudduBadmash]

Muqeem showing Haris, Saim, Agha and Nawaz how to bat

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

these shots prove how ***** how batting was in this match

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bumrah bowling with low intensity.

He is playing just for the sake. Should use Arshdeep.

 

[Devadwal]

59 dot bals out of 114 balls so far

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pakistan can reach 140. 1 over of Hardik left as well.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

50% dot balls out of 120 balls



Pakistan -> jeeway

 

[oatmeal]

This duo is batting better than the middle order

 

[Ahmed216]

The philosophy is simple. Pick your best players and play whatever brand you want to play. Current lot are hacks

 

[Farabi]

Why is that you blame only Babar and Rizwan for that US loss? It was a very tough tournament for batter. Even Nepal almost defended 120 against SA.
Remember that terrible last over by Rauf? And super over from Amir. Against US

I’m not blaming Rizwan and Babar for that loss. But come on — they were in leadership roles, opening in their comfort zone, and still couldn’t stop Pakistan from two years of embarrassment.
You and @Mamoon talk like we were steamrolling everyone and then suddenly got bored and changed the template. Bro, this isn’t Netflix where you switch shows mid-season — we weren’t winning in the first place and were FORCED to try something else.

 

[Asif321]

all imad and amirs fault

That game vs india ,Pakistan had best ever bowling attack . Dream bowling attack . Shame the batting bottled v

 

[jnaveen1980]

He got away with 2 fours thanks to a noball. But wouln't it be easier to take on pandya.

 

[Human786]

111/9

 

[RehanG]

130 would have been fighting score. Only a bit sensible batting and few more 1ns and 2s

 

[Mesozoic]

Bumrah 2/28 even in an off game lol.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bowled Sufi

 

[Mainul]

I told it repeatedly,this Hasan Newaz,Haris,Ashraf,Newaz are over hyped. They are always exposed against good sides

 

[Champ_Pal]

Decent recovery from Pak.

 

[Major]

Notice how the Harris brigade vanished @Mamoon

 

[sweep_shot]

Bowled.

PAK - 111/9 (19 overs).

 

[Human786]

Muqeem has real slender forearms ...

 

[Deewana Mastana]

130 would have been fighting score. Only a bit sensible batting and few more 1ns and 2s

They wanted 180 cant even get 120

 

[Devadwal]

9th wicket gone @Rana

 

[Nikhil_cric]

India should bowl Dube

 

[Vikram1989]

Why are pakistanis batting liek GLen maxwell, Ben duckett trying to reverse everything

They are going for the cool shots than sensible ones .basic quality of any hack.
