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

[jnaveen1980]

Another brainless batting lol You have one full over left from pandya they are targeting Bumrah

 

[Thephenom]

Muqeem showing more skill in his 10 runs then the other batsmen further up the order

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pak needs to open the bowling with Shaheen and Abrar

 

[Bewal Express]

I am not surprised at this, I am pained and saddened. This is decades of neglect of the Domestic scene with appalling wickets, playing conditions and a lack of competition and care. Go back to basics, a strong FC system with good pay and good competition.

 

[Asif321]

Notice how the Harris brigade vanished @Mamoon

Harris is a lottery on good pitches . That’s it . His innings in t20 WC that’s what he can give maximum or some 60-70 vs apne level ki bowling .

 

[Mesozoic]

Pandya bowling slot balls...

 

[Sachin fan]

India defended 120 on such a slow pitch in USA. Maybe Pakistan can too

 

[Devadwal]

@Nikhil_cric one six already in Pandya over

 

[JaDed]

Lol Pandya bhai wth

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Need a couple more 6s from Afridi here

 

[Deewana Mastana]

6 Shaheen

 

[Asif321]

Shaheen best batter of Pakistan today

 

[Human786]

6 - 6

 

[imran1976]

Now the batting is normal and this will continue with Indian batsmen.

 

[sweep_shot]

3rd six from Shaheen.

Shaheen has been the best Pakistani batter today.

 

[Devadwal]

Pandya kya kar rha hai bhai .back to back six

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Need a couple more 6s from Afridi here

4 more and his papa in law will take out a rally

 

[jnaveen1980]

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.

You need a bit of first class experience where you learn the art of constructing a knock. Atleast List A experience. This hackathon approach will be even more brutally exposed by full strength teams of Australia, SA, England on true wickets. THey built this "all out aggressive" unit for flat pitches even sacrificing a fast bowler.

 

[JaDed]

SSA can bat like in law daddy

 

[Mesozoic]

Pakistan should probably use Shaheen the way India used to use Irfan Pathan.

Send him up the order from time to time and ask him to play aggressively.

 

[Asif321]

Omg wow wow wow

 

[Champ_Pal]

Shaheen doing it all himself.

 

[Ahmed216]

Highlight of the day so far is India giving bowling practice to Abhishek against our modern day batsman Sahibzada

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan should probably use Shaheen the way India used to use Irfan Pathan.

Send him up the order from time to time and ask him to play aggressively.

People bashed him for calling him AR lol

 

[Nikhil_cric]

@Devadwal I told you PAK can make 140 with Hardik bowling

 

[sweep_shot]

Another six.

 

[RexRex]

Afridis are known for their six hitting.

 

[t_kaay]

Pretty much 10 overs of dot balls. Even singles would have added another 50 or 60 runs. Brainless.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Pandya is so bad

 

[Mesozoic]

Blinder of a knock from SSA TBH.

 

[Ball Blazer]

6 on full toss. woahhhh

 

[Ball Blazer]

Just Afridi things...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pandya is bowling 125 kph pies.

 

[Asif321]

Shame on our power hitters . Shaheen showing the real hitting

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Get 131 come on Shaheen

 

[Human786]

target 128

 

[AZulfi]

India will chase this down in 10-12 overs

Forget about winning. Current Pak team cannot even compete with India

Same story will be repeated next Sunday!

 

[Devadwal]

We need 128 to win the match

 

[Asif321]

Some how 127 didn’t look possible at once . Shaheen the best batter who would have expected that hahaha

 

[Deewana Mastana]

127-9

128 to win

 

[Thephenom]

Now come out and take a first 3 ball hat trick

 

[globetrotter]

128 to win

 

[sweep_shot]

India need 128 to win.

 

[JaDed]

India will chase this down in 10-12 overs

Forget about winning. Current Pak team cannot even compete with India

Same story will be repeated next Sunday!

lol no way.. PCT isnt that bad

 

[jnaveen1980]

India cost atleast 20 runs more due to lack of extra seamer

 

[Nikhil_cric]

India will chase this down in 10-12 overs

Forget about winning. Current Pak team cannot even compete with India

Same story will be repeated next Sunday!

Impossible on this pitch

 

[Rana]

No where near enough

Score on the board though

Will take a monumental bowling effort

 

[charlie007]

Frankly, this is a decent score given the pitch. It’s not going to be a cakewalk… far from it

 

[batandballbattle]

SSA showing it runs in the family
still though india should chase this in 15 overs tops

 

[Champ_Pal]

128 to win for India.

Not the best bowling day for India. Should be an easy win.

Lets see what Pak spinners can do.

 

[CricVet]

Game not over until it is.

 

[Farabi]

Where is the modern cricket sir?

Where is the modern cricket sir?

It’s questions like these that reinforce that Pakistanis have no clue what modern cricket is.

I’m REALLY happy with Pakistan’s intent today — you couldn’t ask for a more modern approach. They kept attacking the Indian bowlers, never got stuck just because the name was Bumrah or Kuldeep. That’s exactly what we want to see. Now it’s just about sharpening the skills, refining the application, and building on this approach.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Fighting total. India needs to pick another pacer. Can’t let tailenders like Shaheen get away like this.

 

[Ahmed216]

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.

No I can say you're being dishonest. Sahibzada was blocking 6 balls and then trying to hit a six. Is that what you call agression.
40 off 44 from the modern day batsman who's supposed to attack bowlers even with wickets falling around him.

 

[Rana]

Very poor batting

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Only 40 short

 

[JaDed]

Blinder of a knock from SSA TBH.

Yeah

ll be proud

 

[Asif321]

Tear apart agha and Hesson , if India chases this easily

 

[Farabi]

Notice how the Harris brigade vanished @Mamoon

I am right here. Mohammad Haris is Pakistan’s top 2-3 prospects for T20Is right now. Probably the most talented opener in Asia currently.

 

[Human786]

target 128

You guys are slow
& Pandu should be the 6th bowling option !!!

 

[big_gamer007]

Afridi has changed the game, Pakistan are in drivers seat now, 80-20 to Pakistan from here on.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

What a finish Shaheen.

All is forgiven.

We are back in the game now

 

[Mohraheem]

All Misbah fans! Make sure u sleep with Afridi poster next to your brd

 

[imran1976]

It all went down to the mindset -- mentally weak batsmen allowed Indian spinners to dominate -- Afridi attacked, the result is in front of us.

Our batsmen couldn't handle straight deliveries.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pitch has something for spinners and with new ball, pacers have something too.

Very crucial first 5 overs.

 

[Rana]

Turning point in the innings was the 7th over by Kuldeep I think

Really poor to play 5 dots straight after the powerplay once you’ve dealt with 3 overs of Bumrah

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Shaheen teaching these guys how to bat lol

 

[Farabi]

No I can say you're being dishonest. Sahibzada was blocking 6 balls and then trying to hit a six. Is that what you call agression.
40 off 44 from the modern day batsman who's supposed to attack bowlers even with wickets falling around him.

Yes strike strike rotation was poor.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shaheen teaching these guys how to bat lol

He does this in every match. Occasionally connects like Haris Rauf connected against Afghanistan. INdia bowled him full length . He won't get that in next match

 

[daytrader]

Played 20 overs! Massive achievement for the young guns

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Imagine playing 10 overs of your t20 inning in Dot Balls.. Pakistani Batsmen need to learn that Spinners cant be allowed to bowl dots in Middle overs. You gotta rotate strike if you cant hit them

 

[G0rmintAunty]

SSA should.bring this Aag in his bowling now.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Shaheen is still Pakistan's best cricketer

 

[ravisurya]

In this line up SSA should be batting at 5.

 

[Major]

I am right here. Mohammad Haris is Pakistan’s top 2-3 prospects for T20Is right now. Probably the most talented opener in Asia currently.

Biggest garbage player ever

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

The pitch is nothing special, Pak batters were too timid & scared. They don't have the guts to manage pressure & hence the confused cricket.

 

[AZulfi]

Impossible on this pitch

I posted my comment when Pak were 90 odd for 9

Ok make it 14 overs lol

 

[Usman Chadda]

He does this in every match. Occasionally connects like Haris Rauf connected against Afghanistan. INdia bowled him full length . He won't get that in next match

India bowled garbage like Pandya to him, that’s why we have this score

 

[Rana]

Heartbroken tbh

Even if we do get close with bowling,

I will not defend this batting. It was shambolic.

 

[jnaveen1980]

In this line up SSA should be batting at 5.

They might do that lol He bats exactly like how some of their top order bats. Swipes across the line.
