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

[Rana]

Played 20 overs! Massive achievement for the young guns

We really missed Babar’s threat of potentially hitting 6x4 in an over

 

[jnaveen1980]

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

India sat Arshdeep out to elongate their batting. Not for this match alone. THis is how they are training for next world cup. In some matches Arshdeep will play.

 

[Asif321]

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

Talent won’t take you long , you need performances . Umar akmal is prime example . Amir had talent and he showed it with performances on minimal experiences .

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

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

Pakistan should request the ICC to turn this into a T10 match since they only managed to play 10 overs anyway.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Indian Dominance in T20 Cricket relies on Kuldeep and varun bowling well in Middle. Hardik can be taken down and so can be Bumrah. 28/2 against him is better than his career ER

 

[Rana]

Pakistan’s only chance here is to somehow get the RQ rate to 8 by 6-7th over and take 3 wickets at least in the powerplay

99% unlikely to happen

 

[daytrader]

Your fascination with chakkas continues. Guess you're happy with Sahibzada's efforts

Axar compensated for Bumrah and Bumrah was still decent.

You’ve got to find a way out

If Shaheen can smash them for sixes….why can’t the specialist batters?

Bumrah bowled 15 dot balls . Bar that no ball and hackish fours he hardly conceded anything despite operating at low intensity.

time to admit Harris sucks?

 

[Ahmed216]

Because they're garbage like their supporters

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

no he was trying those yorkers way too much. Even last wicket , if muqeem had made connection it would have flown. it was full toss. Bumrah tried 2-3 Glory Balls every over so hard to say he was low on intensity.

 

[Rana]

time to admit Harris sucks?

No, the decision to kick out Rizwan and Babar is the correct decision

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan is a bowling team. Them trying to becoming a hitting team is never going to work out. They dropped Haris Rauf and play Faheem for depth.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

No, the decision to kick out Rizwan and Babar is the correct decision

In this moment no it wasn't. Babar is a top order batter, Haris is a lower order hack.

However for long term planning yes it was.

 

[jnaveen1980]

no he was trying those yorkers way too much. Even last wicket , if muqeem had made connection it would have flown. it was full toss. Bumrah tried 2-3 Glory Balls every over so hard to say he was low on intensity.

He would nail these deliveries at full throttle. He would not have played but for intense scrutiny on him about his work load management.

 

[ads101]

Came back actually impressed we got to 127, much more than I expected. Well done Shaheen. At least this is something to bowl at.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

You’ve got to find a way out

This is where Intent Comes in.

 

[heddie19]

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.

Did I watch a different match bro? What attack? Sahibzada hit 3 or 4 sixes and he ended up SR of 90. No batter in the team barring Shaheen has SR more than 115. Captain went for SR of 25. You sure you're okay?

 

[Mesozoic]

Abhishek will go full throttle and try to kill the game off in the first few overs.

If a wicket falls, I feel gill and Samson will consolidate.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

He would nail these deliveries at full throttle. He would not have played but for intense scrutiny on him about his work load management.

ok

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan should go with 3 seamers and 3 spinners. That will allow them to roll teams for low scores and chase down with ease.

 

[Hermoine Green]

You’ve got to find a way out

If Shaheen can smash them for sixes….why can’t the specialist batters?

Yet you still think these tullaybaz kids are 10x better than Rizwan and Babar

 

[Rana]

Because they're garbage like their supporters

Pakistan is going nowhere with Babar and Rizwan. Accept it. We have to move on.

 

[RexRex]

This pitch is viperous.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Nice to see Irfan and Sehwag giving their takes on this match in Extra Innings.

#NoBoycott

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

We have a game.

Doesn’t take much for a complete flip

 

[mominsaigol]

@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

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

^^ This comment is filled with cringe. Majesty @Devadwal .

 

[Rana]

Yet you still think these tullaybaz kids are 10x better than Rizwan and Babar

They are for T20

Not for Test cricket.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Axar compensated for Bumrah and Bumrah was still decent.

Looking at quality of Pak batters , 28/2 with tail ender wicket on last ball. I would call it sub par for Bumrah

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abhishek will go full throttle and try to kill the game off in the first few overs.

If a wicket falls, I feel gill and Samson will consolidate.

Abhi will give chances. That is his role. Going after bowling. So consistency should not be expected

 

[Devadwal]

Good luck team india for 2nd half

 

[t_kaay]

Pakistan is a bowling team. Them trying to becoming a hitting team is never going to work out. They dropped Haris Rauf and play Faheem for depth.

In which case, they should have bowled 1st. Always play to your strengths. By batting 1st and posting a low total, even if we have them 3 or 4 down in the pp, they can still stroll to a win.

 

[Major]

ja yar @Rana you sound so dejected.

Khair hai, we will face India again next week.

Cheer up man, dont like your dejected tone.

 

[Asif321]

No kohli no rohit you can still put them under pressure . Shaheen has to cause the damage

 

[heddie19]

The forum will be so much better with everyone admitting the facts over their personal agendas or ego.

Heartbroken tbh

Even if we do get close with bowling,

I will not defend this batting. It was shambolic.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

India poor at the death. 44 off last 22 balls. Somewhat poor in the PP as well considering the swing available.

Squeezed like a python in the middle overs and limited PAK to 4 RPO

 

[Asif321]

If they chase this easily that will mean Hesson and Agha committed a blunder by batting first !

 

[Mainul]

I think still it is possible for Pakistan

 

[Ahmed216]

Pakistan is going nowhere with Babar and Rizwan. Accept it. We have to move on.

Pak team is going down the gutter with current lot. And the fans deserve it for being delusional and agenda ridden

 

[Darkrai]

Time for real aggressive cricket.

 

[Rana]

The forum will be so much better with everyone admitting the facts over their personal agendas or ego.

That doesn’t mean I don’t back these boys all the way

Bad day in the office.

We have to improve.

 

[Devadwal]

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

He gave 16 runs in final over. This is concerning not just about this match but our bowling line up for World T20.

What is your opinion about Bumrah. He hasn't Bowl anything close to his best.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

India poor at the death. 44 off last 22 balls. Somewhat poor in the PP as well considering the swing available.

If only Pak batters played sensible in middle overs and not play out 10 overs of Dot Balls. Score could have been above 160 Without much hassle

 

[Rana]

Salman Agha

Really poor innings

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

A MATCH WINNING TOTAL

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

That doesn’t mean I don’t back these boys all the way

Bad day in the office.

We have to improve.

M haris would nt get into 8th Back up of team of India considering all the reserve keepers of India that have played Int Cricket

 

[Devadwal]

First ball and it's four by ABHISHEK

 

[Asif321]

Look at him and look at timid Saim

 

[Mesozoic]

Abhishek my boy ..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

666 by Abhishek

 

[prash88]

Abishek Sharma Show on?

 

[Devadwal]

First ball four and 2nd ball six by Abhishek ​

 

[Asif321]

Shaheen humiliated already

 

[castortroy]

Look at the difference in class.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He gave 16 runs in final over. This is concerning not just about this match but our bowling line up for World T20.

What is your opinion about Bumrah. He hasn't Bowl anything close to his best.

Yeah. It's a concern. Not sure. We have to look for options.

 

[t_kaay]

And just like that, its now a run a ball

 

[Asif321]

Chase is way to go here . Blunder by Agha

 

[Asif321]

Look at the difference in class.

Look at our overhyped Saim

 

[RexRex]

Afridi will bowl only yorkers.

 

[cricketfan24]

bring in spinner

 

[Major]

Chase is way to go here . Blunder by Agha

that boat has sailed sir

 

[Devadwal]

No slip for Shaheen in his first over

 

[Azaad]

Chase is way to go here . Blunder by Agha

Bro, if Pak was chasing, you would have said, why didn't they bat first...

 

[Mesozoic]

Have massive respect for Shaheen..

Looks like the only mentally strong Pakistani cricketer right now.

 

[Nasty Naz]

It took 2 balls to show the difference in class between the garbage batting in Pakistan versus India.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pace is up from Shaheen. Always at his fastest against us.

 

[globetrotter]

Afridi chucking

 

[Asif321]

Expensive . Sharma kicked Shaheen pretty bad there

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Abysmal body language from Pakistan

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 12/0 (1 over).

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abhishek, Gill, Shaheen all 3 are from 2018 under-19 world cup batch

 

[Shaka81]

Has Pakistan reached it's lowest ever point where our best batsman was Shaheen Shah Afridi....?! So many hacks and neverbeens in one team. It's horrible to watch!

 

[RexRex]

Have massive respect for Shaheen..

Looks like the only mentally strong Pakistani cricketer right now.

He's a proper Pashtun warrior.

 

[Asif321]

Bro, if Pak was chasing, you would have said, why didn't they bat first...

No Bhai we have seen in UAE chasing has been easy. Pakistan won both games vs India in UAE chasing . T20 WC and that Asia cup with Nawaz heroics

 

[pillionrider]

You CAN take singles with the field up.

 

[adi_62941]

Machinist start. Again saim. Why???

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Saim baby

Abhishek will eat him or vice versa

 

[Ahmed216]

Look at the body language of our players. Sad really
