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

[gazza619]

NOt sure what lesson pakistan can take home. Can they suddenly become great strike rotators?

There is a big lesson. Hitting fours is also considered aggression not just hitting sixes.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Saim baby with no 3

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

ALmost all his sixes in his career are like this. Just extends his arm using his reach. Often struggles once the ball is a touch short. Pandya basically fed him halwas.

That's true

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Saim takes his 3rd wicket

 

[Asif321]

PCB should immediately arrange a home series inviting our African brothers Uganda

 

[JaDed]

WTH Tilak..

 

[OldWarHorse]

Deserved that. Played selfish cricket Varma

 

[Vikram1989]

With DRS in place, did it make any difference really?

Not even on wrong decision after drs.only sour grapes.

 

[gazza619]

Saim takes his 3rd wicket

Was a beauty

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shaheen scoring 30 from 15, Saim Ayub getting 3 wickets. Man this Pakistan team is a joke

Tujhe abhi pata chala hai Shah jee

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

This umpire becomes proper when India is batting but is a Sunday league umpire when Pakistan is batting lol

Rana sahab had pak got 160 with the way saim is bowling anything could have happen.

 

[Mesozoic]

Reminded me off Gill dismissal against Abras in CT

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Shaheen Pakistan's best batsman today
Saim their best bowler

How can you take this team seriously?

that was a beaut of a delivery though

 

[JaDed]

Saim on his way to be Lala? Started as a batsman became a bowler

 

[daytrader]

Saim getting wickets, Shaheen hitting sixes. Reverse their roles Salman

 

[jnaveen1980]

Tilak had too many dots. Should reduce dot balls

 

[Devadwal]

This umpire becomes proper when India is batting but is a Sunday league umpire when Pakistan is batting lol

DRS liya kya hua ? Missing stump

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Was a beauty

Bamboozled Verma

 

[Rana]

With DRS in place, did it make any difference really?

It makes a difference

Pakistan batters are mentally scared this umpire will shaft them. The umpire’s call itself can screw you.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Saim the destroyer but with the ball

Bigger destroyer with the bat.. for his own team lolzz

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Who would’ve thought Ayub has taken all three wickets so far.

 

[Farabi]

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?

Bro, what is strike rate of SKY and Tilak it’s 100. They are ahead because of that cameo from Abhishek.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Need to bring Shaheen back

 

[JaDed]

Dube doesn't give good vibes outside India

 

[Vikram1989]

Pak should try to get a proper opener and put saim at 7 for a pinch hitter.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Pakistan team has many problems.

Our best batsmen is unfortunately Shaheen whose primary skillset is bowling and he is bang ordinary at it.

Our best bowler so far is Saim whose primary skill is batting but seems to be hatching eggs every time he comes out to bat.

Our batsmen can't construct innings and our bowlers primary skillset is defensive bowling which doesn't work when the batters don't score.

Losing to India is fine but unless Pakistan realizes that there are gaping holes in team structure and ability the results will continue to be similar.

This team is worse than the team of 2021-22 season and that's the problem.

Teams and people get better as they go forward in time. We are in reverse gear, our past is better than our current and our current will be better than the future. That's a downward slope & that's the real problem.

Agha doesn't bowl, if he is not bowling then there's no point in him playing.
Farhan isn't it, no matter how much he bullies domestic cricketers, he just isn't it.
Haris does not have the ability to play the way he wants.
Fahim and Nawaz will never be good enough.
Shaheen post injury is a shadow of himself.

Hassan has potential but he will learn real quick that it's not enough.

This team is ordinary.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I was in 4th grade and my parents were away watched the entire game lol ..

Sachin smacking azhar mehmood or aquib for continuous fours..

Yeah. Sachin gave a brutal start which proved to be crucial and was MOTM.

Pakistan struggled without Wasim Akram.

 

[Mesozoic]

Im pretty sure Manjrekar is butchering his name..

 

[JaDed]

Bro, what is strike rate of SKY and Tilak it’s 100. They are ahead because of that cameo from Abhishek.

That’s their SR because they are chasing a low total

 

[Devadwal]

Joke aside saim ball was brilliant , Pakistan don't need two proper spinner when saim and Agha can bowl. Maybe a place for Rauf

 

[kant]

Sanjay Manjrekar mispronouncing Saim is annyoing.

 

[Rana]

Rana sahab had pak got 160 with the way saim is bowling anything could have happen.

Hard to say bro.

You need 180+ against this team

 

[globetrotter]

How many Pakistani supporters still thinks they are winning this match... pls raise your hand

 

[Savak]

NOt sure what lesson pakistan can take home. Can they suddenly become great strike rotators?

When your domestic cricket is not producing quality spinners and batters don't have continuous exposure in their domestic cricket against quality spinners on dust bowls, you will always struggle against a team like India which has a plethora of awesome spinners and rank turners in their domestic cricket

 

[Mesozoic]

Where is Samson?

Guy went from opener to a lower order finisher in the span of a week just to accomodate BCCI's nanna munna Gill.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Im pretty sure Manjrekar is butchering his name..

Yeah calls him Sayyab for some reason

 

[Devadwal]

Bigger destroyer with the bat.. for his own team lolzz

But don't you think he has done his job as a bowler.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

8 wicket loss incoming as predicted last week

Amazing predictions. 80 ao and 8 wicket loss. Well done.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Reminded me off Gill dismissal against Abras in CT

 

[JaDed]

Yeah. Sachin gave a brutal start which proved to be crucial and was MOTM.

Pakistan struggled without Wasim Akram.

Sachin was MOS, Dada of MOTM.. for his ton, yeah without Wasim PCT had a very tough time against India in 1990s, even their 1996 wc loss

RizBar have to comeback

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wasim is living in cuckooland

 

[Devadwal]

@The Bald Eagle @BouncerGuy Where are you brother? I'm really missing both of you in this thread

 

[Vikram1989]

Will sky be recognised by ppers as a success now. he have finally statpadded successfully against pak.

 

[castortroy]

Amazing predictions. 80 ao and 8 wicket loss. Well done.

Not far of

 

[globetrotter]

Pretty steady, cool, professional performance from India against what to be honest, looks like an amateur team.

Makes for a bit boring viewing but good for the heart I suppose.

Remember India is No.1 T20 tram

 

[Mesozoic]

Wasim thinks 150 could have been defended lmao.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

But don't you think he has done his job as a bowler.

His primary job was with the bat where he failed... so these 3 wickets are just useless for me

 

[sweep_shot]

27 to win.

 

[Ahmed216]

Bro, what is strike rate of SKY and Tilak it’s 100. They are ahead because of that cameo from Abhishek.

Absurd. Their strike rates are low after such a good start because they're chasing only 128. These guys turn into monsters when required

Other teams have gotten quite a bit better.

NZ have finally moved on from Conway and Williamson to Chapman and Seifert.

SA from Bavuma and Parnell.

India have some aggressive left handers to disturb the bowlers' rhythms instead of KL Rahul etc.

 

[Rana]

RizBar have to comeback

Yeah no they don’t.

 

[sweep_shot]

All Asia Cup games have been one-sided so far. Not a single close game.

I hope Afghanistan-SL will be a great game.

 

[Rajdeep]

Man City beat Mau Utd by 3-0...take that.

Oops wrong thread. Sorry @Bhaag Viru Bhaag bhai. Hope you enjoying the game

 

[OldWarHorse]

That was a nice jersey from Pakistan

 

[JaDed]

Slowest inning of SKY i’ve seen live

 

[Cricket Warrior]

@The Bald Eagle @BouncerGuy Where are you brother? I'm really missing both of you in this thread

bhai main hun na.. jo kehna hai kaho mujhay because i know my team is pathetic lolzz

 

[Mesozoic]

Samson needs batting practise.

What was the point of sending Dube here when the game is already done?

 

[PakFan2010]

I'm only watching as I want to see if the Indian players shake hands with Pakistan.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Can Pakistans best spinner in the world right now get a wicket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

32 year old Salman Ali Agha's role is exactly what for the next world cup? He is striking at 125. Doesn't bowl.

 

[daytrader]

There is a big lesson. Hitting fours is also considered aggression not just hitting sixes.

Not for Chakkay lovers like @Rana

 

[Sachin fan]

It makes a difference

Pakistan batters are mentally scared this umpire will shaft them. The umpire’s call itself can screw you.

But there wasnt a single umpire's call yet?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Can Pakistans best spinner in the world right now get a wicket.

Hesson in todays interview. he will say "I meant to say Saim is the best bowler in the world" lol

 

[Rana]

Not for Chakkay lovers like @Rana

It’s you who wants dancing boys like Rizwan in the team.

 

[Sachin fan]

Not for Chakkay lovers like @Rana

And who would have score those chaukeys? The same Rizbar who couldnt chase 120 against India in the world cup? Or the ones who lost to USA?

 

[Justcrazy]

India should wrap this up within 16 overs

 

[JaDed]

Moral victor for PcT , ICt couldnt chase it in 15.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

I'm only watching as I want to see if the Indian players shake hands with Pakistan.

I’ve stopped watching. Anyways, let us know if they do.

 

[Mesozoic]

Faheem Ashraf, the social media warrior hiding from the Indian batters?

 

[jnaveen1980]

ABhishek and Gill are buddies from childhood.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Hesson was talking about someone else

 

[jnaveen1980]

Slowest inning of SKY i’ve seen live

Since the captaincy he has been failing with bat. Look at his last few innings. It was atrociosu.

 

[PakFan2010]

Shaheen is going to ger injured diving around.

You never see Bumrah diving like that.

 

[gazza619]

Nawaz looks the most toothless against India.

Next time we must play Rauf.

 

[JaDed]

Since the captaincy he has been failing with bat. Look at his last few innings. It was atrociosu.

Unfortunate because not all teams will be like this

 

[Mesozoic]

Typical india pakistan game..

Pakistan gets a below pat total.

India chases it down in a boring fashion.

One meme catch drop..

 

[Asif321]

Agha was supposed to be batting all rounder . Rather Saim became one. Faheem ashraf in team for scoring 10-15 runs . Such waste of space . We can easily add Khushdil there

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Dube playing his usual role of utter waste of space.

Dunno whose comprimising pictures this guy has - hasnt bowled, bats ahead of Samson. Hack

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan should try to score 170 runs against UAE with minimum boundaries as a test
