Even team like england got smashed by india so no surprise here pak competed better than what england did in india.Very predictable match. I said India would win handily and that's exactly what happened. Though I don't think it's rocket scienece predicting that. Gulf between these two sides has never looked as much as it does right now. India are fielding arguably their greatest ever T20 side. Pakistan very much in a rebuilding period and don't look like they hold a candle to this Indian XI.
Agreed. It was in poor taste but the players are probably under strict instructionDisappointed to see no handshakes. If you’re playing against a team, then go for the handshakes after the game. The Pakistan Cricket Team has nothing to do with Pahalgam. Disappointed!
Sai is much more equipped technically for stat padding like Gill.jaiswal is for previous template which ruined by gillFrom an INdian perspective on these sluggish tacky tracks Gill is a waste of space. He would be good on good batting wickets. Heck even Sai Sudarshan woudl have been better if not Jaiswal
That is Asia cup for you. Expect more boring games in the coming days.Some nice displays of skill by Kuldeep and Abhishek but overall a pretty boring game.
They beat India twice, which is two times more than this clown team will ever manage.Do you think it wouldn't had happened if RizBabar were playing?
India in India are brutal only Aus,WI are really competitive against us .. PCT Lanka should have a good chance in UAE if they play to their strengths.Even team like england got smashed by india so no surprise here pak competed better than what england did in india.
Don't be so sure lol.ja yar @Rana you sound so dejected.
Khair hai, we will face India again next week.
Cheer up man, dont like your dejected tone.
Yes it’s first time in history of India Pakistan cricket match this has happened .Disappointed to see no handshakes. If you’re playing against a team, then go for the handshakes after the game. The Pakistan Cricket Team has nothing to do with Pahalgam. Disappointed!
Only one of those instances is when they actually were better than ICT 2021, 4 years is a long time in cricket we won't be playing Kohli-Rohit just because they have been effective against PCT in many games.They beat India twice, which is two times more than this clown team will ever manage.
You have to pick your best available squad. This is not the best available squad. There is no world where Babar and Rizwan don’t make the team.
Like it would have mattered in the day n age of drsPak will also need to battle against those BCCI raccoons in the middle. Not ONCE raised finger while Pak bowling, but ready to roll over like a puppy while Indians were bowling.
Kinda pathetic if true.First time watching Indian players not shaking hands with Pakistani players . Kinda sad but expected. They just walked away to dressing room lol
The Indian team they beat is quite different from the team today.They beat India twice, which is two times more than this clown team will ever manage.
You have to pick your best available squad. This is not the best available squad. There is no world where Babar and Rizwan don’t make the team.
There were some Pak players like Abrar and others, who posted memes and mocked the victims of Pahalgam and Ops Sindoor. So yes, they did have something to do with it.Disappointed to see no handshakes. If you’re playing against a team, then go for the handshakes after the game. The Pakistan Cricket Team has nothing to do with Pahalgam. Disappointed!
At least they could have made those handshakes worth watching.The whole thing has become so petty it's a damn handshake you guys aren't in the Army, plus it was a boring game barring Abhishek and SSA cameos
That’s not the point. Everyone knows Pakistan is a weak team and will lose to India 9/10 times. However, the responsibility of any team is to pick its best available players. How hard is that to do?The Indian team they beat is quite different from the team today.
I would had loved seeing many ppl in India burn over those handshakes lol, "jeet gaye but haath kyo shake kiya"..At least they could have made those handshakes worth watching.![]()
Yes we would have lost, but you need to give yourselves the best chance by bowling first here.Pak cricket is going through its worst phase at the moment. It would not have mattered if we played x, y or z.
We have either limited batsmen with a limited range of shots or brainless hacks who won't last more than a few deliveries against quality bowlers
Yeah well...I guess you can't have too many good things. We had a spectacular heart-stopping Test series. Now we have to eat our medicine and bear this crap. This pays for that I suppose.That is Asia cup for you. Expect more boring games in the coming days.
This doesn’t make sense. So are they never in the future shake hands with them? Pahalgam will not be undone, and whatever tweets some guys posted are now immoral. That’s why I say off the field and on the field should be separated.There were some Pak players like Abrar and others, who posted memes and mocked the victims of Pahalgam and Ops Sindoor. So yes, they did have something to do with it.
Now they will flood reels about how Surya turned his head after giving the 'laal aankh' to the Pakistani team.I would had loved seeing many ppl in India burn over those handshakes lol, "jeet gaye but haath kyo shake kiya"..
But I was told that Pakistan have selected modern T20 players now who will show Babar and Rizwan how to bat in this format. When will that happen?Bhai I can understand your Ecstasy.
But Babar and Riz used to lose lots of matches also.
SKY bhai was actually pretty nice, but is being turned into this by our warriors. I'm sure he just wants to play.Now they will flood reels about how Surya turned his head after giving the 'laal aankh' to the Pakistani team.![]()

We have constantly been 6 wicket down and going at 5-6 RPO in every game since arriving in the UAE.But I was told that Pakistan have selected modern T20 players now who will show Babar and Rizwan how to bat in this format. When will that happen?
Pakistan has beaten India 3 times in the last 10 years. Babar Azam played all those. rizwan was key in the other 2 T20s.That’s not the point. Everyone knows Pakistan is a weak team and will lose to India 9/10 times. However, the responsibility of any team is to pick its best available players. How hard is that to do?
No person with any brain cells can watch this Pakistan team and come to the conclusion that Babar and Rizwan aren’t good enough to make this team.
IT is such a drop in quality. From phenomenal edge of the seat test series to this charade. From seeing "package of dreamy cover drives" (as Mike Atherton summarized about the test series during commentary) we are seeing batsmen hacking across the line.Yeah well...I guess you can't have too many good things. We had a spectacular heart-stopping Test series. Now we have to eat our medicine and bear this crap. This pays for that I suppose.
Losing with 2 clowns or 11 clowns doesn't make a difference.They beat India twice, which is two times more than this clown team will ever manage.
You have to pick your best available squad. This is not the best available squad. There is no world where Babar and Rizwan don’t make the team.
Pakistan is an OK team with Babar, Rizwan and Shaheen on form. Pakistan is a terrible team when they are playing poorly or are not part of the team. It’s a simple fact.Pakistan has beaten India 3 times in the last 10 years. Babar Azam played all those. rizwan was key in the other 2 T20s.
Now on a 6 match losing streak!
I think if the par score is 160 to 170 this unit is a riskier unit to get there. But if the par score is 210 this unit can pull off on their day. Truth is you need the same unit to do both. You need to fill the team with players with various gears.Agreed Babar and Rizwan deserved to be dropped because of their poor SRs (until they got their act together). But at least the replacements should be better.
All we got is Farhan and Agha (very limited batsmen) or a brainless hack like Haris 'Tulla'. No sensible gear in between.
I see this as an improvement. The delusion of Pakistan heading in the right direction under Agha with players like Haris, Farhan etc. is already over. The narrative has changed already.Losing with 2 clowns or 11 clowns doesn't make a difference.
I immediaetly closed the browser right after SKY's six. I know it was going to be cringeworthy.What a pathetic post match by Sanjay Manjrekar
Imagine if the employer tells you that you can't speak against a genocide somewhere, now that employer can be sponsors or cricket boards, don't think many people will go against them.I'm sure the government told the players not to shake hands, and I am sure people in India are celebrating that more than the win, which was never in doubt.
But it reflects very poorly on the cricketers who claim to be "professionals", and showcases a lack of sportsman spirit. Also showcases a real small mindedness.
Wishing, India went ahead with the boycott calls now?He barkig the pehalgam bulshitt
Of course. They were never Pakistan fans in the first place
But I was told that Pakistan have selected modern T20 players now who will show Babar and Rizwan how to bat in this format. When will that happen?
Beautiful by Sky. Also beautiful by the organizers to ignore Agha.
Maza agaya.
He should be made to ride a donkey in the ground.Do they not invite the losing captain anymore? Where was Salman Agha?
Kuldeep is MOTM.What is going on? The paksitani captainnn dint come out for post event confernce, no MOTM?
yup.. I never really thought we will do an Afridi.ohh FFS SKY why? that wasnt needed FFS......
was going so well....utter tripe that last statement
Pakistan is an OK team with Babar, Rizwan and Shaheen on form. Pakistan is a terrible team when they are playing poorly or are not part of the team. It’s a simple fact.
These three players have been at the heart of all the major wins for Pakistan in white ball cricket in the last 5 years.
I see this as an improvement. The delusion of Pakistan heading in the right direction under Agha with players like Haris, Farhan etc. is already over. The narrative has changed already.
Apart from Saim, all the players currently playing are garbage. Give them 5 years or 50 years, they will remain garbage. If you want to bury your head in the ground and live in denial, so be it.Lets talk in 5 years where the replacements have been given atleast a 2 year unstopped run. The last time Babar had a good run with the bat was in 2023, since 2023 he has been utterly irrelevant for Pakistan in all formats. He didn't even have a good PSL season this time when he was suppossed to make a statement to the selectors about his T-20 sacking.
Also at the toss they didn’t.Again? Did it happen before?
Back and across game is missing. They are stuck on their feet. Either they plant thei frontfoot and hit occasionally coming down the line. I think Sohaib Malik, Younis were way better than these guys against spin even with lesser gears.IQ, Game Awareness, Skill and Technique gap between the batting units of the two teams. Surya, Tilak, Dube e.t.c all knew the pitch was conducive to the spinners, they took full advantage of the quick start by Abhishek, Gill and played normal, circumspect cricket against Abrar, Saim and Suffiyan and only looked to put the really bad ball away. They were very solid, compact in defence and strike rotation, it is shocking to see how bad Pakistani batsmen are against quality spinners technically, knowing which shots to play against which bowler, situation.
Even Warrican ran through our test batting line up when we prepared a dustbowl against the West Indies. It is clear our batsmen are not exposed to quality spinners and against dustbowls enough in our domestic cricket.
