India (150/5) defeat Pakistan (146) by 5 wickets in thrilling encounter to clinch Asia Cup 2025 title

[Josh]

There seems to be something wrong with his batting technique. Looks as if the bat is too heavy for him. Soft grip hence the mistimings

He is tulla ..will.perform.on.true flat wickets

 

[m.shah]

Even Shaheen is good batsman than Haris

 

[imran1976]

If they wanted to send a hitter, it should have been Shaheen Afridi.

 

[psyoptica]

What goes up must come down

 

[sweep_shot]

Really!! 3 Down?

Apology. I thought Fakhar was out. It was Saim.

Anyway, 3 down now. Haris departs.

 

[Major]

Harris wicket wont effect us, he was always gonna be hit and miss

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan loosing the plot. Great comeback by India

They lost it when Farhan got out

 

[Energy]

Thankfully Agha has the balls to come himself.

 

[Kianig89]

Haris got a duck

 

[prash88]

Nawaz, Shaheen and Faheem should be the next batters

Agha... Should have sent Nawaz may be

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Don’t tell me this is where these plonkers bottle it

 

[mango_bite77]

Self imploding mode on

Yaar ye Haris mirgi ladh hai. Gave straight into the hands.

 

[imshally81]

Agha on

 

[U$ofA]

This is a 200 par score wicket. Pak. need that minimum

 

[batandballbattle]

aaaand here's where it comes apart
like the second game we start well but don't finish well

 

[jnaveen1980]

"Haris goes for 2 runs" - Akram

Akram ji you have one job to do . That is reading the scoreboard lol You fail even at that

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

haris and Saim absolute duds in this lineup

 

[chinaman00]

This is when Pakistan will start missing not playing Hasan Nawaz. Talat has been useless all along his career.

 

[psyoptica]

Can’t slow down with the fall of these wickets.

 

[Kianig89]

Nawaz should have come, Agha Is a trotter

 

[Savak]

Pakistan's inability to deal with Indian spinners in the middle overs was going to be a big problem. You need 360 stroke play to deal with these spinners in this format otherwise they and the Indian captain via field placements can easily tie the batsmen down if they are limited in their stroke play

 

[straighttalk]

This would be one of the most shameful and embarrassing losses for India if that happens.

Not at all..WC 2023 ..prestige our form home game...ct17..prestige..this is gallintulla cricket..we will win Asian cup at least 5 times in next 10 years..only spice is off field stuff

 

[Asif321]

Harris actually played a good shot lol but straight to man

 

[Major]

I think we were decent in this mid overs. Now in the last 6 overs need to attack on the full

 

[mango_bite77]

Nawaz should be sent

Need him post 16th over. Cant see Agha and Talat scoring

 

[gazza619]

Nawaz should have come, Agha Is a trotter

Need Nawaz for last 3-4 overs

 

[Devadwal]

Kuldeep is terrible today. No control whatsoever

 

[mango_bite77]

Wasim hyped him up and he failed

Panoti

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just the tail left for Pakistan

 

[DeadlyVenom]

They are going for it made, no where they lost it in the last match

Let's see man

 

[m.shah]

Akshar has been handy for India

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 118/3 (14 overs).

 

[psyoptica]

Why did Haris launch where there was a fielder? That was a stupid risk with 0 pay off

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Calm down Fakhar

 

[gazza619]

I can see some wear and tear

 

[BDfanforever]

Boy oh boy, if Pakistan top order can do this much damage, I can imagine the carnage Aus/RSA/Eng about to unleash in World T20.

Their new team is in a whole new level compared to Asian teams beside India of course.

 

[Shafi]

Another over-hyped useless match. No point to waste sleep over this stupidity. SL would have better choice. ICC should stop putting Pakistan and India in same group.

 

[m.shah]

Why did Haris launch where there was a fielder? That was a stupid risk with 0 pay off

I thought there was no fielder but stupid from Haris

 

[imshally81]

6666

A huge one

 

[prash88]

Fakhar gone after 6 just like Sahibzada...

 

[Devadwal]

Big six by Fakhar. Varun is bowling on slot

 

[Ahmed216]

Don’t tell me this is where these plonkers bottle it

They always do. Even in last game against India. Only Fakhar can get us to a big score

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fakhar gone throws his wicket away on a wide one

Game over

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Fakhar goes BIG

 

[gazza619]

Good knock by Fakhar

 

[globetrotter]

Fakhar out..... collapse co.ing

 

[sweep_shot]

Six.

Fakhar is key.

 

[Ahmed216]

There goes our hopes of getting to a good total

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Talat is here

 

[m.shah]

It's Fakhar now

 

[Ali Active]

no need to slow downn boisss go hit 180 to 185

 

[Smbhayi]

Six and out.. fakhar gone, big wicket.. now even 150 will be difficult

 

[hks222]

Send nawaz in.

 

[Major]

I wanted Shaheen to come out at this time.

 

[BDfanforever]

T20 is such a dud format that even if 2 or 3 additional wicket falls, it won't matter.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Tail enders in now for Pakistan

 

[gazza619]

I swear if Talat scores a 20 ball 20 I would do something bad

 

[Energy]

Scratchy but classic Fakhar. In the end a good innings. Anyway, need the others to now throw their bats and this score to 180.

 

[shaz619]

Nawaz should be here at this stage or even Fahim

 

[mango_bite77]

Wrong shot selection all the wickets, otherwise all were below average balls

 

[sweep_shot]

Fakhar is out. Big wicket.

PAK - 126/4 (14.4 overs).

 

[m.shah]

Getting out on loose balls but what is Hussain Talat doing here now.

 

[imshally81]

Hussain in

Run a ball from here to till the end

 

[Devadwal]

Need to take wickets

 

[Pakistani Pace]

No issue, Pak also bat deep. They need to get as close to 200.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Fakhar committed suicide . Even 150 may be tough now

 

[Savak]

Even a veteran like Fakhar who has been playing for almost ten years in the Pakistani system and for the Pakistani team is so limited in his stroke play. He can only Hack or slog on the leg side. No offside game at all. Very easy for Indian spinners and Surya via field placements to plan

 

[shaz619]

You can’t have two trotters at the same time, one of these need to really keep going for it at the minimum

 

[batandballbattle]

and out

 

[m.shah]

Wrong shot selection all the wickets, otherwise all were below average balls

Ase kashren ruez pareshani eman hinz dohay

 

[Energy]

Talat and Agha need to take the next 2 overs and get 16 out of them.

 

[amvbfm]

Why talat???? Only 5 overs remaining. Nawaz should have come

 

[Markhor]

Damn, needed Fakhar to stay until the end.

Need a blinder from someone to get to 180.

 

[adi_62941]

The middle order batsmen arrives

 

[mango_bite77]

180 out of reach. 160-165 probably

 

[Zeshan547]

Really agha and tallat together in this situation , is like pak fans worst nightmare.

 

[big_gamer007]

Pakistan need a quick fire 30-40 innings from someone. Who is gonna step up?

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

These two are gonna kill the innings

Why not Nawaz or Afridi?

 

[Ahmed216]

Chalo yaar 190 ni get 180 at least

 

[amvbfm]

They need to hit out. No point in singles with 6 wickets in hand. 160 will not be enough.
