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

[pillionrider]

@Major why don't you go to Salman Agha's house and do a dharna or throw some stones for being such a pushover and standing there witless if that's the case. You can't have it both ways

 

[jnaveen1980]

I would take 75 runs in 6 overs from pakistan given the bowling choice they go with today

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Preparing myself for 30/3

I will take 75/3 in 6 overs. I think i am not asking for much afterall these are all PSL superstars. Hope fot the best

 

[Nikhil_cric]

A very brave decision by India to back batting firepower over bowling strength.

Always the better choice in white ball cricket.

Completely support this. Kohli/Shastri era would've played 6 bowlers and batted timidly.

He secretly wants pakistan to lose so that he can bump the 14/4 thread lol. He is secret India's supporter.

May get away against pakistan. Even that is hard. But bigger teams will give belt treatment. INdia has no death bowling at all because of this.

 

[globetrotter]

Rinku Singh is a dangerous batsman, don't go wth his height....he can hit big sixes

I can tell you about games played in dubai and pak record v India, especially with setting a target.

Keep clam and enjoy the game. Cheers

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Who is gonna bowl the second over lol

 

[mominsaigol]

@Major why don't you go to Salman Agha's house and do a dharna or throw some stones for being such a pushover and standing there witless if that's the case. You can't have it both ways

Rather then attacking @Major why don't you go to your Ex's house and ask her why she dumped your sorry @ss for me

 

[jnaveen1980]

Who is gonna bowl the second over lol

Gambhir needs some reality check for pushing his luck by going with just one death bowler who also happens to bowl 3 overs upfront

 

[mango_bite77]

Who is gonna bowl the second over lol

Abhishek Sharma, started as bowling all rounder with SRH

 

[Devadwal]

A very brave decision by India to back batting firepower over bowling strength.

Completely support this. Kohli/Shastri era would've played 6 bowlers and batted timidly.

But who will share the new Ball with Bumrah and Bumrah will only bowl a single over in death so who is other options.

Arshdeep should have played instead Axar patel.

 

[Nado_]

I see Pakistan did not have the guts to play H Nawaz and went with no shots Talat. Coward approach .

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abhishek Sharma, started as bowling all rounder with SRH

But inside power play that is way way risky. Too many open spaces.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

May get away against pakistan. Even that is hard. But bigger teams will give belt treatment. INdia has no death bowling at all because of this.

Doesn't matter. There is no allrounder replacement for Hardik.

It was about either beefing up the batting or bowling and they've gone with the aggressive/braver choice.

I prefer this decision.

 

[Major]

Who else saw thw gaye pride indians their?

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Abhishek Sharma, started as bowling all rounder with SRH

He is a spinner.

 

[mango_bite77]

I find it weird how suwar made decision even before it was checked what landed on the toss

Same here, I don't know how he knew, probably coin was visible and he saw before match referee could go and check.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Doesn't matter. There is no allrounder replacement for Hardik.

I prefer this decision.

Aggressive choice would be going with Arshdeep.

 

[mango_bite77]

Az gacxi bayii beizzati

Yi talat kath khatre chu teams manz. Mandchaew yimov

 

[prash88]

Same surface as earlier 2 India-Pakistan games...

 

[Nikhil_cric]

But who will share the new Ball with Bumrah and Bumrah will only bowl a single over in death so who is other options.

Arshdeep should have played instead Axar patel.

They might just back Axar or Dube to bowl with Boom. Honestly, it doesn't matter. Back batting depth and firepower in white ball cricket

Batting until #8 should never be compromised.

 

[Major]

Im kind of scared of rinku singh here

 

[Ali Active]

India are bowler short

 

[mango_bite77]

But inside power play that is way way risky. Too many open spaces.

Pak batters brother. You dont to worry about them. They have ability to hole out with 30 meters.

 

[BlackstoneRock]

lol ind side… pak batting first they wanted it they got it … pak will win this

 

[gazza619]

I would take 175 considering it is the final. If India chases that they would deserve a win anyway.

Pakistan could collapse badly should they aim too high.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Without being biased and making a reasoned judgement.

I think 170 here will put Indian batting under pressure. Anything under that will require a miraculous bowling performance to restrict India in the chase.

 

[MP2011]

Same here, I don't know how he knew, probably coin was visible and he saw before match referee could go and check.

Trust a Pakistani to indulge in conspiracy theories out of thin air

 

[sweep_shot]

So, 4 overs need to be bowled by Dube, Abhishek, and Tilak. Pakistan can target these 4 overs I guess.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Rinku Singh is a dangerous batsman, don't go wth his height....he can hit big sixes

Nah Pandya is the boss Rinku is a useless midget.

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Pak should be aggressive against dube and hit him out of his spell .. bumrah has been gumrah this series… pak can’t miss this opportunity .. ind can’t get pak 3 times in the same tourney

 

[cricketfan24]

If we batting first we definitely lost this 1

 

[RidiculousMan]

Im kind of scared of rinku singh here

He's the man. He has the ability to repeat Mathew Wade against Shaheen and Rauf

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

lol ind side… pak batting first they wanted it they got it … pak will win this

G sir... Okay

 

[Major]

Indians probably burn when they hear our national anthem, as it was country Quaid carved it out and these guys couldnt do anything

 

[GLORY OF '92]

He's the man. He has the ability to repeat Mathew Wade against Shaheen and Rauf

No he doesn't

 

[Asif321]

Saim is padded so they still trust him at 3

 

[RidiculousMan]

So, 4 overs need to be bowled by Dube, Abhishek, and Tilak. Pakistan can target these 4 overs I guess.

I'm interested to see who India opens with.

Safe choice is Dube but can they risk with a spinner?

 

[Devadwal]

They might just back Axar or Dube to bowl with Boom. Honestly, it doesn't matter. Back batting depth and firepower in white ball cricket

Batting until #8 should never be compromised.

But if Pakistan score over 190+ , we will be in some trouble.

 

[RidiculousMan]

No he doesn't

Guess we'll know tonight.

 

[shamaan]

Let's get ready to rumble

 

[Devadwal]

I'm interested to see who India opens with.

Safe choice is Dube but can they risk with a spinner?

Varun

 

[sweep_shot]

I'm interested to see who India opens with.

Safe choice is Dube but can they risk with a spinner?

Dube and Bumrah will open maybe. Let's see.

 

[pillionrider]

He secretly wants pakistan to lose so that he can bump the 14/4 thread lol. He is secret India's supporter.

I know for sure that in a Pak vs Afg game, he roots for Afg. He might not be so open about it nowadays. I have utter contempt for this fake Pak patriot.

 

[Ball Blazer]

Match referee: Richie Richardson

 

[pillionrider]

Rather then attacking @Major why don't you go to your Ex's house and ask her why she dumped your sorry @ss for me

Now I know for sure that since the age you were able to use a keyboard, you haven't touched a woman

 

[globetrotter]

How Saim in Pakistan team after so much failures? There is no other batsman in their squad

 

[Hellion]

Let's go evil India. #ForEvil #EvilNeverDies

 

[jnaveen1980]

I'm interested to see who India opens with.

Safe choice is Dube but can they risk with a spinner?

Dube is not safe choice lol All his career in IPL he has bowled 20 overs here and there. MSD never used him anywhere except on rare occasions.

 

[Hikaru]

Pakistani players should enjoy this spotlight, doesn't come very often. This is closest they will ever get to the IPL experience.

 

[adi_62941]

Fakhar tullar will choke again

 

[RidiculousMan]

I would not send Saim at 3.

It's a big Final. Saim has been scoring ducks. A wicket early means you'll be sending in someone on a sitting duck which would result in 2 quick wickets for Pakistan. Unnecessary pressure

 

[jnaveen1980]

I know for sure that in a Pak vs Afg game, he roots for Afg. He might not be so open about it nowadays. I have utter contempt for this fake Pak patriot.

He talks about everything except match in match threads.

 

[Devadwal]

Dube is bowling first over

 

[BlackstoneRock]

lol dube to ball first over… dream start for pak

 

[mominsaigol]

Now I know for sure that since the age you were able to use a keyboard, you haven't touched a woman

Your ex would disagree.

 

[RahulBose]

Pak should be aggressive against dube and hit him out of his spell .. bumrah has been gumrah this series… pak can’t miss this opportunity .. ind can’t get pak 3 times in the same tourney

And if they do...

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Dube opening what the eff?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Dube is not safe choice lol All his career in IPL he has bowled 20 overs here and there. MSD never used him anywhere except on rare occasions.

He has FC record to back his bowling with new ball.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India is going to be chasing 220 today something says due to stupid combo

 

[Markhor]

Not sure why the statements about aggressive cricket yet select Hussain Talat over Hassan Nawaz who has a career SR of 158 ?

If it's a match-up thing in wanting a lefty against India's wrist spinners, we have other LHBs we could use in the middle-order.

Meanwhile India have a host of big hitters who can single handledly win a game. Hopefully this doesn't come back to cost us.

 

[SportsWarrior]

Best of luck to both teams. Unfortunately I will be missing watching most of the game. I feel India have a poorly balanced squad. They should have gone for arshadeep. We will if that will come back to bite them in back.

Have a feeling India will lose this match anyway. So hopefully not missing much

 

[Hikaru]

What a lollipop first up. If they don't hit Dube, they won't hit anyone.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Opening bowling with Dube in a final.

Gambhir is a clown.

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Pitch looks a belter … got to score 200

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Cant even play Dube

 

[SportsWarrior]

Dube is not safe choice lol All his career in IPL he has bowled 20 overs here and there. MSD never used him anywhere except on rare occasions.

Yeah Dube is poor selection. Pak should aim to optimizing against him. He doesn’t bowl even in Chennai where it might help his slow bowling

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Opening bowling with Dube in a final.

Gambhir is a clown.

Best way to get an over done. They won't hit straight away will be too nervous.

 

[Ball Blazer]

good start from dube

 

[BlackstoneRock]

And if they do...

Well played to them

 

[jnaveen1980]

Opening bowling with Dube in a final.

Gambhir is a clown.

Hall of shame coaching moment

 

[Hikaru]

4 dots by Dube

 

[mango_bite77]

maiden ??

 

[sweep_shot]

This type of pitch suits medium bowlers like Dube.

Slow bowlers do well here.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

First three balls are dot balls @Rana

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Dube’s lenght not bad with his gentle outswingers

 

[Champ_Pal]

Pitch looks a belter … got to score 200

170 will be enough in a final.
