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

[castortroy]

You just know India will be 50 of 6 over when they bat

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

You’ve just hit a boundary, why not aim for a single and end the over well?!

 

[Major]

Farhan is just pure muscle

 

[CricVet]

Game over. India won the toss

...use it...will ease your pain

 

[Hikaru]

Shivam Hazlewood. These are actually decent lines and variations.

 

[Hawkeye]

Some juicy balls wasted by Farhack in first 2 overs

He just blindly swings to leg side with no timing.

 

[topspin]

Did they shake hands?

 

[mominsaigol]

With his feet stuck on leg stump, dont see him making >30

Watch and learn

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wonderful start

9 dot balls in 2 overs!

Atleast it wasn't 12

 

[JaDed]

No Hardik, dayum big loss.. Rinku hasnt played a single game lol

 

[Devadwal]

Good start for pakistan

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Pakistan should get atleast two boundaries in this over.

 

[sweep_shot]

Dube is bowling his 2nd over.

Will India bowl him out (4 overs in a row)?

 

[globetrotter]

Pakistan will b 30/2 in power play

 

[Shafi]

Dube is not any better than Fahim but our batsmen struggle against him.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They're even struggling against 80mph Dube.

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Dube is not that bad his lengths are actually better and he has outswingers and has decent slower balls .. still you got to put him under pressure

 

[gazza619]

Fakhar should stop charging down. Too risky. He needs to be there against spin.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

I don’t care if this guy scores today or not, but Farhan is a hack.

 

[globetrotter]

Pakistan opener are just lucky

 

[BlackstoneRock]

No Hardik, dayum big loss.. Rinku hasnt played a single game lol

Love Rinku gun fielder and a very good finisher

 

[mango_bite77]

Watch and learn

Happy to prove myself wrong

 

[Boyka]

What’s the pitch looking like? Flat?

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Farhan is waiting for spin maybe.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Another dot

Shaaba shaaba lagay raho aise hi

 

[prash88]

Dube bowled better than Bumrah so far...

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Well clearly looks like Farhan isn’t waiting around today… looking to swing hard to every delivery

 

[hks222]

Lallo bowler like doobe

 

[mominsaigol]

Happy to prove myself wrong

It's his day.

 

[saabir]

Pakistan wasting the power play..this is the best time to bat. Feeling the pressure of final

 

[globetrotter]

If Pandya bowled, Pakistan would have on fire

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 runs

 

[Ahmed216]

What’s the pitch looking like? Flat?

Can't tell when the batsmen are hardly making any attempt to score

 

[BlackstoneRock]

What is this batting an against dube .. is he going to bowl 3 in pp?

 

[big_gamer007]

130 will be a winning total here in finals.
Pakistan are on track to reach 140-150.
This is Pakistan’s game to lose from here on in.

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 19/0 (3 overs).

Dube has kept it tight --> 2-0-12-0.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Malcolm Dube is extremely hard to hit

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

...use it...will ease your pain

Enjoying the show then? Game was lost before a ball was bowled...

 

[hks222]

Wicket is good.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Poor start from Pakistan as usual. Literally can't even score runs against Dube and the PP score they have so far is something Indian batters will get in one over.

 

[globetrotter]

Dubey bowled superbly better than Pandya

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Amazing spell by Dubey.

He should bowl 2 before powerplay too.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

4 good start to the over

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Can't tell when the batsmen are hardly making any attempt to score

Pitch is good for batting they just not batting well

 

[Hawkeye]

Farhan is costing us big time. Needs to get out

Almost cost us the match - if he cannot make 80 off 30 balls it is over.

 

[mominsaigol]

Farhan is waiting for spin maybe.

Stats and data and my own eyesight shows that he plays pace better then spin?

So why would he logically wait for spin?

 

[Devadwal]

No wickets in first 3 over. That's great start for pakistan

 

[Asif321]

Slow but good not lost wicket

 

[saabir]

Without loosing wickets India would have score 35 in first 3 overs

 

[hassan918]

Dube is bowling according to the plan and within his limits.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Amazing spell by Dubey.

He should bowl 2 before powerplay too.

Should bowl his 4 overs on the trott

 

[pillionrider]

Pak batsmen intimidated by this menacing beast. Who won't be

 

[Devadwal]

Put a midwicket fielder for Farhan

 

[Hikaru]

Bumrah has been terrible this Asia Cup.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Farhan throwing the kitchen sink.

 

[big_gamer007]

Farhan got bumrahs number, he is making him look like 90s trundlers

 

[Deewana Mastana]

6 This time

Farhan smoked that one off Bumrah

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Poor ball from
Bumrah to farhan.. he clears his leg that’s his stance should stick to outswingers

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

4 and a 6 by Farhan

 

[cricketfan24]

Almost cost us the match - if he cannot make 80 off 30 balls it is over.

He's useless if can't make a century off 6 balls

 

[chinaman00]

Farhan has really negated the much hyped Bumrah. He’s playing him at ease, both this match and the previous one.

 

[Devadwal]

Bumrah is bowling too fulll . Already gave 10 runs

 

[Nasty Naz]

Finally a six. Hope this ends in a big over.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six.

Farhan is cutting loose.

 

[gazza619]

Stupid umpire needs to use brain and stop sending everything to 3rd umpire

 

[cricketfan24]

Atleast we dont get to see rizwan and babar playing like a snail

 

[JaDed]

Love Rinku gun fielder and a very good finisher

Yeah but combination change for final always comes back to haunt.. in this case it was not needed

 

[big_gamer007]

Congratulations to all Pakistani fans for winning the asia cup.

 

[mango_bite77]

Stupid umpire needs to use brain and stop sending everything to 3rd umpire

No risk

 

[Asif321]

Farhan has owned bumrah this Asia cup

 

[gazza619]

No risk

Time wasting

 

[BlackstoneRock]

decent start now for Pak

 

[globetrotter]

What bumrah doing, not a great bowling

 

[mominsaigol]

As long as wickets dont fall, a high score is always achieved.

The indian spin choke will decide this game.

 

[Ahmed216]

Need one more boundary in this over

 

[mango_bite77]

How is Farhan able to hit Bumrah out of all the international legends ?

Baffling to be honest

 

[gazza619]

Farhan has owned bumrah this Asia cup

Mubrook on 25k posts

 

[sweep_shot]

Dube is bowling according to the plan and within his limits.

Yes. He is the weakest link. Kept it tight so far.

2-0-12-0.

As a matter of fact, Dube bowled better than Bumrah. LOL.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Bumrah gettin Smacked HAHAHA

 

[saabir]

Farhan in front of Bumrah looks real deal. On other bowlers he struggle
