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

[Major]

Can 147 be defended?

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 146/9 (19 overs).

Final over. Should aim for 160.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

146 all out

Well done Pakistan

This is history books stuff

 

[hassan918]

113-1 to 146 all out. THIS IS DISASTER.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

What was the point refusing so many singles to do that in the end.

 

[Asif321]

Should have atleast batted 20

 

[Smbhayi]

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

Called out.. 147 to win..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

@Bhaag Viru Bhaag You're from Bangladesh?

I am from India but andhbhakhts and chomus who get their tashreefs handed out to them regularly and lack skills to debate with me think I am from either Pakistan or Bangladesh.

 

[Energy]

Agha is a pathetic batsman. One of the worst you'll see really. And he is skipper.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Rinku the hero! Hopefully he will hit the winning runs too just like I had said.

 

[sweep_shot]

All over.

Pakistan are bundled out for 146 in 19.1 overs.

India need 147 to win.

 

[globetrotter]

147 bowled out ....... Pakistan was 113/1 ...dramatic collapse

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even they would not be able to do nothing on this slow pitch.

Don't give excuse dude. You have been doing this against every single team. Oman, UAE, Afghanistan.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

If we had Amir and our older bowling attack I’d be confident we can defend this. But now with these good for nothing Trundlers nah..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Can 147 be defended?

It'll be over in the first 6 overs by Sharma with a 50.

 

[Devadwal]

From 113-1 to 146 all out . That is more like Pakistan.

 

[mominsaigol]

He is likely to be an Indian.

Saxena is not a common last name in Bangladesh. It is an Indian name.

Oh ic. Either way I never cated about race.

As long as posters are respectful thats all I care about

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Can 147 be defended?

No.

India will win with overs to spare.

 

[Buffet]

Why not run for single in last ball, totally brain dead cricketers.

 

[batandballbattle]

all over
India will do this in 16 overs

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Well short

Your fault

 

[Savak]

Even they would not be able to do nothing on this slow pitch.

They would have adjusted and adapted their stroke play given the conditions.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Have to appreciate Farhan's innings, was timing the ball like a dream. Such a contrast to the rest

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Bottled it… stupid brainless hacks.

 

[Major]

Now i get why babat and rizwan would bat the whole innings lol

 

[Asif321]

India was under pressure and Pakistan released it all

 

[jnaveen1980]

113/1 - 146 all out.

 

[Rana]

Can 147 be defended?

No chance

 

[BlackstoneRock]

lol what a score …

 

[Bengaluru]

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

113/1 to 146 ao, Pakistan has truly gifted India a win today.

 

[BDfanforever]

I have lost words. What an unpredictable team Pakistan is. You really don't know what to expect from them. The way Farhan and Fakhar was batting, should've gotten to at least 180+.

 

[ameer219]

Babar Azam case to be back in the team even stronger. And I don't blame them. Brainless brainless batting. Could have finished on at least 170 here.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Fixing?

 

[Major]

Congratulations India on winning the Asia cup

 

[PakFan2010]

Hesson needs to be sacked.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This was such a rubbish bowling unit India fielded today. lol Bumrah/Dube that's it. one part time seamer, one off color seamer

 

[cricfan432]

Don't give excuse dude. You have been doing this against every single team. Oman, UAE, Afghanistan.

Talk about performance outside uae and bangladesh. We were decent in pakistan and west indies, and one innings in nz where we chased 200+ in 15 overs

 

[hks222]

Can 147 be defended?

Need Shaheen to bowl with brain cells

 

[shamaan]

Gambhir does the same too. But both are doing crap job so far.

Told you pointless playing Talat.

 

[mrtaim3]

This has one of the worst performance i have seen! I thought Bangladesh against us the worst ever.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Epic collapse

Fakhar wicket was the turning-point

 

[Markhor]

9-33. Have no words. We find new ways of embarrassing ourselves vs India.

 

[PakFan2010]

Clueless tactics and thick players.

How the hell do Rizwan and Saud Shakeel not make this team?

 

[Asif321]

Won’t blame Harris he was sent to up the ante

Saim expected to fail
Agha and Talat had one job to stay on wicket they couldn’t even do that lol

 

[Dr_Bassim]

I guess in retrospection this is why Fakhar and Farhan batted for 100 runs to get this team to here.

But to be fair Babar and Rizwan weren't doing much different.

If the entire team is dependent on openers then we are back to square one.

Unpopular opinion but this Asia Cup has shown Babar and Rizwan weren't the actual problem.

 

[Mockingbird]

33/9. Only Pakistan can do this.

 

[rickroll]

Abhishek will kill the game in the first few overs. Also with respect to the ball not coming on to the bat, the batters should have realized and changed their game plans rather than slogging.

Mohd Amir in an earlier interview mentioned given his experience in the ILT20, in UAE you have to go hard in the first ten overs because it becomes difficult to hit in the last ten as the wickets slow down significantly. Why has the team management not adapted to these conditions by now?

As you said, the last 10 overs will be difficult. Watch the Indians also collapse.

 

[AZulfi]

Mental capitulation from 113/1 to 146

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

If we had Amir and our older bowling attack I’d be confident we can defend this. But now with these good for nothing Trundlers nah..

Shaheen n Rauf are not trundlers

 

[shaz619]

We got enough on the board to defend, just the PP overs will be even more vital now without the extra cushion, really need to be on the money when we start, need 2-3 wickets in the first 6 at least iA

 

[DeadlyVenom]

We are 40 short, only so much bowlers can do

 

[Josh]

I

India was under pressure and Pakistan released it all

Yep at 113/1 ..India must have expected at least 175 on the board. The pitch is good batting surface but that would have been a challenging score as Pak has decent bowlers. Now it's slightly advantage India

 

[cricfan432]

They would have adjusted and adapted their stroke play given the conditions.

Only thing they’d be able to do is single double, even india struggled in last 10 overs last match against pakistan

 

[shamaan]

Hussain Talat who ?

 

[rhony]

Farhan showed heart. The rest panicked. Fakhar's wicket was the turning point. 160 could have atleast made the game interesting. 3 wickets in Kuldeep's over killed the game for Pak. Even if Abhishek flops, rest of the Indian batting can tame this score. 80-20 in India's favor.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Pakistan scorecard or telephone number?

 

[Nado_]

Pathetic as expected . Pakistan cricket will need a minor miracle to get back to a team who could compete with the best . Fair play Sahibzada played a great knock, the rest are all pathetic maybe except Fakhar. There is no chance to win this match you might aswell all switch off your tvs.

 

[Bengaluru]

This is ending in 12 overs at best

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Perfect for this situation

"chulu bhar paani mein doob maaro".

113-1 to all out. This is below minnows level.

Illegal and unlawful system will always generate garbage. That's what it is.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

@Bhaag Viru Bhaag You're from Bangladesh?

That’s like asking a thief, if he is one.

Not implying that Bangladeshis are thief , just that he is pretending to be an Indian, why would he speak the truth.

 

[GoogleToggle]

Told ya... easy peasy

 

[shamaan]

Slightly lol.

 

[cricfan4lyfe]

utterly pathetic wasted yet another platform set by Farhan

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

What was the point refusing so many singles to do that in the end.

This Team will never compete with top 5 of Cricketing Nations. Except Farhan and to some extent Fakhar are only batters that deserve to stay.

Rest of the batting is pedestrian and minnow level

 

[Mockingbird]

This was such a rubbish bowling unit India fielded today. lol Bumrah/Dube that's it. one part time seamer, one off color seamer

Exactly. Didnt fare too badly ultimately. I felt that the power play was the best chance Pakistan had, but we bowled well there even if no wickets were lost.

 

[Bhaijaan]

It doesnt even hurt anymore

I have made several jokes about Babar and Rizwan alongwith you guys. But high time you have to judge these players in isolation without comparing Babar and Rizwan.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

113-1 to 146 all out. THIS IS DISASTER.

This is typical Pakistan

 

[IAJ]

Never a complete batting innings. Today they got a decent start and then collapsed. Other times they have the usual bad start and then lower order just chips in.

After today’s start they required a sensible approach, could easily have got to 170. Not saying that is a good score but then you at least give yourself a chance.

They are still in it, but they have to bowl and field out of their skins and we need a Pakistani like collapse by India

 

[Nado_]

to get to 147 from where we were after 10 over is disgraceful . Salman Agha you don’t have the bottle for this level mate

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Isn't bhaag indian? Why would he mind this? He's supporting India no?

This is his old pattern. When India isn't playing well for few overs, he acts so normal, and when India has an upperhand over the opposition, he starts tagging me and vent out his frustration. And when India loses the match he is nowhere to be seen.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

As you said, the last 10 overs will be difficult. Watch the Indians also collapse.

Pak batters got out trying hitting sixes. Pitch is not turning square. You can still get 1s and 2s

I guess they were targeting 185+ and didn't reassess even after wickets started tumbling

 

[Major]

Won’t blame Harris he was sent to up the ante

Saim expected to fail
Agha and Talat had one job to stay on wicket they couldn’t even do that lol

Oh for gods sakes stop this haris defence. He is the most garbage player to have ever played.


I called it before asia cup, this will be the last time haris will play for pakistan as he was gonna get exposed

 

[kron]

No man.... he done that celebration in past many times

No he was referring to how all airbases got destroyed. Of Pakistan.

 

[shamaan]

Fakhar Zaman should be held accountable for not having any brain cells.

 

[Asif321]

That is why Farhan and Fakhar were scared to lose early wickets . Lol

 

[shah9425]

Chewing clown can just chew the gum

 

[Savak]

Even Indian batsmen with their power striking abilities have the game awareness and iq to adapt their games when a bowler is bowling well or if the wicket is not conducive to stroke play. Even they will happily score 40 of the last 5 overs and ensure they bat out the full overs.

There is just too much difference in all facets of the game between the two sides.

 

[Major]

Fakhar Zaman should be held accountable for not having any brain cells.

Fakhar? Really fakhar is the issue here?
