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

[Deewana Mastana]

Pak need 2 quick wickets somehow now

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Kya baat hai Talat. The gift that keeps on giving

@Rana

 

[mango_bite77]

That's when happens when u bring all time looser in team. Dont know what are his credentials to get selected

 

[Asif321]

Trust Saim with ball more than bat

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Just need 6 an over for next 5-6 overs without losing any wicket and we should be back on track.

He is batting at 93 strike rate. Don't think you can chase big in the last 4-5 overs on this pitch. You've got to keep rotating.

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 58/3 (10 overs).

89 to win from 60 balls.

Drinks break.

 

[Major]

Looks like a quota player.

Which state is @Devadwal from?

 

[BlackstoneRock]

when will manjrekar retire …

 

[Asif321]

89 from 60 - should be easy if Pakistan doesn’t get couple of wickets quick . Still fuming at Talat

 

[Devadwal]

58/3 in 10 overs. Tilak need to play sole shots now

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Talat dropped the match.

 

[hks222]

Need to br super discliplined.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Saim absolute lollypop bowler why he bowling, you bring him into action he allows opposition to gain advantage.

 

[psyoptica]

Pakistan deserves to lose this with this team.

 

[Nasty Naz]

9 runs an over in the last 10 for India to win.

Really feels like Pakistan needs another wicket soon to ensure pressure stays on and the run rate continues to climb.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

when will manjrekar retire …

Evergreen. Nice person

 

[big_gamer007]

He is batting at 93 strike rate. Don't think you can chase big in the last 4-5 overs on this pitch. You've got to keep rotating.

Can’t blame him when we lost 3 quick wickets, if he took any risk match would have been over. He and Sanju just need to stay there till 16th over and that’s our best chance to win.

 

[hks222]

Talat dropped the match.

We need to get couple of wickets asap.

Match isn't done yet.

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

that dropped catch I’m still fuming

 

[Nikhil_cric]

9 RPO chase. They have to start accelerating a bit now itself.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Hussain Talat

 

[BDfanforever]

This T20 version of Asia Cup has been great and competitive overall. I hope in the future BD/Afg provide competition to IND/PAK/SRL.

 

[MP2011]

As per Cricinfo, Pakistan's chances to win this game are at 61%

They are favorites

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Which state is @Devadwal from?

Rajasthan

 

[mominsaigol]

Which state is @Devadwal from?

Jaipur most likely.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

India dropped about 12 catches against Pakistan last time and still one. Yeh dropped cstch is a big blow, but we have 60 balls to make 7 more chances.

 

[BlackstoneRock]

4 lefties to follow for Ind

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

if talat had taken the catch it would have been game on .. Right now India firm favorites to win it

 

[gazza619]

Axar at 8. That is a long batting line up

 

[Asif321]

Looks like a quota player.

Lahori quota is in full swing since Naqvi joined

 

[Major]

Stage is set for India to chase this down after a shaky start.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Can’t blame him when we lost 3 quick wickets, if he took any risk match would have been over. He and Sanju just need to stay there till 16th over and that’s our best chance to win.

If he can't score risk free at 120-125 strike rate at least , he becomes a bit of a liability

 

[Devadwal]

Sign of some dew which can negate slowness of surface

 

[rhony]

We got the final we all deserved. What a game so.far. Pakistan owned the first 10 overs in both innings. Now its upto 2 Indian batters that want to establish their place in the team. Sanju Samson if he can nail this, would have answered every question posed if he takes this home. Has been lucky so far with the drop too. Let's see

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I missed Haris over was he threatening?

 

[Energy]

Hussain Talat

He is giving Rahat Ali vibes when dropping Watson.

Slappable face.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Imagine if Pakistan didn't collapse. What a beat down we were staring at

 

[PakPremi]

Talat dropped the match.

Pak always have one person dropping the match in a crucial game.

 

[Devadwal]

9 RPO chase. They have to start accelerating a bit now itself.

Need to hit a boundary in every over without too kuch risk

 

[mrtaim3]

Both indian and pak fans are cursing their team atm. It means its still 50-50

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Really missing kohli...

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

it has not been one sided final after all

 

[mango_bite77]

Merit captains make smart moves, when guy has not scored runs in all the matches, u don't keep him in key positions in field

 

[Devadwal]

Imagine if Pakistan didn't collapse. What a beat down we were staring at

Different situation. 140s score sometime become tricky

 

[Asif321]

if talat had taken the catch it would have been game on .. Right now India firm favorites to win it

We can never do anything perfect

 

[batandballbattle]

they have settled now, plain sailing from here
at least we had out brief period of pressure though

 

[Deewana Mastana]

6 Verma the danger man

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Shot man

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Tilak.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

666 by Tilak

 

[MP2011]

Indian batsmen gotta show some more urgency now

 

[Asif321]

Game over !

 

[mango_bite77]

Abrar is overrated have been saying it from beginning, delusional fans hype him unnecessarily

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Poor talat hope this is his last t20 international. Standard is too low

 

[Devadwal]

India has stabilized the innings with a crucial 35-run partnership, keeping them in the chase. . need to hit some boundaries now.

 

[chinaman00]

Really missing kohli...

Pakistan is not.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Game gone imo

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan are looking flat intensity has dropped that they had in the first 6 overs

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I think we need to try Talat our spinners are unthreatening

 

[imshally81]

Talat should bowl too

 

[MP2011]

Need to score @ 8 rpo for next 4-5 overs at least

 

[mango_bite77]

Poor talat hope this is his last t20 international. Standard is too low

Forget him, wanna shoot the person who bought him. Deserves to be exiled from Pakistan

 

[chinaman00]

Why isn’t Agha bowing? He’s an allrounder, right? Why hide?

 

[big_gamer007]

If he can't score risk free at 120-125 strike rate at least , he becomes a bit of a liability

Is this your coping mechanism/ reverse jinx kind of talk?
I do the same so I get it.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Tilak plays spin easily

 

[Asif321]

That talat drop catch was final nail in coffin

 

[Hellion]

Good over. Rise evil India, rise

 

[Mainul]

It is very much India's game to loos. 3 specialist batsman are in dug out . I don't see any hope for Pakistan

 

[hks222]

Abrar LALLU

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Pakistan is not.

He was king of run chase without any second opinion. Try to think with only cricket mind.

 

[sweep_shot]

11 off the over.

IND - 69/3 (11 overs).

78 to win from 9 overs.

 

[oatmeal]

Pakistan isn't able to build up pressure

 

[Nasty Naz]

Might need to bring in Rauf and see if he can give them a breakthrough. India is playing the spinners quite easily.

 

[sweep_shot]

India need 2 big overs. Pakistan need 2 tight overs.

It is 50-50 now.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

We are over reliant on Saim here. This could be disastrous over

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Saim needs to get rid of that unibrow might change his game too

 

[PakistanMeriJaan]

Why isn’t Talat bowling? Or was he selected to score a duck and drop a catch? Why is Saim bowling? Fs.

 

[Pakistani Pace]

Where is Mr AllRounder?

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Coward captain never bowls himself

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Crap bowl but bach gya Saim
