India (168/6) defeat Bangladesh (127) by 41 runs to advance to the final of Asia Cup 2025

[Cryin Out Loud]

Next out will be Saif

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

What's up with all these catch drops with Indian side..what is happening?

Side effects of not shaking hands with Pakistani players.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Proven minnows Lol, all are swinging the bat blindly. Saif survives only because he got dropped twice.

 

[sweep_shot]

This has been a good practice game. Need to win the game tomorrow.

If they make it to final, they can hopefully deal with Abhishek and India in the final with a full team.

Remember BD rested 4 of their main players today. BD did well with a depleted side.

 

[jnaveen1980]

So Chasing is not easy as everyone says. If oNly SL had played Theekshana against BD they would have won it against this line up.

 

[saabir]

8 down BD crumbling against..poor game awareness shown by most batters. Guy at the other end playing a fighting knock all they needed to do give him maximum strike

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Another one dropped

 

[JaDed]

Saif didn't get the support he needed unfortunately.

He got all the support from Indian fielders and Axar

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Hahahah another drop

 

[JaDed]

Another one dropped

4th of the day for Saif lmaoo

 

[Rajdeep]

Shameless catching

 

[pillionrider]

Any good team would have punished India but these are middle tier teams ..they still can't defeat India being such unprofessional in the field

We have no business winning this today. A few good overs but pretty bad otherwise, barring the openers.

 

[mominsaigol]

Why is everyone surprised? We all knew india would win?

Saif is a good talent though

 

[castortroy]

Only teams capable of beating India in this format at England and Australia. Even then, in these conditions, it would be very tough.

 

[Devadwal]

What a pathetic fielding and batting by us. I'm not happy at all.

 

[sweep_shot]

Saif has been dropped again. Haha!

What's going on?

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Who's winning ?

Bangla Tigers own the hearts of Pakistani fans, just like Oman did.

 

[GlobalCric]

Seems like Saif has paid Indians to drop him...3rd time..common man..

 

[saabir]

Another drop. Pakistan catching and fielding have been the top notch in this tournament . Probably the only area where they are better than India so far

 

[Ahmed216]

India clearly the best team in the world in spin friendly conditions.

 

[sweep_shot]

Has Saif secured an IPL contract?

Players who do well against India often get IPL contracts.

 

[JaDed]

Seems like Saif has paid Indians to drop him...3rd time..common man..

4th.. Axar dropped a tough one too

 

[hur rizvi]

Even if India wanna lose they still can’t. They are supermen of cricket

 

[Local.Dada]

India giving Saif confidence before the big game vs Pak

 

[JaDed]

Finally lmaoo, irrespective good knock he made the best out of what he got

 

[mominsaigol]

India giving Saif confidence before the big game vs Pak

Bangladesh vs Pakistan is Saif or bust. Literally

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh vs Pakistan is Saif or bust. Literally

BD have Tanzid, Jaker, Shamim, Tawhid etc. They all have played match-winning knocks in recent times.

Tawhid played a good innings against SL.

 

[Devadwal]

Saif has been dropped again. Haha!

What's going on?

Fir Bangladesh and Pakistan we have dropped 5 catches yet minnow couldn't beat india. This is your team's standard .

We played back to back pathetic game yet won with ease .

 

[sweep_shot]

Saif is out finally.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Pakistan gets Saif out early BD will be all out for 100 runs

 

[sweep_shot]

Saif is out finally.

Almost another drop. Haha.

 

[Josh]

Finally lmaoo, irrespective good knock he made the best out of what he got

The ball also bounced out of his hands lol he was able to hold it second time

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

BD promised only to flake out totally

 

[Local.Dada]

Bangladesh vs Pakistan is Saif or bust. Literally

Respectfully, 140-160 is Bangladesh’s aukaat in T20 against teams with good bowling line ups. While Pak might be above average in the overall scheme of things, their bowling is still very good and will be good enough for Bangladesh. If Pak bat first and get to 170-180, curtains for Bangladesh.

 

[sweep_shot]

I have almost reached 51,000 posts thanks to this Asia Cup.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even with all the drops it is bit of a thrashing. I am disappointed with India's experiments. I don't care about this Asia cup. If you want to win the world cup again you need to have a stable strategy

 

[mominsaigol]

@mominsaigol - you repeated this many times, so let me clarify. Working for Indian Railways is actually a big thing. It is a govt job and one of the most respected jobs in India. The employees gets free housing quarter, rail travel, pension whole life etc etc. People in India queue up to get a job in Indian railways. You may live in Australia but not sure why are you mocking anyone working in Indian railways. How clueless.

Wanna know what's a big thing? Working at Google, Microsoft, Apple etc etc which India has access to. Or working for any normal company.

People in India queue up to get a job in Indian railways

Ya we call em brokies.

 

[Devadwal]

Despite big win , I'm very angry. This is not how World number 1 team Play.

 

[saabir]

Bumrah got him finally..good lucky fighting knock by Saif.. bumrah not in his best form in his tournament. Lots of sixes were hit on his bowling which is quite rare.. probably age catching him he is 31 which is the age where fast bowlers decline starts but he is genius and good enough to play another 3-5 years

 

[Local.Dada]

India has won the last 3 games vs Oman, Pak and Bangla on autopilot mode lol. Hope it doesn’t come to bite us in the final. Only the first game we looked like the bulldozing team we were supposed to be.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Oman was 134/1 in 15 overs against India lol They are the best side against India.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Expecting a new thread on Axar Patel's catch of Saif Hasan

 

[RyanRyan10]

I stopped reporting his posts or tagging mods, it's pointless. He gets too long a rope for some reason.

They themselves enjoy it . Have seen them reacting on such posts.

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

I have almost reached 51,000 posts thanks to this Asia Cup.

Hope Bangladesh also reaches 170 this match and may you get some relief

These conditions are slower. Ball sits up for batsmen. Makes a lot of batsmen look better than they are

 

[sweep_shot]

Why do India always play last?

Even in group stage, India played last. LOL.

I guess they want to ensure India know what to do in case India are in trouble.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

On the game itself, hard luck BD. Saif played a blinder

 

[Devadwal]

Even with all the drops it is bit of a thrashing. I am disappointed with India's experiments. I don't care about this Asia cup. If you want to win the world cup again you need to have a stable strategy

Hardik should not comes for batting before 16 overs. Too many experiences instead Play settled combo

 

[RyanRyan10]

Yeah you are not evil who wish death on muslims all over the world.

Most of the indian hindus are evil people including you and many other Indian hindus on this forum.
Get out of here.

Pakistan Army killed 36 Pashtuns 2 days ago in Tirah Valley, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to fulfill the wish of the Indian Hindus?

India have been very poor in the tournament. Just that the other teams are not good enough to exploit it. I wouldn't be surprised if India goes to final and goes kaput. Batting very poor, except Abhishek, no on gives any confidence. Bumrah seems to be out of form, others seems to be just going through the motion, awful fielding etc. Honestly this is embarrassing. got to get rid of Surya, Tilak and may be even Samson if we are not playing him in the top order.

 

[pillionrider]

Wanna know what's a big thing? Working at Google, Microsoft, Apple etc etc which India has access to. Or working for any normal company.

You work at none of them. Don't know why you're commenting on other people's jobs.

Are you in between jobs? Or unemployed maybe. Which is fine. But you sound like how someone angsty about landing a job would be

 

[Justcrazy]

India batting is very good , but bowling is accurate Indian bowlers are masters of choking opposition in middle overs.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

* Ashes to Ashes
* dust to dust
* If our batting dont get ya
*Our bowling must
* but say i just
* our bionic fielding - has turned to rust!

 

[sweep_shot]

Final over.

BD - 126/9 (19 overs).

 

[sweep_shot]

5 dropped catches from India today.

India is not forcing others not to improve themselves.

 

[jnaveen1980]

DEven if you win dropping catches are not laughable matter.

 

[sweep_shot]

All over.

India win by 41 runs.

They are officially in the final. SL are officially out.

Tomorrow's BD-Pakistan game is a knockout game. NRR doesn't matter. Winner take all.

 

[JaDed]

Damn Sky and Gauti ..

 

[Justcrazy]

To beat India , you have to execute your plans properly , you need to be able to play Indian bowlers with precision

 

[Devadwal]

India batting is very good , but bowling is accurate Indian bowlers are masters of choking opposition in middle overs.

apart from openers rest of batters played very poor. India should have scored over 200 as we were 112/2 in 11 overs.

Catching is club level. At no point india were losing this match but we played very pathetic cricket in back to back games.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Bangladesh bowled out despite chasing and India dropping at least 5 catches.

That is a humungous difference.

Commiserations to all BD fans and all those who were desperately waiting for India to lose.

Long may the wait continue

 

[JaDed]

I can guarantee this is an indian troll, lol. Its pretty obvious. The level of trolls have really fallen low, no subtlety at all.

He is not a , he is a rabid hater , he has cursed my mother and multiples ids of his has been banned, yet mods keep letting him go.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Poor fielding but got away with the win.

Middle order batting and fielding needs to improve. Looks like ind vs pak finals on cards now

 

[jnaveen1980]

18th loss out of 19 matches against India? don't remember the number who counts.

 

[saabir]

Most of the indian hindus are evil almost 95 percent
I Live amongst them my family has suffered due to them.
Indian hindus are not good people. They will always be enemies of muslims.

Bhai kya masla hua hain inse ?? Cricket enjoy kar yaar

 

[Rajdeep]

5 dropped catches from India today.

Bit like how 6 Indian planes went down

 

[jnaveen1980]

Dube's streak continues !!

 

[Local.Dada]

India has been shabby. Drop catches, Bumrah not accurate as usual. Some teams are taking advantage like Pak, Oman or even Bangla today but not able to cash in.

If India plays with full capacity, not sure it will be that easy.

 

[Rana]

Pakistan should play 2 spinners tomorrow

But dropping catches is unforced errors. That shouldn't happen. If that happens against Australia, England, NZ they will punish us very badly.

Wicket gets difficult to bat on in the later part of the inning.. so i think India posted a very good total here.. its more than a par score

They not cashing in because for India someone suddenly performs , its like a team , not dependant on individuals.

 

[Sachin fan]

These grounds are notorious for having a "ring of fire" where fielders lose sight of balls which go high.

 

[jnaveen1980]

But slotting players randomly in the batting order every match breaks the rhythm in the long run. ROle clarity will be muddled

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

We never lost a match with Dube playing i guess

 

[sweep_shot]

I love this Dubai ground. Huge ground and reasonable pitch.

160-170 is a good total here. Just what I want to see.

 

[GlobalCric]

India may set the record for maximum number of drop catches in the tournament. Does anyone have any data on this stat?

I think they are already at 10 dropped catches in this Asia cup.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Pakistan should play 2 spinners tomorrow

Ohh… I just realized Bangladesh are playing back to back matches.

 

[Local.Dada]

No worries Bangla bros. Full sapot tommorow.
