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

[Nikhil_cric]

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

It's a chasing pitch. Gets easier in the 2nd innings.

 

[RyanRyan10]

No worries Bangla bros. Full sapot tommorow.

then they will definitely lose

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

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.

i think it is 12. Gee whiz!!

 

[Devadwal]

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

Still we played very poor cricket. Sky is behaving like an idiots with changing and chopping entire batting combination.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan should play 2 spinners tomorrow

Don't they have 3 spinners already? Saim, M Nawaz, and Abrar. Even Agha can bowl spin.

Would be interesting to see if they also play Sufiyan.

 

[JaDed]

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

That’s why the rested probably, kinda unfair schedule to them.. but it could had been Lanka too

 

[BreadPakoda]

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.

Losing by 41 runs in a T20 is a job well done?

 

[BreadPakoda]

Bangladesh hardly showed any fight. Looks like it’s going to be an India-Pakistan finals.

 

[sweep_shot]

Losing by 41 runs in a T20 is a job well done?

Where did I say job well done?

I said it was like a practice game.

BD rested 4 of their main players in case you didn't know. They didn't field Taskin, Litton, and Mahedi.

I think focus was on the game tomorrow due to having back to back games.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Looking @ the dropped catches, I feel a lot of them - our guys loose them on the way down, its the last few metres where i feel either our guys are close enought to catch them or misjudge the speed at which the ball is coming down.
Again am no fielding expert, but just my 5c - hopefully before friday's game vs SL, we sort this out.

Bhai spinner

Not part timer

They should play Sufyan too.

 

[JaDed]

Some of my best memories are from Railway travel from Chennai to Delhi in summers.. I have done all the ones, nowadays no one has time for them.

Fun goes when affordability comes, I have travelled in non-ac during summers , still amazing time.

Dayum got nostalgic..

 

[Ahmed216]

Why Liton did not play today?

 

[BreadPakoda]

You said BD did well. Do I need to quote you again? Did well = well done. Same words, just different structure.

Spot on. Chewing bubble gum is not suitable for sky. Ek dam Chapri lagta hai

[BreadPakoda]

Why Liton did not play today?

He’s injured

 

[JaDed]

Why Liton did not play today?

I definitely think its because they think they have a better chance tomorrow, they rested 4 players

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bangladesh players are pretty bad againts wrist spinners. They get stuck on the crease not knonwing what to do. Been the case since Shahid Afridi days.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bhai spinner

Not part timer

I see.

I have a feeling they may play Sufiyan. Spinners are having a good time here.

Anyway, toss should be very important. Chasing side may win it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Litton das out with side strain. He is the captain. He was not going to miss but for the injury.

 

[Rana]

Na not convinced with BD chasing.

They don’t seem to have a proper method. Seems like the SL chase was a fluke

Now it explains why he used that language during India vs Pakistan match, it's simply how he talks with his fellow workers selling chips, bananas, and water bottles on the train, as well as with his family at home. A dehati of the highest order.

 

[JaDed]

Makes sense! Wonder if he ll play tomorrow, coz it was an easy win in the end for Ind today

 

[mominsaigol]

So, you are attributing the job based on a person’s posts… wow. Brilliant. Massive Respect.

Attitubuting it based of his English communication skills, and his manners.

It screams lower class.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

injured

 

[sweep_shot]

BD are likely to field their full-strength side tomorrow. Litton, Taskin, Mahedi, and even Shoriful may return.

They have no choice. If they lose, they go home.

There wasn't much at stake in today's game. It was like a warmup before tomorrow's game.

 

[Robbie]

Full support to my Bengali bros tomorrow... They played well today. Indian middle order is bakwaas

 

[mominsaigol]

the fact that you say you dont have a choice at uni and were FORCED is more a reflection of your attitude which prejudices your posts which is on ample display here.
I do not defend dewad wal or any one, rather react to clowns like you who have an exagerrated view of their own importance throwing gyan around on any topic like confetti at a celebration. A persons intellect or by extension character is not solely defined by his/her job and go easy on the whole status dude , indians overseas have any day achieved much more than you can even dream but you cannot recognize - its the blinkers on ya pysche, cannot remove those.
to be continued.

Indians overseas like the ceo of google has achieved more sure. I dont deny that.

Doesn't mean you or he has, nor that you will ever lol. And btw, their not really indian citizens anymore.

This so called dil to hindustan nonsense should stop.

You can't abandon your country, wipe out citizenship status and voting rights and call yourself a so called proud Indian by default.

 

[TheRock]

Tonight, BD had the advantage of 1) Winning the toss 2) Chasing in DewBai under lights. 3) India dropping 5 regulation catches. 4) Chasing a below par total. Yet capitulated by 40+ run margin

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Class doesn't come from education or how much one earns. Class comes from the kind of person one is.

And making fun of hard working people just because they earn less is the opposite of class.

 

[rhony]

If India bat first in the final on a similar pitch against Pakistan, the game could be very tight. India should stop playing around with the batting order, stop the arrogance and use SL game to the fullest. Overs 12 to 20 are tough batting first as we've seen in more than 2 games so far. Not taking anything away from BD bowlers. Thry bowled very well today but pitch played a part.

 

[Rana]

What kind of chewt captain says at the toss “it’s an honour to be playing against the best team in the world”.

Straight out of Rizwan playbook.

If you are going to rant about education, universities, and intellectual stuff, at least try making your post readable. Did your phone not come with an 'Enter' key, or did Apple snatch it back after you defaulted on your iPhone 6 EMIs?

Funny how most of the 'andhbhakhts' write like this and still cosplay as intellectuals.

 

[mominsaigol]

What do you think about Pakistani players’ English? By your logic, where are they supposed to work?

In the current set up, all Pakistani players ironically speak better English then he does.

And even the ones who don't like Sarfaraz Ahmad are 100x richer and won trophies for their country and are country rennouned names.

Not the same thing. In the same way Jack Ma was born in poverty but now has garnered more respect then you or I can imagine.

You're comparing an online troll who can't muster a sentence and became a railway driver due to a spite cricket match vs players who have their own Wikipedia pages lol.

Easy Peasy Win coming up for Pak tomorrow. (Irrespective of the toss). BD are DONE. Mentally & Physically.

Then the captain drops the tournament’s most dangerous and in form batter….


Then the lull run out…

aur utha tu best team in the world ke!

 

[mominsaigol]

Class doesn't come from education or how much one earns. Class comes from the kind of person one is.

And making fun of hard working people just because they earn less is the opposite of class.

And the kind of person he is reeks of rubbish. We both know that.

Like i said earlier, no one would bully him in English, Time traveller drama, or any other nonsense he's spouted or about his recent restrictions if he wasn't annoying everyone 24/7

 

[Rana]

How did BD appoint a guy who has captained NOWHERE in his life to captain here against India?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I’m not even sure how they will make the substitution’s work.

Shoriful or Taskin in for Saif….that’s easy


Liton comes in for who?

Mehidy comes in for who?

 

[Azaad]

SKY has become a Salman Ali Agha of Indian team lol

0% Performance and 100% Chewing bubble gum

His record of a SR over 165 and an avg over 35 allows him the luxury to be in the first choice team. What has Agha ever done? He's a liability in the team

 

[Local.Dada]

It seems like India is afraid of anything that goes up in the air.

True but thank god match is telecast live otherwise we would have been out of qualifiers

 

[PAKFAN12]

Pakistan should not take Bangladesh lightly

 

[mominsaigol]

Exactly, and thats why i commended you on recognizing a fact, and you still were thick enough not to get it, leave alone the bhagoda virus who turned up -maan na maan mei tera mehmaan

All you are doing is doddling like a juvenile.

I genuinely have no clue what you just said.

It seems like poor communication skills, unemployment, and being a Dumb@ss is a common trope amoung indians and you represent all 3 notions.

Oh and you forgot to say DUDE.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Bangladesh can’t play spin. Abrar can wreck havoc.

 

[sweep_shot]

I’m not even sure how they will make the substitution’s work.

Shoriful or Taskin in for Saif….that’s easy


Liton comes in for who?

Mehidy comes in for who?

No. Saif is likely to play. Saif replaced Emon. Emon replaced Litton today. Litton should return next game.

Saifuddin is likely to get the chop. Taskin comes in.

Mahedi is likely to return ahead of Rishad or Nasum.

Possible XI for tomorrow:

Saif
Tanzid
Litton
Tawhid
Shamim
Jaker
Mahedi
Nasum/Rishad
Shoriful/Tanzid
Taskin
Mustafiz.

 

[mominsaigol]

lol.

now i have a an alt.....am going up the 'status' ladder as defined by his highness Shakespearuddin from Shakespearabad in Shakespearistan

Down the status ladder perhaps

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Bangladesh batsmen lacked quality today. Yes, India bowled well but you have to question the skill-level and decision-making of Bangladesh batsmen. India's fielding was horrendous which is why Bangladesh got to 126, and someone like Saif ended up scoring 67, but it felt like India were getting a few chances every over. In general it felt like Bangladesh batsmen lacked a proper game plan against spin.

 

[PAKFAN12]

Bangladesh can’t play spin. Abrar can wreck havoc.

Hriday, Saif, Liton are Decent player against spinners

you still did'nt get it, try reading that post and specifically what i commended you on, dude....
and lastly regarding being a 'dumb...whatever' - there's a few opinions about your lot that anyone here can give, which you woud'nt want to hear...

 

[prash88]

No NRR drama and qudrat ki nizam drama in super 4s, India through to finals. It's a straight shootout tomorrow. Glad for it.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Lol, the guy insulted my dad. How come you're not critiquing him? Is it cause hes Indian .

This guy Pakfan is also an alt. Wanna guess, who he is? I am sure you can.

 

[BreadPakoda]

Hriday, Saif, Liton are Decent player against spinners

IMO you need to be better than decent here, especially if Bangladesh bats first. Of the three, I really like Liton but there’s a good chance SSA can take him out early.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Lol Like your team didn't take them seriously...

Pakistan should not take Bangladesh lightly

[BDfanforever]

Saif was never a hard hitter like Shai Hope. However, playing in the leagues helped him to improve his power game. He was outside of our main squad, but glad he was included.

T20 is all about entertainment, so far he is the only BD batsman who played some entertaining shots.

He was terrible when he first came to the scene.

He is much better now. He can hit better. He is also chipping in with some useful part-time overs.

He was economical with the ball today.

Good utility player. Good find for BD.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Time for operation clean up

 

[jnaveen1980]

Technique against even basic spin is poor. I understad getting bamboozled by Kuldeep to some extent varun. Axar is type of bowler you see every day in your domestic set up. Apart from that opener nobody could take him on.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Nice try BD.

He has played only in BPL and has a strike rate of 117?

Six? Do these people have a life outside trolling

 

[sweep_shot]

BPL pitches are often sluggish.

You have to look at last 1 year or 2 years. He improved a lot.

Also, during his first few years, he was struggling.

He has been superb in this Asia Cup. Scored 60+ against SL, 30+ against Afghanistan, and 60+ against India today. Good strike-rate also.

His only reasonable season was last year and he was striking at 119. Mind you he looked good today, but I don't know if it was just a good day where he benifited due to poor fielding or possess actual hitting abilities. We will see in future

Some of the new pak/bang batsmen have mastered the art of six hitting while ignoring other facets of the game. That is why their strike rate is lower. Farhan has scored 156 runs for Pakistan at a strike rate of 107 in the Asia cup. This saif guy second highest run getter / 160 runs at 129.

 

[TheSultan]

India are asking to be punished, but these teams need to trust themselves. Very ordinary by India in the field and to only get 168 after the start they got is poor going.

If Pakistan did that, we would be seething.

Bangladesh had a golden opportunity.

If I was SL I’d be very confident. Unfortunately for them it will not matter regards making the final

 

[BDfanforever]

BD have another problem all of their better hitters are Wicket Keepers which is one of the reason they cant play batting depth like SRL. We need proper allrounder like Faheem or Pandya or even Sean Abbot/Aaron Hardie.

Yes.

An all-rounder like Shakib is needed. That can give them more batting depth.

I don't think even Pakistan could chase this target against India with Bumrah now again bowling hard lengths. Pakistan's best bet will be to bat first

IN order to form a modern T20 team six hitting alone is not enough. You need a well rounded squad that can manage different situations like collapses, pitch condition change. BD is behind in quiet a few areas.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Saifuddin looks like a poor man's Siraj
