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

[Local.Dada]

Jaiswal, Abhishek, Gill should be our Top 3. That will tear up some opening line ups especially the opening.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Umpires still favoring India in every match.

default settings, rinse repeat on loop

 

[Imran Hasan]

Just wondering why SKY didn't walk after BD took the review.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Good opportunity for Pandya to score some runs. Hope he uses this well.

 

[mesmerizer85]

PCT should learn from Bangladesh team the intent in the field

 

[Local.Dada]

loosing wickets in a hurry ...150 wkt for Mustafizz...great achievement

Only X factor Bangladesh bowler. Gotta give it to Taskin as well , another guy that massively improved.

 

[Devadwal]

HARDIK is too arrogant . He won't try to hit untill last 3 over.

Tlak is doing well at 3 as well. But these idiotts send all the players who are in form down the order

It would be so so great if Bangladesh wins today and also srilanka beat evil india.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six.

IND - 124/4 (13 overs).

 

[prash88]

212 is the highest T20I score in Dubai. India hit that against Afghanistan last Asia cup in a dead rubber after getting eliminated.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Completely messed up batting order.

 

[Hellion]

Pathetic from Hardik

 

[globetrotter]

175 is enough for India

 

[Hellion]

They have to get 190, somehow. Evil has to prevail

 

[PakPremi]

With the opening start India got, they still set for 180 plus score

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Questionable tactics from India today. They were cruising.

Questionable team selections from Bangladesh.

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 127/4 (14 overs).

Need to restrict them to 180 if possible.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Bangladesh bowling well.

 

[Devadwal]

Pathetic from Hardik

He won't hit but happy to take single . I have seen the his pattern after becoming captain for little period

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pandya has become an accumulator for the last 2 yeasr. He hits only in the last 2 or 3 overs.

 

[followed]

Good by tanzim. This tilak verma is so overrated and overhyped.

 

[Hellion]

Varma gone

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Good cricket from Bangladesh. Mounting a real comeback here.

 

[Usman Chadda]

220+ still on for India

 

[Cover Drive Six]

HARDIK is too arrogant . He won't try to hit untill last 3 over.

Let him play until the end, we are collapsing.

 

[sweep_shot]

Tilak is out.

IND - 129/5 (14.3 overs).

 

[Devadwal]

Let him play until the end, we are collapsing.

All thanks to captain

 

[OldWarHorse]

Gujju boys ready to take over

 

[Cover Drive Six]

What’s wrong with this Gambhir guy? Still not sending Sanju Samson. Sending him at 8 is absolutely ridiculous , what nonsense is this?

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Haha we’re 5 down,

 

[globetrotter]

Wickets falling at regular intervals, India will reach 175 which is enough

 

[globetrotter]

What’s wrong with this Gambhir guy? Still not sending Sanju Samson. Sending him at 8 is absolutely ridiculous , what nonsense is this?

Sanju is hitters, for last couple of overs hez good

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 132/5 (15 overs).

Last 5 overs. BD should try to restrict them to 175-180.

 

[GlobalCric]

India is trying to keep Pakistan out of Final...confirmed!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Good stuff from Bangldesh so far

 

[JaDed]

What terrible display

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sanju never batted at 8 in any format for any team. wow.. This is next level experiment.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

India is trying to keep Pakistan out of Final...confirmed!

How will it keep Pakistan out of final? Am I missing something?

 

[JaDed]

India is trying to keep Pakistan out of Final...confirmed!

PCT just needs to win next game to be in the final, NRR is good

 

[batandballbattle]

bangla boys showing way more heart than us

 

[sweep_shot]

Mustafizur has reached 150 T20I wickets today.

He is the leading wicket-taker for BD in T20 format.

 

[Usman Chadda]

India is trying to keep Pakistan out of Final...confirmed!

India themselves will be in a pickle if they lose tonight.

Pakistan only has to beat Bangladesh and we should be through.

 

[JaDed]

Get 180, which might not be enough but at least gives us a chance

 

[Devadwal]

Pathetic batting by Hardik

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

I now seriously wouldn’t mind BD winning this - they are showing heart.

 

[pillionrider]

Gambhir striking again. The stupidest coach with the most arrogant body language. Lucky to have a very good team that bails out his idiocy.

 

[PakPremi]

Batting first even Indian batsmen struggling in middle overs.

 

[OldWarHorse]

If I had to watch ODI type batting Id watch an ODI. WHAT IS THIS BAKWAAS?

 

[GlobalCric]

PCT just needs to win next game to be in the final, NRR is good

That NRR can change with today's match. Pakistan was at -0.65 or something before their win against Sri Lanka. Yday win was not a big win still their NRR improved so much. Bangla need win by 5 wkt and their NRR will be higher than Pakistan and tomorrow Pakistan will worry about chasing the NRR not bangla. my views...

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 135/5 (16 overs).

BD have pulled things back quite a bit. India were going at almost 12 an over at one point.

 

[BlackstoneRock]

World class batting crumbling … it seems..

 

[Usman Chadda]

Batting first even Indian batsmen struggling in middle overs.

Anyone who has watched games in Dubai before know this is how it has always been.

Overs 10-15 are the most difficult to bat here, as the ball doesn’t come on to the bat. Some people here thought India could score 220+ for fun on this ground.

 

[saabir]

India team is heavily dependent on openers especially Abhishek. Middle order and lower order not tested under pressure so far . Abhishek batting reminds me of Sanath Jayasuriya of 1995-96 when he used to crush any bowling line up inside first 15 overs. Abhishek is enjoying a purple patch atm

 

[AZulfi]

Looks like India's final score will be somewhere around 160-170

Bangladesh will still have to bat well

 

[PakPremi]

Sanju never batted at 8 in any format for any team. wow.. This is next level experiment.

This is Pakistan level decision to bat your attacking middle order batsman lower than the bowling all rounder.

 

[sweep_shot]

That was very close to being an edge. No spike. Axar survives.

 

[saabir]

It's not easy to easy when ball gets older. Great start by openers again..this is more than enough for BD

 

[JaDed]

160 doesnt look possible

 

[GlobalCric]

Has batting became so hard suddenly on this pitch??

 

[Hellion]

He won't hit but happy to take single . I have seen the his pattern after becoming captain for little period

12 off 14

 

[Cover Drive Six]

If you can’t find boundaries, at least take singles and doubles. Just eating up balls while trying to hit every delivery for a boundary.

 

[JaDed]

much needed boundary

 

[saabir]

Has batting became so hard suddenly on this pitch??

Apparently ball gets soft then scoring quick become lot more harder

 

[sweep_shot]

Without Abhishek, India could've been in more trouble.

Also, BD have rested 4 of their main players. This is not the main XI. They have done well with this depleted bowling attack.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pandya 17*(16)

Need to keep evil under 170
Shabba Bangladesh.

 

[ataullah]

HARDIK is too arrogant . He won't try to hit untill last 3 over.

Not arrogant but limited

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Surya has been aweful .. now that his leg side behind the fine leg is not coming off … which is his confidence shot .. he is struggling as he doesn’t feel the same with other shots

 

[Ali Active]

keep doing that below 140 and he will adjust and smack it to midwicket all day. His weakness is against swing and seam in spicy conditons. Most players struggle but he doesn’t have the red ball technique to sustain there from what I have seen so far.

I guess shaheen and rauf can tuck him up but they need to stick to that line that ball pitches on good length and tucks him up only weakness i have noticed of him otherwise solid solid player

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 141/5 (17 overs).

3 overs to go. How much more can they get?

 

[followed]

That stupid keeper dropped Abhishek Sharma when he was on like 10.

 

[sweep_shot]

That stupid keeper dropped Abhishek Sharma when he was on like 10.

Yeah. That was a costly drop.

This Jaker is not a regular keeper. Litton normally keeps. Litton has been rested today.

 

[globetrotter]

Boundary......Go Pandya go

 

[Usman Chadda]

In all seriousness though, great bowling performance from Bangladesh so far.

 

[saabir]

That NRR can change with today's match. Pakistan was at -0.65 or something before their win against Sri Lanka. Yday win was not a big win still their NRR improved so much. Bangla need win by 5 wkt and their NRR will be higher than Pakistan and tomorrow Pakistan will worry about chasing the NRR not bangla. my views...

Net Run Rate doesn’t depend on wickets in hand at all.
It is calculated purely from runs scored per over and runs conceded per over across the tournament.

 

[BlackstoneRock]

I guess shaheen and rauf can tuck him up but they need to stick to that line that ball pitches on good length and tucks him up only weakness i have noticed of him otherwise solid solid player

I would say ball close to him is danger ball as he waits with minimum foot movement.. better to keep it little wide and on length and not full and wide .. with good field placement

 

[followed]

Sakib has bowled well but in this over he is struggling.

 

[prash88]

170 is par. No way for Bangladesh to chase if they get above 178+.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

india is still far ahead, bangladesh will struggle.
