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

[Usman Chadda]

This Saif Hasan is half Sri Lankan. That's probably why he is a bit better looking and probably a whole lot more talented than the rest of these guys.

Funny, Sri Lanka has been knocked out while the less talented blokes might be playing the final on 28th.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

to the BD PP guys, why is Nahid Rana not playing, is he not even in the squad, or injured?

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Please being out your protractor, 360 degrees SKY is losing a few chunks of his game

 

[Devadwal]

Abhishek "Richards/Tendulkar/Kohli/Ponting" Sharma, this guy is going to go on to become bigger than all of them combined.

Relex bro. Indian fans don't rate him that highly . He is only suitable for limited over cricket.

 

[Hellion]

Last 23 balls, 19 runs and 2 wickets. Middle overs slowdown as usual in first innings Dubai.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Think Dube is picked over Nitish Reddy because of injury in that trundler role.

No. Dube is definitely more a big match player. Here they unncessarily shoved him at 3.

 

[RidiculousMan]

SKY is in horrendous form all year. They are ruining Sanju samson by playing him at 5.

Tbh. Samson should be benched

 

[sweep_shot]

Looks like you havent had a look at the sri lankan team

These sanghis are all misinformed.

SL lost to both BD and Pakistan. They could've lost to Afghanistan also. Almost lost against Hong Kong as well.

 

[Local.Dada]

140-160 from India ,Bangladesh is in the game. 160-180 they might have a outside shot. 180+ stick a fork in it.

 

[globetrotter]

Abhishek Sharma unleashed..... six more

 

[prash88]

No. Dube is definitely more a big match player. Here they unncessarily shoved him at 3.

Yes. Gambhir likes Nitish Reddy, Riyan Parag etc., too in that role and gave them caps previously.

 

[Rajdeep]

Simon Doull and Mike Haysman were latest addition in comm box. They were not there in first round

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Only way to contain abhsihek is to bowl at his hips and tuck him up

Good strategy. This message needs to be mailed to Hesson so he can follow it next time.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Tbh. Samson should be benched

Why? He got 3 centureis as opener. Suddenly they pushed him way down. He blitzed apart bangladesh last year when India made 297 in 20 overs. Sanju scored 32 runs in one over of riza hossain

 

[RidiculousMan]

Simon Doull and Mike Haysman were latest addition in comm box. They were not there in first round

I wonder why

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

These sanghis are all misinformed.

one can easily respond to you & replace the second word as u have metioned above, with the j word you would'nt like mate....

 

[OldWarHorse]

Surya playing boring cricket

 

[Devadwal]

No. Dube is definitely more a big match player. Here they unncessarily shoved him at 3.

Riyan Parag is better option than Dube

 

[RidiculousMan]

Why? He got 3 centureis as opener. Suddenly they pushed him way down. He blitzed apart bangladesh last year when India made 297 in 20 overs. Sanju scored 32 runs in one over of riza hossain

Not quality against good attack and on non Patta wickets.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SKY is looking a shadow of himself.

 

[prash88]

Yes. Gambhir likes Nitish Reddy, Riyan Parag etc., too in that role and gave them caps previously.

Ideally Axar can do that spin hitting role better than Dube and seems to be in better nick with bat.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Abhishek "Richards/Tendulkar/Kohli/Ponting" Sharma, this guy is going to go on to become bigger than all of them combined.

Plus he can bowl.

He will be Gary Sobers level player

 

[sweep_shot]

Why is captain bowling Saifuddin?

You have Mustafiz, Tanzim, Rishad, Saif, and Nasum.

This should be Saifuddin's final over.

 

[Sachin fan]

The thing is if BD (hypothetically) beat India, they still have to beat Pakistan because of NRR. Pakistan have a superior NRR.

Let's just say, due to BCCICC's biased scheduling, BD were forced to do this. I guess they decided to prioritize the knockout game tomorrow.

The mentally ill troll is lying again. It was always settled whoever ends up 2 in the group will play back to back. No one asked bangla to finish second in the group.

 

[Local.Dada]

Only way to contain abhsihek is to bowl at his hips and tuck him up

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.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not quality against good attack and on non Patta wickets.

He made a 100 in SAin 56 balls in T20. Also a one day 100 in SA.

 

[LegendAli]

lol You are going overboard. He is just playing T20 how it should eb played.

So are all the other players in this tournament, why only results from Abhishek?

 

[sweep_shot]

IND - 112/2 (11 overs).

 

[Hellion]

Funny, Sri Lanka has been knocked out while the less talented blokes might be playing the final on 28th.

This shouldn't be a surprise to you guys of all. Less gifted Indian sides have knocked out Pakistan quite a few times in tournaments in the past.

 

[LongHorn]

Captain is wrong to keep bowling saifuddin

 

[Devadwal]

Useless sky. Abhishek is run out because of him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

So are all the other players in this tournament, why only results from Abhishek?

He is an inform player comparativel despite India not playing many T20s this year. Others are scratchy. Many are capable like this in Indian set up.

 

[OldWarHorse]

That was actually very clever from Fizz.

 

[sweep_shot]

Abhishek seems to be run-out. They are checking.

 

[Sachin fan]

Abhishek guy is very lucky. Most of the time his shots don't go to the fielders.
He plays way too many aerial shots.

Hw deliberately hits to places where fielders are not there so that even mishits don't go to hand. Does it every match

 

[prash88]

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.

Abhishek played 0 Ranji games for Punjab last season and has FC avg of 30. All his batting training is for T20. Won't work in ODIs also.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SKy what an useless POS. Tuktuking wasting balls

 

[followed]

Abhishek rondhu sharma played another lucky innings with catches being dropped and ball not carrying to the fielders.

 

[sweep_shot]

Abhishek is run-out. Big wicket.



IND - 112/3 (11.1 overs).

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

run out...whata waste of a wicket!!!

 

[globetrotter]

Another good inning by Abhishek

 

[followed]

Hw deliberately hits to places where fielders are not there so that even mishits don't go to hand. Does it every match

His catch was dropped as well. Pakistan dropped two catches of him as well.
He is a lucky player who will always need luck

 

[jnaveen1980]

This SKY should be kicked out for ruining Sanju's career.Now he is sending Pandya

 

[Local.Dada]

200 minimum against this attack. Maybe Bangladesh conserving energy for the Pak game which probably is their better shot to qualify.

If India win this Pak-Bang will be straight up semifinal.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Abhishek deserved a century.

Very unlucky.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SKY is showing zero intent.

 

[followed]

Rishad hussain is a utility cricketer. A very good fielder and decent batsman as well.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Terrific fielding by that bangladesh fielder, good reco and throw

 

[Devadwal]

Now tuk tuk starting

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was an outsanding piece of fielding. One action. Credit to him.

 

[PakPremi]

Sky has started to bat like Pakistani batsmen unless he gets balls to sweep.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Why was he looking at the leg umpire..LOL

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

omg...why hardik, when you have Akshar, sanju and Tilak? hardik would be better used over 17 onwards

 

[SportsWarrior]

Surya is all talk and no performance for a long time now.

 

[Hikaru]

Surya is a spent force.

 

[Rajdeep]

LOL SKY didnt walk

 

[Devadwal]

Kuch jyada hi Abhishek Sharma pe depend nahi ho rahe hum?

 

[Hikaru]

Wickets earned, terrific fielding.

 

[SportsWarrior]

SKy what an useless POS. Tuktuking wasting balls

yeah, only thing talking is his big mouth. Very poor performance for a long time now. Bring in Iyer and get rid of him

 

[jnaveen1980]

Get out man. Atleast we could have got a wide had he not played it.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Surya should be lucky to shake hands with International players after this series

 

[Cover Drive Six]

LOL SKY didnt walk

He knew that he nicked the ball, just like Fakhar did.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

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

 

[Devadwal]

Sly should be dropped before 2026 World cup . He has past his prime and becomes weak Link.

 

[Vikram1989]

Finally sky walked out after a horrendous innings. He should have come at 3 and tried to get in to rhythm.

 

[JaDed]

Time to throw SKY out

 

[sweep_shot]

SKY is out.

IND - 114/4 (12 overs).

 

[boomboomcheema]

Umpires still favoring India in every match.

 

[Rajdeep]

Think we will score 170 max

 

[PakPremi]

If you take out Abishek and Gill early then Indian team can be put under pressure.

 

[Hellion]

Kuch jyada hi Abhishek Sharma pe depend nahi ho rahe hum?

Not sure why we sent Pandu ahead of Tilak and Samson.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Impossible to win against Team BCCI with umpires in their pocket.

 

[Champ_Pal]

SKY's poor form continues. He looks like the weakest link in the Indian batting lineup.

 

[Local.Dada]

Oh no, we are not losing this are we?

 

[The Bald Eagle]

LOL SKY didnt walk

What else can one expect from him

 

[AZulfi]

Good fight-back by Bangladesh

Unfortunately, they have leaked too many runs.

Can they restrict India to under 180?

 

[mominsaigol]

where is @mominsaigol brother.

Thread is incomplete without his wrong predictions or jinx lol

Am busy today.

 

[sweep_shot]

Impossible to win against Team BCCI with umpires in their pocket.

How could umpire miss that? Massive edge.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a pathetic batting order by India. Tilak varma 6 , Opener Sanju at 7.

 

[cricketfan24]

India trying hard to take Pakistan out of tournament
