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

[jnaveen1980]

India still winning this, but BD has impressed.

And of course Gambhir’s experiments suck

Sending TIlak way down the order, Sending DUbe up the order, NOt at all sending Samson. Left right break up today.

 

[Local.Dada]

168

Surely Bangladesh can chase this?

Dawa mil gayi hai- poor batting

Ab aapke duaon pe kaayam hai

Lol Bangladesh should humble evil india today.
Good job by Bangladesh. Time to teach some humility to indian clowns.

 

[Local.Dada]

1-2 overs to go and just blind hitting without pressure is a scenario tailor made for Samson

 

[prash88]

On these pitches can’t expect Fast bowlers to do a lot. Maybe top order wickets. If Bangladesh plays smartly they have a shot. I feel they will play Varun and Kuldeep better than Pak batters.

PP score and first 10 over runs are two win factors in this pitch. India look good there.

BD batsmen have poor record against Kuldeep.

Nah. We will still stay arrogant

 

[Local.Dada]

O

BD batsmen have poor record against Kuldeep.

they played him a lot more across all 3 formats so have to be better equipped

 

[globetrotter]

India were 112 in 11 over...... only 56 runs added i. 54 balls... that very poor batting

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

So far in this Asia Cup. India's Batting has been Abhishek or nothing

Tbh had abhishek got out early india would have barely made 130 on this track

 

[Shafikapeo]

So many blunders from Gambhir—Dubey is a total hack, shouldn’t have been sent at No. 3. And then you’ve got oversmart, gum-chewing captain Soorya looking absolutely clueless. The Oman match was the perfect chance for him to work on batting on slow wickets, but nope—too arrogant to even come up to bat. And Axar Patel ahead of Sanju? If you’re not going to play Sanju at all, at least give Jitesh Sharma a chance. Absolute garbage decisions from Gambhir, shuffling the batting order in a must-win game where you needed those 2 points for the final. Soorya and Gambhir ruined a solid start.

 

[Hikaru]

Bharat was restricted by fielding and bowling skills. Not too disappointed, gotta bowl well now.

 

[Rana]

@mominsaigol @topspin

Soorya 59 runs in the tournament

Harris has 100

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hate these Gambhir experiments which he used to do with KKR>

 

[BDfanforever]

I think both teams are just experimenting a bit with this game. They are looking past the Asia Cup which is good in a way.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Pakistani fans after India vs Oman:
If Oman can fight, why can’t we? We’ll beat India!
Next match result: Pakistan get thrashed by India.

Pakistani fans after India vs Bangladesh:
Bangla brothers restricted India… if we remove Abhishek early, we can do it too.ha ha..
Next match result: You already know.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think both teams are just experimenting a bit with this game. They are looking past the Asia Cup which is good in a way.

But India's experiemnts are dumb. There is no way in hell Dube will be required to bat at 3. He is not a sepcialist batsman. This completely upsets the rhythm, mindset, In every match he is doing some kind of experiment. Only reason why Abhishek and even Gill doing well because they have a set role. Just send ABhishek at 4. He will be struggling massively.

 

[sweep_shot]

Lankan brothers will be supporting us. Can BD repay their favor?

SL need BD to win today. If BD lose, they are out officially.

If BD beat India today, SL can still qualify for final if BD beat Pakistan, SL beat India, and if their NRR remains superior.

 

[saabir]

Good job done by BD bowlers. Restricted in form India under 170 is no small feat .

 

[followed]

Lol so if evil india loses today and against srilanka as well.
Evil india won't even make the final. Hahahahh
I can't wait for that to happen.

 

[light]

Not able to watch the match. Why isn't liton on the playing 11?

@mominsaigol @topspin

Surya’s match winning finishing 47* with that disdainful 6 in the first Pak game is better than any hackish innings ever played by Haris (except maybe his innings vs SA). Not even the first choice keeper for his side. One can argue SKY needs to be replaced by Iyer or Jaiswal but replacing Haris in the place of you know who

 

[sweep_shot]

Good job done by BD bowlers. Restricted in form India under 170 is no small feat .

That too without their main bowling attack.

Taskin was rested, for example.

They did well with the ball. Batters now have to do equally well.

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Common bangla boyzzzzz

 

[sweep_shot]

Not able to watch the match. Why isn't liton on the playing 11?

They rested 4 of their main players.

Probably because of back to back games. They also have a game tomorrow (against Pakistan).

I will raise you one.

Indian team after winning super 4 game- why didn’t we finish this in 15 overs, how did we let Pak score 170

Pak team after losing super 4 game- wow what a celebration from Rauf, what a social media meme by Ashraf, goat moment ever. Feels like a WC win.

 

[prash88]

If India put this kind of target to Pakistan in finals. They ll chase it. I can say that.

 

[Hellion]

Lol Bangladesh should humble evil india today.
Good job by Bangladesh. Time to teach some humility to indian clowns.

Hopefully, after so many appeals on your part, someone will listen to such low things' voices and do something about evil India

 

[Bhaijaan]

Abhishek seemed like the only batter seriously going for the win tonight. Rest of them probably trying to ensure Pakistan doesn’t reach the final.

 

[Imran Hasan]

Liton got hurt in practice session but I don't think thats the main reason to rest him. BD probably try to preserve some players for back to back match against Pak.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Hate these Gambhir experiments which he used to do with KKR>

Sometimes I wonder how he managed to succeed with KKR.

 

[hur rizvi]

Hope Bangladesh win…

India vs SL to be knock out

 

[JaDed]

Surprise tactics can work against India with the new BD batsman..

 

[jnaveen1980]

In t20 collapse can happen, suddenly batsmen not finding the middel can happen. Teams posting under par total can happen. India carries 3 or 4 out of form batsmen in the middle. Too much change in battin order onlymade this worse.

 

[Local.Dada]

168 might be a bit too much in a final pressure for Pak. 140-160 I will back them. Every run India scores after 140 their probability decreases.

Having said that if Bangladesh can restrict us to 168, their bowling definitely has a chance to have a good day and keep us to a below par 140 score.

 

[BDfanforever]

Abhishek seemed like the only batter seriously going for the win tonight. Rest of them probably trying to ensure Pakistan doesn’t reach the final.

I was thinking the same, but these guys are all professional.

 

[jnaveen1980]

BD can give a reality check to Gambhir's experiments.

 

[Mainul]

That's a brilliant come back by Bangladesh. Hats off.

But I m being realistic this total is way too much against an Indian attack. And we are minus LKD.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I was thinking the same, but these guys are all professional.

No. they are just out of touch. Just pull out the T20 stats of INdians in the year 2025. ABhishek stands out. DUbe here and tehere. That's it. Everyone else had ordinary year.

 

[cricketmania22]

They can’t keep Pakistan out. It’s not in their hands.

 

[zahid01]

Probably their thinking is they have better chance of winning against pakistan than india

 

[sweep_shot]

BD need to take it deep.

Keep wickets in hand. Don't make RRR too high.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India is doing some really stupid things in this Asia cup. Bumrah bowling 3 overs upfront, Bumrah not opening.

 

[Local.Dada]

Have faith bro. We will try our best to arrange a Ind-Ban final with SL proving to be incompetent to complete the job. You are our 2nd team now. Delivering this msg straight from 10 Janpath

You have seriously undermined Bangladesh effort. Bangladesh were brilliant with the ball . Avishek was at another level

It will be an easier final with Pakistan. Bangladesh seems far more skilled.

Yes that’s a weird thing. Why is Bumrah bowling the 2nd over not the first one.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I have not seen many BD batsmen. But as a bowling unit Bangladesh > Pakistan.

 

[Local.Dada]

If India has to be counted as no.1 team this is their shot to defend in helpful chasing conditions after getting a sub par score. No dew excuse. If we lose we lose, well played Bangladesh, if we win, still well played Bangladesh if it’s a close game. If Bangladesh gets bundled out cheaply here well that’s just Bangladesh team being Bangladesh team. Already a poor game by our standards.

We don't want sympathy bro. I want our team to go to final on merit .

Tanzid gone

It is hard to keep on winning in T20. But India has too many things to improve all said and done.

It's below par. Pakistan bat deep. Pitch gets better in second innings. Too many things to overcome.

 

[jnaveen1980]

You will if you handle Abrar well.

 

[sweep_shot]

Tanzid is out.

4/1.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This BD batting unit is not familiar. Who are the best players guys? I only know LItton Das and Joker ali , Hridoy (because of his name)

 

[sweep_shot]

Yes that’s a weird thing. Why is Bumrah bowling the 2nd over not the first one.

Maybe because Bumrah chucks?

Chucker shouldn't bowl first over.

 

[Mainul]

What I liked about our team today is mental strength and positiveness . Our previous team would have let it go and India would have posted 220.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Under lights Bumrah is moving the ball more

 

[cricketmania22]

[jnaveen1980]

Bumrah is not in right frame of mind. He doesn't bowl these rubbish wides quiet often

 

[Mainul]

Bumrah has been delivering bullets

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Bumrah is looking dangerous today

 

[jnaveen1980]

Under lights ball is moving a lot for him.

BD - 9/1 (2 overs).

160 to win from 18 overs.

 

[Mainul]

4 runs. Doesn't matter how it comes

 

[Hikaru]

Tulleybaazi on.

 

[Hellion]

Being dark skinned <> ugly.

Lot of my college female friends used to thirst about Sangakkara. His fake accent adding to his charisma

He's just in denial

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Bumrah not only has elite skill level but has high IQ …

 

[Devadwal]

Hardik first over Karega ye joi rule hai kya

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Keep swinging .. might just get away with it.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

BD is just hacking at it. This style won’t last long. They need to settle

 

[jnaveen1980]

Old man SKY is useless.

 

[sweep_shot]

Bumrah not only has elite skill level but has high IQ …

It helps when you are chucking.

 

[Hellion]

It helps when you are chucking.

He's not a chucker. Please don't be such a cricketing illiterate all the time

 

[sweep_shot]

Four.

BD - 19/1 (3 overs).

150 to win from 17 overs.

 

[Local.Dada]

Hardik first over Karega ye joi rule hai kya

The other option is Dube

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Flipping heck Bumrah. What a bowler

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Bumrah should stop looking for magic balls and just got a hard length.
