India (174/4) secure a 6-wicket victory over Pakistan (171/5) in the Super Four clash of the Asia Cup 2025

[anakwalajinn]

How did the toss go? Did they shake hands? Baby is sleeping on top of me remote is too far away so watching Ireland England atm

 

[RidiculousMan]

Disgusting decision to drop Hassan Nawaz.

He has performed for you this whole year. He has been your face of modern day Cricket.

At the end you have dropped him on the back of just 3 failures that too on no. 6 in Asia Cup. Sending a message to players again that it's better to play for your positions than to play for the team and take risks.

Hassan Nawaz has been rewarded today for trying to change the face of Pakistan batting towards a modern approach.

 

[castortroy]

India should win by 5 or 6 wickets

 

[anakwalajinn]

India have won the toss and elected to field first.

Did they at least look at each other? How was the mood? Haha

 

[followed]

Stupidity to drop Hasan Nawaz. He should have been persisted with.
Lol faheem ashraf is back but thankfully khushdil the worst player ever is dropped.

 

[prash88]

I was expecting India to lose the toss and still show the way to win but....

 

[IAJ]

India have won the toss and elected to field first.

Good that India is chasing here. In Final they will lose the toss hopefully and will be forced to bat first, then they wont have the experience they could get here today(har cheez mein kuch positive dhoundna padhta hai)

Technically Salman Agha is the one that should get kicked out lol Can't bowl, Can't bat. When he bowls he gets cartered around. But being the captain has its perks

 

[Nephrologist]

Advantage Pakistan

 

[Devadwal]

No hand Shake .

 

[Asif321]

Phutti Kismat when they wanted to bowl first . They lose the toss lol

 

[Nephrologist]

Did they at least look at each other? How was the mood? Haha

No they didn’t it was like two exes coming together during a school reunion

 

[G0rmintAunty]

They dropped Hassan Nawaz or Mohd Nawaz?

 

[hassan918]

Playing XIs for both teams.

 

[Ball Blazer]

Salman: Would've bowled first as well. It's a new game, new challenge. The mood is very normal. Pitch looks to be on the slower side. Want to start well with both bat and ball. Two changes. Hasan Nawaz and Khushdil Shah not playing.

Suryakumar: We'll bowl first. Looks a nice track and yesterday there was dew. Since first round we were thinking we're playing a knock1out tournament, nothing changes. That was a completely different wicket (in Abu Dhabi). Quite normal, just another game. Bumrah and Varun come back for Arshdeep and Harshit.

 

[Asif321]

Another 110 all out loading ?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Hassan Nawaz for trying to play modern day Cricket.

Hassan Nawaz

 

[hassan918]

Salman Ali Agha at Toss: Would've bowled first as well. It's a new game, new challenge. The mood is very normal. Pitch looks to be on the slower side. Want to start well with both bat and ball. Two changes. Hasan Nawaz and Khushdil Shah not playing.

[hamzie]

You mean hitting at every ball and scoring 0?

 

[Nephrologist]

Pycroft the Bossman has extreme Aura

 

[castortroy]

Pak only slight chance was if they chased. India don't lose games chasing

 

[Nephrologist]

It is time for the umpires to do their work.

 

[cricketfan24]

better to rest saim ayub 5 's in his last 10 innings

 

[followed]

Salman agha must play well today or he should face the axe.
He doesn't make t20is team in any universe.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

@Rajdeep El Clasico Part 2 loaded as well.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Hassan Nawaz for trying to play modern day Cricket.

What a clown show. It's getting harder and harder to follow this corrupt, confused and completely clueless administration, team and players.

 

[Hyder]

Agha must do smth of note here because hasan nawaz is on bench even tho he performed better than agha in t20i. This match we are backing even you agha. Rip them apart

 

[prash88]

I am expecting Hesson to do some madness like sending Shaheen Afridi to bat up the order

 

[Snowflake]

Wow. Did they really drop the only hitter in the squad?

 

[mango_bite77]

unfair for Nawaz to be dropped, when captain himself deserved to be benched. If in case they are considering last 5-7 t20 matches as benchmark.

 

[globetrotter]

Pakistan after 6 overs ... 30/3

 

[RexRex]

@Rajdeep El Clasico Part 2 loaded as well.

Desi Derby loading..

 

[mango_bite77]

India just missed chance to score 250+ by not batting first.

 

[Snowflake]

Play fearless cricket they say. And then they go on to drop a player who is taking the most risks.

How can you then not expect players to play selfishly? Unbelievable

 

[Nephrologist]

Who is Husain Talat?

Brother looking at his t20i strike rate of 117 he looks like another one of these modern day player pak has been producing consistently..

Worrying times

Is it then wise to pack the side with fast bowlers?

 

[Snowflake]

Bass bass

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Bad toss to lose

 

[Snowflake]

Has Hasan Nawaz been that poor recently? Didn’t he have a good home series just before this tournament?

 

[big_gamer007]

@Rajdeep El Clasico Part 2 loaded as well.

Isn’t he boycotting?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Very disappointed in the selection. Youngster Nawaz is a match winnerm

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Isn’t he boycotting?

He is now boycotting the boycott

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Isn’t he boycotting?

I have half a mind of joining Raju bhayya.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hasan Nawaz might fail all the matches. But even though he looks a bit of hack he is the only one who has physical attributes to be an X-factor. Look at Gayle, Yuvraj, Gilchrist, Guptill.. all have one common thing. Tall and long levers. Makes it harder for bowlers to miss their length.

 

[CricVet]

Yes, Advantage India HOWEVER, it is the biggest & the most bitter rivalry in sports (despite padosis' de lulu denial) - anything can happen. Stop sharpening the wrist slashing blade already!

 

[followed]

Salman agha should come after shaheen at 9.
He is this pathetic in t20s.

 

[Major]

Akhtar has no idea how to sit on a crickrt show.

You have to give analysis not just sit there and give up hope.

 

[sweep_shot]

How did the toss go? Did they shake hands? Baby is sleeping on top of me remote is too far away so watching Ireland England atm

As per Cricinfo, they didn't shake hands again.

 

[Nephrologist]

Can Ayub keep his Poultry farm open tonight

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Can we bat properly? And actually beat India???

 

[Devadwal]

Very disappointed in the selection. Youngster Nawaz is a match winnerm

Are you making excuses?

 

[Red-Indian]

India and Pakistan must be reading this pitch very differently. India have gone in with more or less 3 specialist spinners while Pakistan have gone in with 1.

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

Yehi to bat hai kala jadu ka asrat hai pakistan lost the toss india waise bi kala jadu bohat krta hai looks like gambhir is behind this kala jadu lol

 

[TheSultan]

Gonna apologise about my language but *** is Khushdil in the team for??

 

[Nephrologist]

Have faith.

 

[Devadwal]

Only one negative point we have - Hardik is 2nd pacer and he is not that great

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Akhtar has no idea how to sit on a crickrt show.

He only likes to talk about how he could have done this and that and the whole universe was conspiring against him to deliver in bringing trophy home or all imp ind clashes …

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Are you making excuses?

No.

 

[Major]

Lol the intent gang dropped Hassan Nawaz and bought in Faheem?

 

[saabir]

Ridiculous decision to drop your potentially best player in short format. Other than Fakhar and Shaheen no one have performed with the bat. Agha should be the one who need to be dropped instead of this youngster.

 

[Ali Active]

Gonna apologise about my language but *** is Khushdil in the team for??

he is not

 

[Nephrologist]

Yehi to bat hai kala jadu ka asrat hai pakistan lost the toss india waise bi kala jadu bohat krta hai looks like gambhir is behind this kala jadu lol

Yes, India also have a specialist master of black magic appointed to take care of such things.

 

[Major]

He only likes to talk about how he could have done this and that and the whole universe was conspiring against him to deliver in bringing trophy home or all imp ind clashes …

Has to be the most stupid and annoying analyst. Has no analysis infact. Ruins thr whole show.

 

[TheSultan]

he is not

Thank you

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hesson probably is worried about India bashing their spinners. Also Ayub looks like a legit spinner in these parts. Khushdil and Agha can roll their arm over. So that is 4 spin options. 3 seam options. Looks like KKR style bowling attack. Bit of everything.

 

[RexRex]

It's time for the traditional pre-game haka

 

[Rana]

Lol the intent gang dropped Hassan Nawaz and bought in Faheem?

The anti intent gang (lol in T20s) were dreaming of a Naya Pakistan in which Babar and Rizwan open, and then Hassan Nawaz becomes their saviour from the middle order

This is a bigger issue for you.

 

[Red-Indian]

Only one negative point we have - Hardik is 2nd pacer and he is not that great

Yeah the fifth bowler is by far our biggest weakness. If we can get away with 40 runs between Hardik, Dube and Sharma, we'll keep Pakistan below 150.

 

[adi_62941]

Ok so they have bring back mr. Tuk tuk 2.0 hussain talat. He is a mediocre at best.

 

[TheNeutralist]

At this point Saim Ayub is playing as a specialist spinner.

 

[Hellion]

Good that India is chasing here. In Final they will lose the toss hopefully and will be forced to bat first, then they wont have the experience they could get here today(har cheez mein kuch positive dhoundna padhta hai)

As PCT fans, it's a good habit. Dhoundna hi padega.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

absolutely Ridiculous decision to play Talat in place of Hassan Nawaz. why drop Babar and Rizwan then if we are going to fall back to accumulators in middle?

 

[saabir]

India is a great chasing side. You have a chance to beat them by chasing in these conditions. I think it's 70-30 in favour of India

 

[adi_62941]

Why not drop khudhdil and bring hussain talat. He can also bowl and bat same like lord faheem stoke

 

[cricketfan24]

what channel is it on in uk

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Some ridiculous selections but again this is Pakistan so not surprising at all

 

[ads101]

Funny the only guy who actually plays in the modern way at a fast strike rate is dropped. So much for the new strategy.

Disappointing.

Happy to see Talat get a chance again he’s earnt it but depressing it’s come at the cost of Hasan. Not that it’s his fault.

 

[Major]

The anti intent gang (lol in T20s) were dreaming of a Naya Pakistan in which Babar and Rizwan open, and then Hassan Nawaz becomes their saviour from the middle order

This is a bigger issue for you.

I dont really care who plays now.

The fact that nawaz is dropped means the intent gang has lost all hope on him.

By intent gang im refering to the captain and coach

 

[globetrotter]

Only one negative point we have - Hardik is 2nd pacer and he is not that great

Have faith in Pakistan batting
