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

Babar and Rizwan would have hit 23 ball 50s here

:ROFLMAO:
In 20+ games with the Riz-Babar duo, they often looked timid against Bumrah, Kuldeep, and company. Now that they’re out of the side, we keep getting reminded of them.

But today’s knock by Farhan really stands out — probably the best innings by a Pakistani in recent memory, considering the occasion and the way he took on Bumrah on the big stage. You’d have to go back to Fakhar’s 2017 Champions Trophy final to find something comparable.
 
All SKY had to do was take singles and see the side cross the line. But he went for his trademark legside stuff.

Very poor from SKY.
 
I don't understand how a cricket match can generate so much animosity.

How old is everyone here?

And doesn't everyone have lives outside this inconsequential entertainment for a few hours?
Some people lack mental maturity.

I have seen some hateful comments here from Indians and Pakistanis.

At what point do you finally grow up
 
Good to see that aggressive body language from Faheem despite getting hit.

Less talented teams should always be aggressive when playing superior sides.

Good fight. Keep it up.
 
We take him more seriously than Bhaag Viru Bhaag who is actually a troll from Bangladesh and tries hard to prove that he is an Indian.
I don't wanna get into a beef between you too.

However do let your hatred aside for once. Devad is a racist troll who attacks Pakistani left and right, to top it off he is even more active then I am as a poster lol.

Name one Pakistani poster he doesnt attack 24/7. He's the sole reason I started attacking all of you. Think about it.

A one year war due to one person.
 
Credit to Sharma today, delivered when there would had been plans against him and played good cricket.
They didn’t bowl according to plan to this guy. He gets stuck against good length into his body against the pacers, and we fed him rubbish short and wide to free his arms.

Murdered spin tonight though, as most spinners get carted in Dubai in the second innings.
 
So Pakistan watched medium paced Dube take wickets and dry up runs, yet didn't bowl medium paced Faheem until the game is virtually lost.

And we also have Talat another medium pacer who probably won't get to bowl. It's the lack of common sense killing our cricket
 
We need these games against the best to get better for the future, especially when we actually want to improve and give players the opportunity to develop. A few tweaks to the batting today & we could have had an imposing total.

The bowling is a tad dimensional, especially with someone like Shaheen who is meant to be leader of the pack, but we should have backed our specialist spinners on this pitch, especially the leggies considering the low bounce.

India have the resources, players & structure but their tactics today have been spot on.

But I back this Pakistan side till the end because they will keep trying to play modern T20I cricket, there will be many hick-ups along the way but I rather this then give players too much power and have a toxic dressing room environment designed to cripple Pakistan’s future and more suited talent.
 
Lucky wicket...The dumb bowler did not deserve it. It was due to the slow nature of the wicket which fools were unable to utilize
 
Silly at the end

nonetheless high risk batters are designed to finish like this some day.Great innings anyway
 
Abhishek gone. SKY and Abhishek both gone trying to smack PAK bowlers all the way to Pindi.
SKY's shot was pretty brainless. Didn't try to take the measure of the pitch, just went about playing his natural game. Good thing they were 106-1 in 10 so it didn't have any effect on the match
 
Out but Abhishek's done his job.

First time I'm watching him and looks a no nonsense T20 batsman. Not worried about aesthetics or pretty technique - just see ball, hit ball.

Must be frightening facing him on a flat pitch.
