What's new

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

Which side will win the match between the arch-rivals?


  • Total voters
    58
  • Poll closed .
Pakistan and Lanka are under pressure . Now they can't lose any game otherwise they will be knockout.

I think Pakistan will beat Bangladesh and Lanka will beat Pakistan.

India will beat everyone's so Pakistan, Lanka and Bangladesh will have same point. NRR can be massive factor to qualify for final.

:kp
Depends on who wins toss and gets to chase
 
Teri phr jaali.

India is a day younger than Pakistan.:yk
Can I ask how old these people truly are?

I came on this forumn when I was 21 years old and im 25 now? At the time and even now is thought I'd be somewhat misplaced as people significantly older then me on this forumn would be educating me about the game and obviously I would have to adopt a respectful tone with elders?

Judging from comments like My grandma is Older is then Pakistan, I'm convinced 90% of the forumn is aged 12 to 15?
 
He'd be older then your country too.

Subcontinent =/= India. The country of India itself came into existent after Pakistan lol 🤣.

But now you'll give me some semantics about the history of the 5000 year old hindustan and how you cone from a long line of dumb@sses as a result.


Ahh yess the "subcontinent".

Oh the British East "Subcontinent" company of 1857.

Oh the "Quit subcontinent " movement of 1942..


How are you guys even real? 🤯
 
Just watched pak batting. Was 99% certain they'd lose. Need everything to go Paks way to beat india. Pak to play out of their skin and india to have a very bad day. 99% times india beats pak. Massive difference in skill levels. I dont understand how people believe pak can beat india.

For Pakistan 🇵🇰 to return to being a consistent top-tier cricket nation, the domestic cricket system has to be built as a pipeline — starting from schools and academies, leading up to clubs, strong first-class cricket, and then the PSL as a finishing school. Let’s break it down:

1. School & Grassroots System

Mandatory cricket at school level (like Australia and England): Build inter-school tournaments with PCB support.

Encourage age-group cricket (U13, U16, U19) nationwide with proper coaches and selectors present.

Partner with local governments to ensure cricket grounds are available in schools, especially in smaller towns (where Pakistan’s raw talent usually comes from).

2. Regional & Club Cricket

Revive the club culture (like in India’s Ranji and Australia’s grade cricket).

Allow district and regional tournaments with promotion/relegation to keep competitiveness alive.

Every talented player should be able to move from club → district → regional → domestic without politics blocking them.

3. Domestic First-Class Cricket

The 6-team model (2019–2023) made cricket professional but reduced opportunities for young players. The older departmental model had quantity but lacked competitiveness.

Best option: Hybrid system

8–10 regional teams (city/province based).

Departments (PIA, WAPDA, etc.) can act as sponsors/employers but not directly run teams.

Pay players well so domestic cricket is a career, not just a stepping stone.

Ensure quality pitches (less flat roads, more sporting wickets with bounce, seam, and spin help).

4. Academy System

National Cricket Academy (NCA) should be a high-performance hub, not just a training ground.

Every regional team should have its own academy linked with schools/clubs.

Focus on: fitness, mental toughness, fielding standards, and modern batting/bowling techniques (power-hitting, wrist-spin variations, death bowling).

5. Pakistan Super League (PSL)

PSL is already world-class but should be seen as a finishing school for talent.

Give uncapped domestic players more chances (like India’s IPL model).

Encourage franchises to invest in grassroots scouting and player development programs year-round.

6. Bridging Domestic → International

Central contracts should reward domestic performers, not just established players.

“A” team tours and shadow squads must be frequent, so young players experience foreign conditions early.

✅ Best Model for Pakistan:

Schools + Clubs → Regional/District → Strong Domestic (8–10 regions, hybrid support) → PSL (finishing school) → National Team

With academies and scouting at every step, ensuring no talent is lost.
Do you think we don't know how to use ChatGPT?
 
….. But no one else have fallen so much in the gutter like you have done mocking innocent victims and praising terrorism and not once, but many times.

Its people like you who give your religion and country a bad name

FWIW I remember @Major doing that during Pahalgam and I remember calling him out on it.
 
I don't know, I thought the total was fine. It was the highest first innings total in the tournament so far on this ground. India and SKY looked under pressure for much of that innings, which led to the bad fielding too. For me, Pakistan lost the game with that Abhishek-Gill partnership, who were just too good. Pakistani bowlers did not seem like they had any answers. And once you let them get to 106-0 in 10, the game is effectively over. Questions need to be asked of all the bowlers except Rauf and to an extent, Faheem. But at the same time you have to tip your hat to Abhishek. It was just sensational batting. Even if Pakistan had 190, it would have been chased down.
I just think it was probably the worst bowling I’ve seen in a while and some very odd decisions in giving Saim more than one over.

Really poor bowling from Shaheen and Abrar today - very poor.

Rauf was good but I wish he trusted his pace more. We saw that in his last couple of overs but not enough in the first couple of overs. Slower balls are good if they are reduced to 20% of your output. I think he bowler 4-5 slower balls int he first over. Poor awareness

How are you guys even real? 🤯
How are you guys even real? 🤯

Now listen to me very carefully. Go to you mom and dad, and say these words. You have to say these exact words mkay.

Ask them "Mommy, Daddy, How was i born?"

And they will tell you how humans come into existence. Now ik you are only 11 years old, but I do think you need to have a talk to learn how we humans came into being.
 
I think PAK played out of their skins today but came up short against a fairly listless India.

That gap is a little difficult to bridge currently
Nah we were horrible after 10 overs during batting. Then we dropped catches and missed run out chances as well. Both teams had a bad day but Indian openers made the difference.
 
Feel sad. India weren’t at the best today and we had made the right decisions we would have won this match.

We shouldn’t have dropped Hasan, shouldn’t have sent in Agha and some of the bowling changes were poor.

It wasn’t like usual that we got completely outplayed in terms of skill. India gave us a chance with their bowling and fielding today. We’re at fault because the decisions we made before and during the game.
Sorry.. accept it's your skills..don't blame it on decisions..your top order had explosive start and still only able to manage 120 strike rate before losing their wicket.. india had dropped many catches and still you cannot benefit much.. Salman Ali Agha is your captain who doesn't know how to bat in T20..you had copied the same left right combo which India does and still couldn't succeed..Your bowling decisions weren't poor, your bowling itself is poor..
 
Pakistan definitely gave some back today!

Maybe according to DG ISPR test books but
all neutral historians would say India as a civilization is about a 5000 years older than Pakistan. :ROFLMAO:
The civilisation that you are referring to included The races that we see today. Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Indians, Africans, Chinese, Muslims, Arabs and many others all came from that civilisation.

Pakistan isn’t some magical race that came into being in 1947.

If you genuinely believe that to be tue case then I stand by what I said, you came from a very proud lineage of Dumb@sses
 
They were on it today!
I just want India Pakistan cricket to go back to these days. After today and the handshake drama in the last game, it seems like it will.

But Pakistan will look pretty stupid if they keep losing. Nobody expects them to dominate India, but atleast get the odd win every now and then

No come back as expected and personal attacks on mommy daddy like a 12 year old girl. Never change!

Even in these days it wasn’t as spicy as people are making it out to be.

The Senior pros/legends of the sides never engaged in verbals. Both sides respected the legends

This is another level of animosity.

First look at your comments and your own personal attacks for once before questioning me.

Secondly I did not insult you, I actually answered your question. You asked how I am real. I told you ask your mom and dad how humans are created?

I think I answered the question. The reason I cant tell you the answer directly, is cause we have 11 to 12 year olds on this forumn like you and @Devadwal and I'd like to keep this a secret before you guys hit puberty okay.
 
Honestly I genuinely think it's time I get off PP for a while. Like if every thread is going to be filled with lunatics and theirs zero moderation anymore minus simple warnings that dont do zilch then what is the point?

Ik I've crossed the line dozens of times as well so I am being hypocritical but I've consistently seen the quality of the forumn go down and that too in a span of 2 years since I've been here.

Lately it's transpired into a war zone. A majority of trolls here can't even speak English? Their so bad at communicating that even while they are insulting and trolling nonsensically I still have to take 5 mins to simply understand what they have stated?

Not to mention that I'm genuinely confused about the ages of some posters on this forumn. We have people like @Devadwal claiming he's as old as time itself, and invented live streaming in 2007.

If you guys are seriously 35 to 45+ and 10 to 20+ years older then me, yet behaving like random reddit or discord 10 year olds then genuinely shame on you.

Its come to the point that even I who usually has the stamina and energy to give it back, can't possibly continue and entertain this.
careful, the door swings back.
 
Naqvi needs to resign

And Babar and rizwan need to be reinstated as captain and vice captain and back into the team in all 3 formats .
 
India was well below par. This rejigging of batting order with few out of form players has given us a couple of scratchy games. Poor fielding is one thing. Also Bumrah not reacting to the pitch was a total shock. He usually identifies it fast. HE bowls like he doesn't want to. Outbowled by Dube.
 
Delulus like you who don't understand English , twist contort reality and use hatred to fuel ur daily lives belong to no religion and no country. Since the basic single quality that precedes all this is humanity.

No where did i post anything about any religion be it yours or mine...when i just talked about basic humanity.

The one quality which gunks like Major Saigol etc etc lack in full...

Keep barking ...
I love how you insult @Major Communication skills yet speak a sentence that I don't think even Shakespeare can denounce its meaning.

Newsflash Hinglish is not English.

Well he's not a particularly smart bowler, and not someone who possesses the ability to outfox the batsman. When he does well, it's usually on a pitch with enough pace and bounce. Eventhough he bowled with more awareness of the conditions today there were still moments where a smarter bowler would have done better and gotten a vital breakthrough.

Too many full tosses today, wonder if he has stopped bowling in nets, he was known to practice a lot before

It was a good pitch to bat and 171 was a subpar score. Pakistan still played all the cards wrong and didn’t take advantage of the mistakes committed by the Indians. Too many tactical errors in the game that allowed India to get back into a winning position. The captaincy was horrendous to say the least.

Yeah we were particularly underwhelming today. A better partnership after the fall of Saim and we could have been in trouble. They let us off the hook here
 
Of course they did. Anyone who mocks innocent victims of terrorism gives their religion and country a bad name.

Its exactly what both Hinduism and Islam teaches against. And then these guys pretend to be religious and take God's name.

You're trying to reason with faceless idiots hiding behind a computer screen.

While I have an issue with the Indian team essentially making the Pakistan cricket team a symbol of terrorists by refusing to shake hands and SKY's comments in the last game, what happened to your people was disgusting and I wish that was something that could be universally agreed upon.

So true people are not realising this indian side bullied england taken them to cleaners what chance does pak have against them sorry no chance there this team is just too good there is reason they are number 1
 
Sorry there is banter and sometimes it gets heated which is somewhat acceptable but mocking religions is a step too far.

Casually mocking Islamic sayings is crossing that line.

Its clear to see those doing it and those supporting it like @RyanRyan10. @gazza619 nicely asked you to get an education but it seems like you instead went to BJP university.

You guys won, congratulations, but it says a lot that your first reaction is to mock religions and justify it.
Have you seen the FB comments, ganges gutter level filth..?!?

This is what they are really like.. no wonder no one has any sympathy for them..
 
I think that our batting is very promising, unfortunately we were not perfect and missed out on another 30 runs or so.

And yes Salman didn’t have the best game but he’s much bigger improvement over his predecessors and supports Pakistani talent across the board & not just his best mates. However, if I do have some sympathy for him, it’s our bowling, honestly it’s pretty toothless. We lack the X-Factor in pace & spin.

Who is going to be our next Aamir or Umar Gul?

Where is the next Saeed Ajmal or Shahid Afridi?

It’s such a damn shame because Pakistan had the resources under Babar/Riz, but they completely ruined our pace attack & never managed the stock well, our spin in LOI’s hasn’t been the best either.

Unfortunately, T20I’s are a young mans sport & it’s not right giving Nauman Ali or Sajid Khan a call up, but these two are the best spinners in Pakistan across the board.

We will need to keep faith in Abrar & Sufiyan for now, because they are getting to work in a much better environment & they need these games & tournaments to get better.
 
I decided to come back on the cricket forum after a long time and seeing the kind of vitriol that is being spread here is sickening. I find indians revolting but posters on the Pakistan side are equally nauseating. Low quality, low intellect highly emotional individuals. This website needs better moderation.

You’d been hyping Abhishek and Indian spinners for quite some time and this tournament proved they are indeed on an altogether different level.
 
Are you asking me out on a date 🤨. Sorry I dont swing that way, I'm straight.

What sort of a normal human would even think of doing that. to hate filled contorted person like you ?

Id rather bust you in an online spellathon / essay game just the way my team busts yours like a pithy ragdoll.

That's true. But there was still some spice because of players like Gambhir, Afridi, Shoaib, Harbhajan....But for the last how ever many years it has felt like Pakistani cricketers admire Indian cricketers too much. There's nothing wrong with admiration. There is alot to admire about a player like Virat Kohli, but there is no need to do such a public display of fanboyism as Babar and some of the PAK players have done sometimes. Usually right after a thrashing. Whatever happened to players going to each other's locker-rooms post-match without the presence of cameras?

At any rate, we won't be seeing be seeing anymore of that camaraderie for the foreseeable future.
 
Pakistan came back well. India were 105/0 after 9.4 overs.

Pakistan's NRR wasn't damaged much which is good.

Pakistan now have to beat SL and BD. Both are winnable games for them.

A lot of them are lot older than you think.

Being anonymous online can bring out the worst of us but Indians are renowned for this world over. I have already mentioned the reason for this.
 
This is second time I am seeing someone making fun of a religious text. You need to be careful about this.

There are aliens here like Major who are trying to **** off Indians by telling them we will remove your pants and you know what will happen next.

and imagine this guy Major doesnt even get banned or blocked from spewing his usual anti human vitriol.

Imagine the mentality of this guy Major. he has no sympathy for those murdered in Pahalgam ... and of those who are liking his posts or defending him.

I first came to this forum back in 2009 or 2010. At that time, it was mostly boomers here with some millennials. No Gen Z then as they were kids.

Last 4-5 years, more Gen Z posters started to post. Demographics and vibe have changed here. It is a new era for PP. :inti

I sometimes feel like a grandpa here even though I am a millennial. Many young posters now.
 
dekh bhai ..PP mei exact


Your fear of getting whooped in a battle over English skills doing all the talk here haan gal gal ? chickened out already ..?? cock a doodle doo or cock glug glug glug goo ?
2 grown adults engaging in a spelling bee contest with the insults cock a doodle doodle being peddled as insults?

Oh god, I really really really need to distance myself from such idiots from now on.
 
So let me break down the chronology:
  1. India thrash Pakistan on Sept 14.
  2. No handshake. Dressing room door slammed. Captain dedicates win to Indian Army.
  3. PCB gets triggered - demands Pycroft’s removal.
  4. ICC laughs it off.
  5. PCB writes again: “Remove Pycroft or we boycott UAE game!”
  6. Players locked in hotel, captain ducks pre-match presser.
  7. Emergency meeting: Naqvi + Ramiz + Sethi.
  8. Suddenly Naqvi tweets: “All good now, Pycroft apologized.” 🙄
  9. PCB releases a muted video of “apology” 🤣
  10. Pycroft stays as referee.
  11. Pak qualify for Super 4 to meet India again on 21st.
  12. Captain AGAIN cancels PC. Motivational coach hired. Naqvi + Aqib fly in to “boost morale.”
  13. Outcome? India beat them again, same Pycroft in charge, no handshake once more.

From “fake bravery” to “mute apology video” to losing again — this has to be the most humiliating week in cricketing history for any team.


:klopp
 
In the end, India won fair and square. Pakistan team is way behind the top 5 teams right now. No point of Pakistanis engaging Indians in a banter when there’s no competition between them. Not a single player in the team who has secured his playing position.
