What's new

India (188/8) defeat Oman (167/4) by 21 runs in Match 12 of Asia Cup 2025

Pakistan crumble under pressure because they don't have the skills to perform under pressure. No psychologist can fix that.
Pakistan with a population of around 24 crore is practically a one sport nation when it comes to cricket. Yet the fact that they still struggle to find a strong squad of 15 skilled cricketers is beyond my understanding. I watched a few PSL highlights there’s clearly raw talent there young, quick fast bowlers and some promising batters. But when these players step onto the international stage they seem to get exposed. Opposition teams quickly figure them out and their growth appears to stagnate. It makes me wonder why is such a cricket crazy nation failing to consistently translate its talent into world-class performances
 
Backwas na Kar.

What difference would it make to anyone in this world if Abhishek is banned for chucking?
I don’t think he chucks. He has been playing since u-19 World Cup with almost the same action. Maybe 1-2 “special deliveries” you caught him chucking. He has a very orthodox old school action actually.
 
@JaDed

Shoaib Akthar and Murali got tested and cleared. Bumrah is yet to be tested. Until Bumrah gets tested (like Shoaib and Murali), his records should have an asterisk mark. :inti
 
Unfair as they came to see proper play, SKY didn't even bat
No sympathies for anyone who bought a ticket to India-Oman Asia cup match for the cricket lol. Anyways they go there for a nice family hangout/ picnic and hope they had a good time.
 
If i just wanted to see superstars i would watch that retired legend league or something..

They have played with a lot of attacking intent this Asia Cup without the results.

Maybe hacking it works on PSL pitches but in international cricket it fails?

39 degree temperature lol I would neverg gone to this match. Probably they went there to meet them more than seem them perform
 
Oman need 74 runs in 31 balls.

To be honest Oman has batted well here. If they had done this against other teams they could have won a game.
 
They would have probably scored 160- 170 on this pitch tops against Oman (the current side that is). This isn’t a flat road.It’s a slowish pitch.
Oh chall mama! Pakistan scored 160 against Oman in Dubai

They would easily get 200 here against them

They also got a lot of freebies and low intensity too. Anyway no taking credit away, well played. However other weaker teams would be more cautious and serious to avoid upset. India is almost in auto-pilot mode here and that too beta testing .

Maybe the old Pak team might (12-24 months ago) on this surface. Not the new team. You need to build a steady partnership for that and launch like Oman is doing it. India played too many shots.pak don’t have steady players and Oman’s best bowler is their opening pacer.

Your chatting breeze for no reason

The Pak of old? You mean the RizBar Pak??
 
True... They should have thrashed Oman and sent a strong message before heading into the Super Fours.
It's not about winning. I really don't like this attitude.

This is international cricket and fans comes to watch the hero .

Today sky hasn't comes for batting and in fielding he is showing too much attitude.

chigwam chaba ke muh chala rha hai.
