India (202/5) & (3/0) defeat Sri Lanka (202/5) & (2/2) in a thrilling super over encounter in the last match of Super Four of Asia Cup 2025

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Target of just 3 runs lol

 

[MP2011]

What great bowling by Arshdeep!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Arshdeep following my prescription of wide yorker

INdia needs a lot of match practice before world cup. Arshdeep is not getting enough time. Bumrah shouldn't have played at all in Asia cup.

 

[GlobalCric]

Where is that guy who scored beautiful 100

taking a nap already...

 

[IAJ]

Well bowled. But stupid decisions by SL.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

What ?!

SL should've won off final bowl!

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

We should send Arshdeep and Varun as openers now

 

[prash88]

So Arshdeep is the second best pacer for India in T20s after Bumrah

 

[jnaveen1980]

So Arshdeep is the second best pacer for India in T20s after Bumrah

He is one of the best in the world. Problem is he was not given enough game time. They randomly use him

 

[saabir]

Arshdeep is such a good death bowler. He is just out of touch ..he will deliver under pressure imo

I told u so these Srilankans are bunch of jokers..under pressure their brain fade easily ..so many mistakes they made in this match ..

 

[MP2011]

INdia needs a lot of match practice before world cup. Arshdeep is not getting enough time. Bumrah shouldn't have played at all in Asia cup.

Yeah, no point playing Bumrah in this tournament

 

[RexRex]

Interesting sequence of events lol.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Amusing sequence of events

This umpire is a real dunce

 

[prash88]

He is one of the best in the world. Problem is he was not given enough game time. They randomly use him

He ll be needed in Indian pitches in T20 WC where 200 scores aren't safe and death bowling is super important..

 

[BlackstoneRock]

What’s going on … this is pure comical

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Wow, what a decision!
I never even knew about this rule. Gotta appreciate the umpires and Shanaka for that awareness.

 

[pillionrider]

Sometimes you overthink T20 cricket. Sending some randoms when you have someone who has just belted a 100.

Also, listening to Manjrekar chirping like an unfed baby bird is worse than watching Gambhir's coaching gems.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Who is that clown umpire?

 

[GlobalCric]

SUPER OVER showed the power of Indian team...this is what India does when they are against the wall...great bowling Arshdeep..He is going to be part of the team in the Final now.

 

[Major]

Why wasnt the match over ?

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

What’s the matter with Cricinfo? Can’t make head or tail of the commentary

 

[BlackstoneRock]

And now he gets him out again … pure joke of a game

 

[Champ_Pal]

Lanka choked in the super over.

 

[MP2011]

Great over by Arshdeep

Pity he couldn't do that in the main game

 

[IAJ]

Gautam seems unhappy with the super over performance, strange guy

 

[gazza619]

I would happily send Agha and Talat to chase this if it was Pakistan chasing.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Umpire wanted to go home early.

 

[pillionrider]

Gambhir is so shameless, he looks at Arshdeep bowling gold nuggets and remains calm and composed when he should be publicly chappalling himself.

 

[Josh]

Wth ..Fixing is well alive

 

[MP2011]

Gautam seems unhappy with the super over performance, strange guy

He is a clown, always have that same facial expression

 

[Cover Drive Six]

After putting in all that effort while chasing a huge total, Sri Lanka suddenly played like a club-level team in the Super Over 2/2 in just 0.5 balls. Easily one of the worst Super Over performances in T20I history.

Kudos to Arshdeep though.

 

[psyoptica]

SUPER OVER showed the power of Indian team...this is what India does when they are against the wall...great bowling Arshdeep..He is going to be part of the team in the Final now.

Batting first is hard and chasing team usually has the advantage. Sri Lanka also for some strange reason decided to not use their best batsman

 

[gazza619]

Great over by Arshdeep

Pity he couldn't do that in the main game

Plz dont give team modi any ideas.

 

[GlobalCric]

Srilanka thought they are still short of 2 run to win the match so they end up scoring only 2 runs in the super over...lol

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Arsh is great at the death

Well judged.

 

[JaDed]

Gautam seems unhappy with the super over performance, strange guy

He will be happy if he was selected for 2013 CT.. so yeah he is never gonna be happy

 

[BlackstoneRock]

After all the trouble and brilliance finally the target is 3 off 1 over … what a lol

 

[RexRex]

Batting first is hard and chasing team usually has the advantage. Sri Lanka also for some strange reason decided to not use their best batsman

Somebody mentioned here his foot is injured.

 

[saabir]

Lol..looks like Lankans have decided they are going to score only 2 in super over whatever be the circumstances

 

[Champ_Pal]

India should send Varun and Arshdeep to score the winning runs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Srilanka played out of their skin thrashing Indian seamers upfront.

 

[psyoptica]

Somebody mentioned here his foot is injured.

Ah i see. Unlucky for Sri Lankans

 

[GlobalCric]

Batting first is hard and chasing team usually has the advantage. Sri Lanka also for some strange reason decided to not use their best batsman

you can't discount brilliant bowling by Arshdeep.. SL scored one of the lowest score of super over so no excuse..

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

We should send Arshdeep and Varun as openers now

India should send Varun and Arshdeep to score the winning runs.

 

[GlobalCric]

Send Arshdeep and Rana for batting and show the depth of the Indian batting! LOL

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Surya and Gill to chase this mammoth total of 3 runs.

 

[MP2011]

Clown Sky is one of the bat

 

[Prince of Dorne]

Lmao Surya wants to score the winning Runs

 

[pillionrider]

He will be happy if he was selected for 2013 CT.. so yeah he is never gonna be happy

“I have spent 4 IPL seasons with Gautam Gambhir. He was a terrific cricketer, a smart captain and a man who could make the most heart warming gestures, like handing over a Man of the Match award to a junior player who he thought equally deserved the award,” Bhattacharya wrote in a Facebook post.

“But he could also never get over the feeling that life had denied him his rightful place at the top of the Indian cricket pantheon. And that position went first to Dhoni and Sehwag and then Virat.”

“It’s a cautionary tale, when a former India captain with a stellar record, enough and more money and lots of recognition and fame still continually feels he is hard done by. And cannot get over it, years after giving up the game,” he added.

Joy Bhattacharya - former KKR director

 

[BlackstoneRock]

lol surya guy coming out to bat so that everyone feel he also contributed in this game apart from making faces and chewing gum

 

[jnaveen1980]

Surya are you nuts?

 

[Champ_Pal]

So Surya will score the winning runs and raise his bat.

 

[saabir]

Arshdeep should play the final game against India in place of Axar. In a high scoring game Bumrah and Arshdeep are needed in the last 5 overs consider pakistan lower order is in good hitting form .Nawaz , Faheem and Shaheen can slog big in the death overs

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Manjrekar: "Surya leading from the front."

Bruh they need 3 runs to win

 

[jnaveen1980]

Arrogant SKY.

 

[GlobalCric]

Surya and Gill to chase this mammoth total of 3 runs.

this will help Surya to regain his form and provide much needed practice for the big game!

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Ffs Cricinfo commentary frozen at 0.5 and not out.

What’s going on bhai log?

 

[pillionrider]

lol imagine if Surya gets out here

 

[Champ_Pal]

Surya are you nuts?

Only 2 runs to score. Can’t get out. Very smart this Son of Sun.

 

[gazza619]

Target of 3 in 6 balls and captain Surya decides to win the game. What a champ.

 

[GlobalCric]

What happened to Cricinfo? Is match over?

 

[prash88]

Anyone want a super over on Sunday?

 

[BlackstoneRock]

lol Manjrekar hyping sky another Mumbaikar …for a push in the cover…

 

[RexRex]

What's Manjrekar getting so excited for lol ?

 

[pillionrider]

Manjrekar actually praising Surya for chasing 2 runs

 

[Prince of Dorne]

Wow wow wow Surya just did a Dhoni here, did y'all see that?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Only 2 runs to score. Can’t get out. Very smart this Son of Sun.

He should give that chance to his ace batsman.

 

[JaDed]

Bragging rights for SKy super over main jitaya.. someone drop him

 

[GlobalCric]

Surya finished with 300 strike rate! AMAZINGGGGGG

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Surya played a match winning inning of 3 runs.

 

[BDfanforever]

Great fight from SRL overall. T20 and Super Fours format is a game of margin.

 

[jnaveen1980]

India tried everything to lose. SL treid everything to win. Opposite has happened. What do you know.

 

[MP2011]

Ffs Cricinfo commentary frozen at 0.5 and not out.

What’s going on bhai log?

It's working fine for me

 

[JaDed]

lol imagine if Surya gets out here

Ah would had been amazing, but the prince of soft runs prevails

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This is some Hulk Hogan type s**t from Surya lol

I gotta go over brother

 

[Ahmed216]

Sometimes you overthink T20 cricket. Sending some randoms when you have someone who has just belted a 100.

Nissanka had cramps since 12th over

 

[GlobalCric]

Arshdeep should play the final game against India in place of Axar. In a high scoring game Bumrah and Arshdeep are needed in the last 5 overs consider pakistan lower order is in good hitting form .Nawaz , Faheem and Shaheen can slog big in the death overs

Axar is an allrounder and much needed bat..can't be dropped

 

[jnaveen1980]

Nissanka My Man.. Amazing century. Most recently he scored an outstanding 132 in 4th innings at Oval to win a match.

 

[JaDed]

Best game of Asia cup lol , clowns

 

[MP2011]

Manjrekar actually praising Surya for chasing 2 runs

Clown praising a clown
