India (51/0) crowned champions of Asia Cup 2023 after crushing Sri Lanka (50) by 10 wickets

[jattafridi]

5 down very embarrassing

 

[boomboomcheema]

Crowd deserve a refund..

 

[kingusama92]

This is brutal

 

[Mamoon]

India’s pace attack is better than Pakistan’s. Pakistan is just better at creating hyping and making big statements.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

12/5 it says

 

[Nado_]

This is just brutal , Sri Lanka getting murdered in front of their home crowd

 

[GLORY OF '92]

India are favourites for the WC.

 

[Asif321]

What joke is this

 

[kron]

Bumrah in this form is the best in the world . Period

Class player.
Oh my word. Siraj is on another level too.

This bowling attack of India is world class. If their third bowler was good then it could be the best but shami is not the same player anymore so I would say Australia and England are slightly ahead. India Pakistan and SA on par.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Siraj is bowling with venom. He has been one of the best new ball bowlers going aroaund in recent times. that scrambled seam deliveries are hard to pick by many batsmen. Not just Lankans. Others also struggled. SA for instance.

 

[PassionForPak]

Keep in mind that lowest score for ODI cricket is 35...

While same for Asia cup is 87...

Both are a distinct possibility as for now

 

[jattafridi]

I predicted wc final india Vs Australia winner India

 

[kingusama92]

To be fair, they are playing some terrible shots.

You know the ball is moving and you're playing such expansive drives. It's all a bit silly and clearly they're rattled.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

And all said this is going to be a spinners pitch? or is it just terrible batting by SL....
but that catch byJadz was diamond ....crazy

 

[kron]

What is this nonsense? Sl players are all chummy and laughing it off like the scoreboard isn't humiliating.

 

[IAJ]

Pakistan already got humiliated by india. Bangladesh would have better team for final against india

Nope, BD lost easily against Pakistan.
Pakistan have humiliated India alot of times and India have trashed Pak as well, but we know that things change quickly in these matches.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Waiting for match fixing threads and discussions run galore on the forum and Pakistan youtubers sphere..

 

[Nado_]

Will Sri Lanka make it to 50?

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Keep in mind that lowest score for ODI cricket is 35...

While same for Asia cup is 87...

Right now Kusal Mendis and Shanaka are in, if these two go out for small runs then the record of 35 has a strong chance of being broken

 

[IAJ]

Siraj bhai on fire Ma sha Allah

 

[kron]

Will india play prasidh or shami as the third pacer? Cause if they do then I would say they are only slightly behind aus and England. On par with us. This is breathtaking from bumrah and siraj.

 

[IAJ]

Will Sri Lanka make it to 50?

At this rate 25 all out lol

 

[Devadwal]

Shanka is always perform against us so backing him to take srilanka score around 200

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

India’s pace attack is better than Pakistan’s. Pakistan is just better at creating hyping and making big statements.

not a popular opinion here offcourse.

 

[King_Babar]

India might have to chase less than 50 here.

 

[Rajdeep]

Nope, BD lost easily against Pakistan.
Pakistan have humiliated India alot of times and India have trashed Pak as well, but we know that things change quickly in these matches.

TBH, BD lost against Pak in Lahore.

Pak-BD would have been a much closer encounter in slow SL conditions.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They should give respect to bowling for 6 overs. But i have to say they have no clue which way the ball is moving as both these guys move the ball both ways at good pace from a good length.

 

[jattafridi]

Don’t worry Sri Lankan fans big partnership is coming 120 runs

 

[Devadwal]

Has anyone Open any Thread about investigation of this match ?? Surely there will be a thread .

 

[kron]

South africa has coetzee, rabada a bit past his best, nortje. Jansen isn't a good odi bowler.

Ngidi is medium pace now.

Pecking order for SA would be nortje, coetze, rabada and then jansen and ngidi.

Their third option is quite good. I would put them on par with Pakistan and India too. As a bowling attack.

 

[kingusama92]

Pakistan already got humiliated by india. Bangladesh would have better team for final against india

Pakistan was fine in the first game though. Yes, second game they got smashed.

The third game would have been a nice finale to wrap up the tournament compared to what we're seeing right now.

 

[PassionForPak]

Nope, BD lost easily against Pakistan.
Pakistan have humiliated India alot of times and India have trashed Pak as well, but we know that things change quickly in these matches.

India treats BD as easy opponents and treats

not a popular opinion here offcourse.

Indian pace attack is more consistent than Pakistan but Pakistan has actual pace bowlers who can bowl real fast

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

keep bowling the fast bowlers

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Has anyone Open any Thread about investigation of this match ?? Surely there will be a thread .

yeah waiting for that !! but we still need to win the game before that

 

[IAJ]

India’s pace attack is better than Pakistan’s. Pakistan is just better at creating hyping and making big statements.

No doubt about that, is main koi sharam ki baat nahi, they are better in all facets.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Waiting for match fixing threads and discussions run galore on the forum and Pakistan youtubers sphere..

If we had lost to SL in the super 4 game, the internet servers would have melted with the usual conspiracy theories....

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is test match length from Siraj. Hits that channel consistently.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Sri Lanka should have been more circumspect. On these pitches even 220-230 are challenging totals, and there is the pressure factor of final today. They should have given due respect to our opening quicks instead of expansive drives. Shocking capitulation till now.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

India treats BD as easy opponents and treats

Indian pace attack is more consistent than Pakistan but Pakistan has actual pace bowlers who can bowl real fast

All of them bowl 135 after 4 overs whereas Indians are 140K even at the back end of the test match.

 

[Zerotohero]

Few years back no one would have believed if told that Indian pace attack caused the score of 12/5.
How times have changed credit to Bharat Arun

 

[Rajdeep]

Bowled em...absolutely owned Shanaka there

 

[jnaveen1980]

I thought it was a featherbed looking at zero grass.

 

[Devadwal]

Superb .6 down

 

[MP2011]

5-for for Siraj

 

[kingusama92]

Geez.

This is hilariously bad.

 

[IAJ]

TBH, BD lost against Pak in Lahore.

Pak-BD would have been a much closer encounter in slow SL conditions.

Yeah but that we will never know. BD have good spinners though and Pak players can’t play spin (or even pacers for that matter)

 

[Nado_]

Excellent bowling but some ridiculous batting, chasing out swinging balls etc no straight bats

 

[vprasanna83]

What a ball ! Got him . 6/12

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was ripper of a delivery. 5 for 4 Siraj. Unplayable. Bowling with 4 slips

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Mohammed Siraj 9-fer?

 

[kron]

I

India’s pace attack is better than Pakistan’s. Pakistan is just better at creating hyping and making big statements.

Clearly India's main 2 bowlers are better but shami is old and prasidh is new. So Pakistan's third bowler is better than India's. 4th would be between faheem and pandya so pandya is better.

Oh my word another one.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Swing masterclass by Siraj.

 

[Bhaijaan]

5 wickets for Siraj.

He’s destroyed Sri Lanka in matter of 5 mins.

This is unreal stuff from the young lad

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

u gotta be jokinn.....
5 ver for siraj....MOM material already...
this is just the 6 ov...jeez...
this has to be a record for fastest fiver...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Excellent bowling but some ridiculous batting, chasing out swinging balls etc no straight bats

If it is a banana swing you can leave it. But both these guys swing just enough to catch them off guard

 

[Nado_]

I can’t think of a match between two test playing nations where the match was literally lost in the first 5 overs

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

That was an awesome ball !!!! wow !!!

 

[jattafridi]

Unbelievable performance thank god it’s not Pakistan batting

 

[boomboomcheema]

More shame on Pakistan for losing to this gully team of Lankans.

 

[jnaveen1980]

In recent times Deepak Chahar and Arshdeep reduced South Africa to 12/5 in India with crazy swing bowling.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Sri Lanka has been thrown out of this game by Siraj alone. Excellent bowling by him. Srilanka is 6 down for 12

 

[kingusama92]

The ball is moving and they're playing shots like a tailender would.

Just leave everything outside off for a few overs and deadbat the rest.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Pakistan should have won against Sri Lanka the other night, bad luck in the penultimate ball. This has become a joke of a final.

 

[Nado_]

If it is a banana swing you can leave it. But both these guys swing just enough to catch them off guard

Yes but you’re already lost some wickets and you’re trying to playing expansive drives . And some of those balls are pitching outside off and they are still chasing them. Play straight play with soft hands and see off the damn spell

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

I can’t think of a match between two test playing nations where the match was literally lost in the first 5 overs

Pakistan vs Australia in Dubai.. Pakistan were bowled out for 53 and 59.

Oh my word another one.

Shami at his peak is better than Boom and Siraj. He is india's ODI legend with amazing strike rates. Siraj has surged ahead in the last one year.

 

[Rajdeep]

I wish Pakistan was in finals and we were doing this to them. Matches against SL just doesn't get me excited

 

[Devadwal]

Yaar ab soch rha Pakistan hi hota Sri Lanka ki bajaya final m. Maja ata

Siraj is more consistent in his line and length than Shami is

 

[FearlessRoar]

Abhorrent shocking. I am out of words , Srilanka 16/6

 

[sam_ahm]

"Isku bolte miyan bowler, Maut daal diya hamara pattha" That's how we say it in Hyderabadi!!

So good to see Siraj, our local boy, do so well!!!

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

For me the plays of the game so far were the catch by jadz, and that ball by Siraj for 5th wicket....just amazing...

 

[Mamoon]

The Asia Cup has been a bigger disaster than the 2018 one. Pakistan’s arrogance backfired massively on both occasions but this is unreal stuff.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

For me the plays of the game so far were the catch by jadz, and that ball by Siraj for 5th wicket....just amazing...

and also KL' s catch to get 1srt wicket

 

[kron]

Just keep playing pace.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Muhammad Siraj 5 wickets in just 3 overs

 

[Bhaijaan]

Mohammed Siraj 9-fer?

It’s on

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

"Isku bolte miyan bowler, Maut daal diya hamara pattha" That's how we say it in Hyderabadi!!

So good to see Siraj, our local boy, do so well!!!

i remember once VVS Laxman interview in which he said about his coach or friend who commented once :"kya soot dia miyan, bole to 4minara hila daala"

 

[FearlessRoar]

This performance we wanted from Pakistani pace trio
