Pakistan (135/8) defeat Bangladesh (124/9) by 11 runs in a nail-biting encounter of the virtual semi-final of the Asia Cup 2025

[mango_bite77]

Saim is good early on should bowl him. Faheem type of bowlers don’t work with BD on this surface

Trying to his best not to face India on Sunday

 

[Prince of Dorne]

Bangladesh’s two best batsmen at the crease

And two of Pak's best batsmen are bowling against them

 

[Ummii]

Saif is a bit like Abdullah Shafique.

 

[Human786]

13/1 in 3

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Bowl Shaheen out here

 

[Usman Chadda]

Need early wickets

 

[Farabi]

this might be last game as coach for mike hesson

I hope not. He’s doing a good job reigniting Pakistani white ball cricket.
Failures will come but they should continue tweaking based on learnings from this tournament.

Remember we were losing to these teams and worse before Hesson anyway.

 

[RexRex]

Nerves, can BD hold theirs?

They can't play spin.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 12/1 (3 overs).

124 to win from 102 balls. BD need 2-3 big overs.

 

[Asif321]

Get Nawaz or Saim quick stop this Faheem drama

 

[RidiculousMan]

Where's the powerplay specialist bowler Saim?

 

[Devadwal]

Shaheen needs to bowl one more over

 

[Asif321]

Rauf to bowl . Hope it works

 

[RidiculousMan]

Get Nawaz or Saim quick stop this Faheem drama

Guy bowls cross seam with new ball

I’d keep hesson and sack Agha. I have seen some good things with hesson.

Agha it’s mainly just his batting. His captaincy isn’t anything to scream about either but I’m not into playing specialist captains.

 

[cricfan432]

Saif and tanzid are modern batsmen for bengladesh

 

[Asif321]

Stupid move to get Haris .

 

[RexRex]

Smoked him !

 

[ads101]

Wouldn’t have bowled Haris this early.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Time and time again. When will they learn, Rauf is not good in powerplay.

 

[mango_bite77]

Agha should be investigated for fixing. How on earth u dont bowl a spinner.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Saif. Need more.

 

[Asif321]

Agha with his weird moves .

 

[GoogleToggle]

Air Marshall Rauf into the attack

 

[mango_bite77]

Agha with his weird moves .

Questionable, should investigated

 

[Asif321]

Agha should be investigated for fixing. How on earth u dont bowl a spinner.

Saim was brilliant with new ball in Dubai instead he gives it to lord Faheem . Crappie captaincy

 

[cricfan432]

Why does he bowl short and off?

 

[Prince of Dorne]

This Saif kid looks half decent, probably because he is half Sri Lankan.

 

[mango_bite77]

4 spinners in the team, but u go with person who was never good with new ball.

 

[Asif321]

Brainless Agha . Rauf giving away all the momentum

 

[Hawkeye]

Time and time again. When will they learn, Rauf is not good in powerplay.

Rauf is never good, always loses matches in tournaments specially crucial ones.

Single handedly!!

 

[sweep_shot]

Need to rotate strikes better. Too many dot balls.

 

[RehanG]

Haris is brainless no idea where to bowl.

 

[m.shah]

Haris Rauf pure clown without any plan

 

[mango_bite77]

Saim was brilliant with new ball in Dubai instead he gives it to lord Faheem . Crappie captaincy

I am saying bro, should be investigated, I won't be surprised

 

[Asif321]

Agha

 

[mango_bite77]

Batter reaction suggests he nicked I guess

 

[imshally81]

Review time

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wasted review

 

[OldWarHorse]

That was a poor review

 

[m.shah]

Haris burns review too.

 

[amvbfm]

I just don't understand Agha and Hesson. They had a strategy of opening with a spinner which was working well. All of a sudden we have changed that when Saim is in the team for that very purpose otherwise based on batting alone Hasan Nawaz would be a better option. With such a small score why give them extra pace in the power play.

 

[mango_bite77]

6 inch gap between bat and ball

 

[Hellion]

Review wasted

 

[Asif321]

Stupid Agha bowling pacers when he already saw spin worked . Horrific

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Now thats a review!!

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan burn a review. Poor review.

BD - 23/1 (4 overs).

113 to win from 96 balls.

 

[imshally81]

Not out

 

[RexRex]

Bowl wide yorkers.. they're tough to get away.

 

[pillionrider]

1 Raufale has crashed. 3 to go

 

[Usman Chadda]

Good start for Bangladesh

 

[m.shah]

Good start for Tigers

 

[Deewana Mastana]

All the work undone by Rauf in that over lol

 

[globetrotter]

Whole Pakistan will blame third umpire if Pakistan loose this game

 

[Energy]

If we don't get Saif in the powerplay the match is gone.

 

[mango_bite77]

Haris burns review too.

Azich zalalat chaa behtar kaelketh hinz zalalte hote.

 

[Asif321]

What agha exactly trying to do ? Why got rauf when you have Saim Nawaz nd Abrar

 

[mesmerizer85]

Haris Rauf the "Run Machine"

 

[RexRex]

1 Raufale has crashed. 3 to go

Ooh nicely done.

 

[amvbfm]

Woeful

 

[Energy]

Shaheen you pathetic clown! Go on your mark man.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wasted run out opportunity

 

[OldWarHorse]

Comical

 

[Asif321]

Omg what a joke

 

[mango_bite77]

Shaheen with third

 

[sweep_shot]

Shaheen is bowling his 3rd over. Need to see him off.

 

[Hellion]

Damn it.

 

[GoogleToggle]

Fantastic situational awareness

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Saif is a bit like Abdullah Shafique.

lol ..Saif may just struggle on a bouncier pitch coz how he hold his bat which is fairly low and bottom dominated otherwise he is a great talent… love watching him bat … clean striking with good head position .. comes on top of the ball and hits straight

 

[Human786]

23/2

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

East or West .... Pakistan is Pakistan

 

[Deewana Mastana]

OUT

 

[Prince of Dorne]

Bhai yeh Agha ko koi Avacado khilao brain health ke liye. Sara din chewing gum khata rehta hai

 

[sweep_shot]

Run-out chance missed. LOL.

 

[mango_bite77]

Wrong player gone

 

[OldWarHorse]

Cornered tigers stuff

 

[RexRex]

Why are they slogging ?

 

[Nasty Naz]

lol these guys can't even do the basics in fielding... laughable team.

 

[m.shah]

What an opportunity missed

 

[Hellion]

Hahaha. Towhid out anyway. Bangladesh , you'll always suck.
