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

[hassan918]

That was excellent review taken by Bangladesh.

 

[JaDed]

How dumb is he if you know you are out of form why the hell you still go for shots early on . Seems a mental midget too

I understand your anger.. but maybe he is just too raw right now..

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

I guess @Rana is trusting the process today

 

[GoogleToggle]

Bcci trying their best to help Pakistan by paying off umpires! Such a large heart

#nopoliticswithsport

 

[Mamoon]

But but but Agha has good intentions

 

[Ali Active]

so will pakistan win today ?

 

[Boyka]

Just got back from work, what is this

 

[jnaveen1980]

Chewing gum didn't help. Tournament strike rate of 79 lol

 

[saabir]

Are they going to cross 100 ??? Looks unlikely

 

[Usman Chadda]

Less than 100 ?

Yep

 

[karthikc]

C'mon Afridi...use those long levers and play a blinder

 

[Vikram1989]

Best batsmen at the crease

 

[OldWarHorse]

Pakistan best batsman is in. Real batting starts now

 

[khyberlion]

Decent knock by Salman who plays for the team. Improvement in his sr it's gone from 73 to 74.

 

[mominsaigol]

Did any of my predictions work in Asia cup 🫩

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan will be lucky to get to 100 from here .

 

[mango_bite77]

Rizzu will make a comeback after asia cup so will Babar.

That's 100% a guarantee now

Who do you blame for this ?

 

[castortroy]

Lol sending in afridi who is the biggest mental midget.

The guy can't bat

 

[sweep_shot]

Shaheen has been promoted up the order. Interesting move.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Outstanding stuff from.BD So far

 

[Ali Active]

Agha talat will be dropped

agha should step up and drop himself on the final

 

[Asif321]

Babar needs to be batting at 3 . Rizwan I’m not sure fits in t20 line up as long as he wants to bat at 4

 

[Mamoon]

Agha should be jailed in Adiala for claiming that Pakistan will play modern T20 cricket only to bat at a SR of 80 himself

 

[daytrader]

The strike rates of our batters are not good enough at this level.

Yaar yeh pehle 20 over toh khel len

 

[SherWaqar]

These guys are beyond embarassing

 

[light]

man, what a day pak choose to play like crap lol

 

[Josh]

Yesterday Some Pakistani were complaining about Surya Not given out by on field Umpire, now Agha was also not given out by the onfield umpire

 

[cricfan432]

If agha cant score i doubt babar can

 

[Asif321]

Agha talat will be dropped

agha should step up and drop himself on the final

Which final ? Kya bolrahe ho bhai

 

[ads101]

As horrible as that was, that was probably one of Agha’s best innings lol.

Absolute nightmareish stuff from him.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Why would you do that? Why?

 

[light]

Your best batsmen - AFRIDI - is out lollll

 

[Champ_Pal]

Athar Ali Khan about to say "This is Sparta"!!!

 

[Boyka]

Surely no coming back from this

 

[Hikaru]

Bharat will avenge this humiliation for Pakistan, we promise.

 

[rpant_gabba]

Naqvi's tweet seems to more foreboding about Pakistan than India.

[sweep_shot]

Wide.

Need to avoid these extras.

50 is up.

 

[saabir]

Chewing gum didn't help. Tournament strike rate of 79 lol

And he is the captain of this side. He is a good ODI and test batter but not suitable for T20. Him and Talat are big liabilities

 

[shah9425]

Clown chewing gum gone

 

[Justcrazy]

Very timid display by pakistan here today.

 

[mominsaigol]

Who do you blame for this ?

I blame no one. Our team was performing poorly with both of em in.

Once they were removed Pakistan, PCB and their fans including me required a reality check.

Of the players couldnt replace Ba/Riz then they should return.

And I dont intend to be egotistical. @Mamoon you were proven right brother. Full credit to you

 

[charlie007]

Chewing gum didn't help. Tournament strike rate of 79 lol

He didn’t wear a cap to channel his inner Viv Richards, chewing gum alone didn’t do it

 

[castortroy]

Your best batsmen - AFRIDI - is out lollll

Got luck with a few wild hacks against India and now he is a batsman lol

Guy is useless

 

[Boyka]

Afridi

 

[ads101]

Shaheen has been promoted up the order. Interesting move.

He probably has more confidence batting at least he knows he makes this team on merit. Very few players probably feel that in our team right now.

 

[mango_bite77]

Dropped , Allrounder survives

 

[Dantheone]

Chewing gum didn't help. Tournament strike rate of 79 lol

They ran a campaign to throw out Babar and Rizwan and this is what we have!

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 51/5 (11 overs).

 

[Mamoon]

“They want to build new superstars for the brand of cricket they want to play. They will draw sponsors and ratings by producing an entertaining brand of cricket.

They have identified the right type of players that will bring the viewers and fans back into Pakistan cricket.

Harris, Nawaz, Saim, Nafay, Farhan. They are all big draws going forward InshaAllah”

- Rana, when the squad was announced

 

[Imran Hasan]

That was excellent review taken by Bangladesh.

Actually it was a poor umpiring decision by umpire. Everyone heard the edge sounds.

 

[Devadwal]

Did any of my predictions work in Asia cup 🫩

Your correct prediction = Your Cricketing knowledge . Zero

 

[castortroy]

Afridi is nothing but a wild logger who can't read spin.

 

[uppercut]

its very clear that Pakistan are afraid of facing India in the final ... lol

 

[sweep_shot]

Dropped.

Need to take those catches.

 

[Asif321]

There hasn’t been any captain other than Sarfraz who build the proper t20 squad. He won games in NZ with Amir yamin and umar Amin . Really miss those days

 

[Mamoon]

I blame no one. Our team was performing poorly with both of em in.

Once they were removed Pakistan, PCB and their fans including me required a reality check.

Of the players couldnt replace Ba/Riz then they should return.

And I dont intend to be egotistical. @Mamoon you were proven right brother. Full credit to you

150 IQ isn’t sold on Temu


@Rana

 

[GlobalCric]

well...this will ensure that players are saving millions of heart break, if they play in the final..look at the positive side.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Just seen the score so it's 51-5 lovely lovely Pakistan

 

[Robbie]

Wide.

Need to avoid these extras.

50 is up.

Bhai..atleast let them score some runs so that we have a good match..
Please have some mercy

 

[Energy]

I thought these guys Taskin Mahedi were not in the squad. Didn't realise they were rested so that Bangladesh can strategically keep them fit for this match.

Lol. That's a thappar.

 

[Mamoon]

Dick before wicket?

I don’t think these players have them.

 

[Savak]

What a day to give Mamoon bragging rights

 

[OldWarHorse]

Shaheen was a timezone early with that slog sweep

 

[baba ghazi]

Amazing decision, it looked plumb..hit him straight on dick

 

[Asif321]

“They want to build new superstars for the brand of cricket they want to play. They will draw sponsors and ratings by producing an entertaining brand of cricket.

- Rana, when the squad was announced

Except Farhan , mostly are tullay baaz .

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Can’t play pace , can’t play spin. What can they play…

 

[mazkhan]

Plz bring babar back as captain and rizwan as wicketkeeper

Even shan masood seems a better option now hes been smashing it for lecistershire both with white ball and red ball

 

[Champ_Pal]

Its Shaheen's day today.

Nobody can stop an Afridi on a mission

 

[JaDed]

The captaincy by Agha has been downright poor, aggression for the sake of it makes no sense.

 

[Local.Dada]

Shaheen Afridi is not an allrounder. He is not even a bowling allrounder. He is a tall and powerful fast bowler who has long levers and a great reach to hit a long ball in his zone. That’s all. He has a sold balance when he swings but is extremely limited and has 0 footwork.

 

[GoogleToggle]

Poor Bang boys being done in by bccicc umpires here

 

[sweep_shot]

Shaheen survives. Umpire's call.

 

[castortroy]

Akram commentary has to be one of the worst.

 

[Asif321]

Haha Afridi dropped twice

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Akram commentary has to be one of the worst.

What's he said now lol

 

[cricfan432]

Look at the turn he is getting

 

[castortroy]

Only a matter of time with afridi

Guy is a certified tail ender

 

[Devadwal]

Another dropped

 

[Savak]

Too many out of form players in the side. Terrible formula for a must win game

 

[JaDed]

SSA- 3 chances in 1 over
