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

[Deewana Mastana]

17 off 11 for Rauf

 

[Champ_Pal]

Why our team is so unpredicatable? They're gonna give me a heart attack one day

I have been watching PCT since 1992 and they have always been this way. Too much reliance on individual brilliance rather than multiple players shouldering the burden of scoring runs and picking wickets.

 

[BlackstoneRock]

The whole pak media is after agha chewing gum and they showing it on cam lol

 

[Human786]

Agha chews gum rather crudely ... 36/3 after 6

 

[Devadwal]

What are they doing? Minnows level cricket but thanks for scoring 35 in PP.

 

[Asif321]

Time for AB , Nawaz and Saim to choke Bangbros

 

[Champ_Pal]

Indian fans, please look at Haris’ speeds

He is easily clocking around 145.

A double edged sword. Can go for plenty and also pick up wickets.

 

[JaDed]

Pak vs India final

 

[ataullah]

Indian fans, please look at Haris’ speeds

Forget speeds he can't bowl tightly

 

[ads101]

When two equal minnows play each other we get such electrifying cricket.

It really does feel a sorry state when all the Asian teams feel like minnows except India who is the best team. I’d rather even prefer a side like Sri Lanka to be good if we Pakistan can not.

In comparison England, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa all quality sides.

 

[sweep_shot]

Very eventful powerplay.

BD - 36/3 (6 overs).

100 to win from 84 balls.

 

[Usman Chadda]

They still have enough batting, scoring is fine

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan needs 2 more atleast before the 10th

 

[Asif321]

I hope Agha bowls Nawaz today we need him

 

[jnaveen1980]

old tradition

Yea so all these intent schmentent did nothing. Naseem shah saved them with bat before . Shaheen with ball. Now the same situation

 

[Prince of Dorne]

Indian fans, please look at Haris’ speeds

Ha toh kya kare? We doubt his brain not pace. Can be devastating against minnows and that's about it.

 

[mango_bite77]

Nurul not gonna stay for long. Looking whack every ball

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

The shambolic way BD is playing I feel the song: Daddy mujhse bola, tu galti hai meri…

SL are a boring team. I want Afghans to do well. They are exciting.

 

[pillionrider]

Wasim has great insight, said nobody ever.

Maybe there are people at home glad he's sharing it outside

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan can afford easy singles

 

[jnaveen1980]

Indian fans, please look at Haris’ speeds

Seen that at MCG. Then wc 2023 lol

 

[sweep_shot]

BD need to try and reach 60/3 after 10 overs. That wouldn't be bad.

 

[m.shah]

Is this Sohan a bowler . ?

 

[Asif321]

Nawaz experience with ball will help

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

So who’s going get the big learn tonight?

 

[Justcrazy]

Bangladesh need 98 runs in 78 balls.

Pakistan would need to get some more tight overs in and put pressure on bangladesh bowlers.

 

[ads101]

SL are a boring team. I want Afghans to do well. They are exciting.

For Afghanistan to be a good side and us to be minnows would feel so humiliating given how new they are to cricket and how bad the conditions in their country they’ve had to endure. Even their current state feels stupendous given what they’re facing in their country.

I could take Sri Lanka being better than us as they have been many times in the past.

 

[Asif321]

Thankfully Nawaz given ball lol

 

[mango_bite77]

So who’s going get the big learn tonight?

Only to get mega Learn on Sunday

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 38/3 (7 overs).

98 to win from 78 balls.

BD need 2-3 big overs. RRR is climbing.

 

[Energy]

Nawaz can get tonked if he bowls like a slow gun barrel. Need to vary the flight.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

They’re playing Test cricket these lads

 

[cricfan432]

Bang bros rebuilding

 

[Asif321]

Why Agha is denying Saim to bowl ?

I personally enjoy Afghanistan. I always enjoy it when they defend totals. Their spinners are entertaining.

 

[Human786]

out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Looking pretty easy for BANGLADESH

 

[Energy]

This guy Nurul looks like a shaky character.

 

[Ali Active]

Agha jee still chewing

 

[cricfan432]

What a fool, they were scoring easy singles. Bang ne tou khud match phenka hai

 

[mango_bite77]

out

Are u in stadium ?

 

[Ali Active]

Gone

 

[Asif321]

Yeah baby ! That’s why Nawaz boy is needed

 

[globetrotter]

Both sides trying hard to loose this match, but Bangladesh is cleaver as they don't wants to loose 2 matches in a row to India and ok with Pakistan to loose 3rd against India

 

[imshally81]

4th down

 

[sweep_shot]

Tawhid tried to take on Shaheen. That was stupid. He could've milked these spinners.

As I speak, another wicket falls.

BD - 44/4 (8 overs).

92 to win from 12 overs.

 

[Devadwal]

World best spinner strike and he hasn't Bowled a single over in last Two games

 

[Asif321]

Let Saim bowl too please !

 

[Ummii]

just try to put rr to 10, they will collaspe

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Neexxxxxxxxxxtttt! Lol

 

[AAli98]

I want to hear Athar’s voice right now

 

[Nasty Naz]

Another wicket. Bangladesh in trouble here.

 

[GoogleToggle]

bang bros should stick to u19 cricket with their age fraud players.
Intnl cricket is a bit too much for them

 

[saabir]

Why throwing ur wicket away BD. Just play 1 and 2s the boundary ball will come. Target is not much. Take it deep

 

[ads101]

Bangladesh are cooked they ain’t winning this.

 

[Asif321]

Let Saim bowl too please !

Got the wish

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why o why

 

[cricfan4lyfe]

Bangla literally gifting the game to Pak lol

 

[sweep_shot]

Agree.

They tried to play too many shots. All they needed to do was take singles and doubles.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

People saying minnow level cricket but apart from Abhishek Sharma batting has been quite poor from all sides.

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Sloggers cant play intelligent cricket!

The way Bang are batting..something looks fishy

 

[RexRex]

Bangladesh trying to throw this game away. Shady.

 

[Major]

Grandpa gavaskar is here to whine..

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Its been a tier 2 tournament in half empty stadium with more off field drama than anything else. Asia Cups can take a pause honestly.

 

[sweep_shot]

Agree.

They tried to play too many shots. All they needed to do was take singles and doubles.

BD need to take it deep. Only way to handle this.

 

[m.shah]

Sunny Ji is angry on Bang bros

 

[cricfan432]

Bcci trying for another pak/ind match?

 

[Devadwal]

Reverse sweep over extra cover. Hahaha

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

@Rana you best pray we win this...

 

[OldWarHorse]

Bangla should still win. Going all in

 

[GoogleToggle]

ICC needs to investigate this game

 

[Major]

You can hear the disappointment in the indian voices.

And match is between pakistan vs bangladesh

 

[gazza619]

Sunil Gavaskar looks in pain. Lol

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Bcci trying for another pak/ind match?

But isnt India scared to face Pakistan

 

[jnaveen1980]

It all comes down to range of shots. When you don't have range this is what happens. All they have to do is rotate strike and take single

 

[ads101]

If we get to the final just play it with no pressure.

 

[pillionrider]

So nice to hear Sunny bhai finding energy in his voice after his meek outing yesterday while all the shuffling with the Indian batting order was going on

 

[GoogleToggle]

Sunil Gavaskar looks in pain. Lol

Why would be that?
