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

[sweep_shot]

Nurul is out.

63/5.

 

[pillionrider]

Saim has Sunny bhai's brains. Read the move and bowled it wide. Easy peasy

 

[jnaveen1980]

Insanely low skilled low temperament cricket. Two mediocre batting display

 

[Asif321]

Is Saim a baby Abrar at this point?

Saim finds way to keep his place in XI haha

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Saim Ajmal does it

 

[Champ_Pal]

BD one foot already in Dhaka

 

[gazza619]

Athar could punch his co-commentator if BD loses this.

I so wish co commentator is sunny bhai

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangladesh throwing it away

Big time.

136 on this ground is under-par. But, if there is one team that can mess this up, it is BD. LOL.

 

[GoogleToggle]

Wish it was Bangladesh in the final.
Now yet another predictable one sided win for India. Sunday ruined

 

[jnaveen1980]

They say international cricket is as good as league cricket hahaha.

 

[cricfan4lyfe]

Saim keeps taking wickets lmao

Poor batting from Bangla ... handing the match to Pak

 

[sweep_shot]

This is the last recognized pair. They need to hang in there.

After this, all-rounders/tail start.

 

[Asif321]

72 in 48 - one more wicket now will end BD hopes

 

[SherWaqar]

What on earth are BD doing?!

 

[Boyka]

Insanely low skilled low temperament cricket. Two mediocre batting display

It’s a good tournament without India! Why are they even here?

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

more than fans on both sides , Broadcaster must be sweating

It’s a good tournament without India! Why are they even here?

To feed the rest of the teams.

 

[sweep_shot]

BD - 64/5 (12 overs).

72 to win from 8 overs. RRR has climbed up to 9.

 

[Asif321]

Shabash Nawaz

 

[mango_bite77]

Get slip for Jakir

 

[saabir]

We need two tiers in T20 too

Yes this would make cricket so entertaing to watch..imagine Pakistan, BD, SL and Afg playing asia cup.. that would be more interesting and evenly poised tournament..India currently is of higher league . It need to compete with AUS, England , SA and NZ

 

[Cover Drive Six]

This guy must have an iron heart. He has seen many matches where Bangladesh gave heart attacks to their fans. He knows that his team is a minnow and may collapse even for small totals in big matches.

As I said before, they are ready to crumble.

 

[LegendAli]

90% of Bangladesh's current team are Hasan's and Hossain's, unreal stuff.

 

[cricfan432]

Hard ascend for bangla now, pak against srilanka never let runrate rise

 

[sweep_shot]

70 to win from 45 balls. Game is slipping away from BD.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Need one more wicket.

 

[JaDed]

What a screw up by BD, couldn’t hold the nerves.

@The Bald Eagle happy now lol you guys get another shot at SKY

 

[gazza619]

Wish it was Bangladesh in the final.
Now yet another predictable one sided win for India. Sunday ruined

How about you plan to do something else this Sunday ?

 

[sweep_shot]

90% of Bangladesh's current team are Hasan's and Hossain's, unreal stuff.

Hassan, Hossain, Rahman, Islam. These are common last names in BD.

My last name is also one of these four.

 

[Asif321]

Bowl AB now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fumbling reduces with practice, which they hardly do

They probably never do

 

[GoogleToggle]

How about you plan to do something else this Sunday ?

I will be since match will be over mostly by first powerplay lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a screw up by BD, couldn’t hold the nerves.

They don't have stroke range to rotate strike or temperament to pick the right ball

 

[mesmerizer85]

I have a strange feeling.. Shaheen and Haris might get costly in the last overs

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Yes this would make cricket so entertaing to watch..imagine Pakistan, BD, SL and Afg playing asia cup.. that would be more interesting and evenly poised tournament..India currently is of higher league . It need to compete with AUS, England , SA and NZ

Best of Asia vs. India series of 3-5 matches for a 10M USD prize.

 

[sweep_shot]

68 to win from 7 overs.

Need a big over or two.

 

[JaDed]

They don't have stroke range to rotate strike or temperament to pick the right ball

Yeah, they had one good game against Lanka… this should had been easy for them.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

What on earth are BD doing?!

They are allowing India to thrash Pakistan for the third time… a hat-trick is on the cards.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

NEED 2 WICKETS QUICKLY

 

[psyoptica]

Bangla squandered this chase

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Bangladesh still ahead

 

[pillionrider]

Shamim under the helmet looks a lot like Fakhar

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

How is BD losing this one?

Ton ton a ton - ton ton tara
Arrey Bongla babu koisa hara?

 

[ads101]

We definitely favourites but I do wonder if it was India or sena team here instead of Bangladesh would they be favourites instead.

 

[JaDed]

They are allowing India to thrash Pakistan for the third time… a hat-trick is on the cards.

They faced us twice already, they will be much better prepared now, plus we haven't had one tough game, this was tough one for them

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangla squandered this chase

Big time.

136 in Dubai is generally a walk in the park. BD messed it up.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Joker OUT

 

[GoogleToggle]

Excellent shot by Joker Ali

 

[mango_bite77]

Ayub with 2nd , Jakir down

 

[imshally81]

6 down

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Mark my words, Kudrat ka nizam is nizaaming for Pakistan.

 

[JaDed]

Jake Roberts out..

 

[sweep_shot]

We definitely favourites but I do wonder if it was India or sena team here instead of Bangladesh would they be favourites instead.

Yes. Most Test nations would be favorites here.

136 in Dubai is nothing.

BD messed it up.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Many underrate Saims bowling

 

[BlackstoneRock]

Second one for Saim Ajmal

 

[RidiculousMan]

Man Jaker Ali has been a big disappointment in this Asia Cup

 

[Asif321]

Saim is smart bowler . I wish he bats smartly too .

 

[pillionrider]

Yeah Viv, drop Saim nah

 

[sweep_shot]

Jaker is out.

73/6.

Saim has taken 3 wickets.

 

[Asif321]

So we gonna have first ever India Pakistan Asia cup final

 

[ads101]

Yes. Most Test nations would be favorites here.

136 in Dubai is nothing.

BD messed it up.

Yeah but at 72-5 here? I’m not sure. All I know at that position Bangladesh are definitely not favourites .

 

[jnaveen1980]

It’s a good tournament without India! Why are they even here?

Never wanted India to play. Not for political reasons. But Asia cup has been a boring affair for the last 10nyears

 

[sweep_shot]

Only Shamim is the last proper batter left.

Rest are tail.

 

[gazza619]

I will be since match will be over mostly by first powerplay lol

Not if Abhishek Bachan gets out early

 

[SherWaqar]

What a choke job

 

[JaDed]

How do Bangladeshis take such performances from their team?

 

[sweep_shot]

So we gonna have first ever India Pakistan Asia cup final

Yup. Seems like it.

They have never met in an Asia Cup final before. Pretty astonishing.

 

[SherWaqar]

They are allowing India to thrash Pakistan for the third time… a hat-trick is on the cards.

Bring it on

 

[Asif321]

Agha and many others will save their spot by winning this

 

[mrtaim3]

Mark my words, Kudrat ka nizam is nizaaming for Pakistan.

Lool we always knew its gonna be tough for bangladesh if the score went anywhere near 130. They crumble under pressure

 

[sweep_shot]

How do Bangladeshis take such performances from their team?

What do you want us to do? Should we cry inside toilets while playing "kuch kuch hota hay"?

It is just a game. After this game is over, I forget about the game and do my things.

 

[JaDed]

Never wanted India to play. Not for political reasons. But Asia cup has been a boring affair for the last 10nyears

2016 was fun..

 

[saabir]

Who make Jaker Ali skipper. He moves so much on the crease and lose his balance..you should have a strong and steady base to hit big..he is no AB devillers. Shamim looking better against spinners

 

[Asif321]

AB not been his best today . Comon get a wicket

 

[Prince of Dorne]

Calling BD team ghatiya would be an understatement

 

[ads101]

Yup. Seems like it.

They have never met in an Asia Cup final before. Pretty astonishing.

Ah that’s cool never knew that. And stakes have never been higher with all the non cricket controversies.

 

[mango_bite77]

Bangla has just score 1 four in the match. Some record it should be

 

[pillionrider]

Not if Abhishek Bachan gets out early

Gill's role has been underrated in the opening partnerships though.

 

[cricfan4lyfe]

this is why we need to keep backing Saim ... just a matter of time before he starts scoring runs again ... he's the 3 dimensional cricketer Arthur was trying to find

 

[sweep_shot]

Bangla has just score 1 four in the match. Some record it should be

5 sixes and 1 four.

Should've hit more boundaries.
