Pakistan (138/5) edge past Sri Lanka (133/8) by 5 wickets in Super Four clash of Asia Cup 2025

[sweep_shot]

I think helmets need to be made stronger. It should be able to absorb more force.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Its the third over bro, chill out. Not like score is 11-3

why do teams feel confident defending low total against Pak? Even Comms will give chance to opposition. But when Pak has to defend it , Fans loose it before Pak starts bowling

 

[Kianig89]

Farhaan is doing that.
Why dont u post much these days??

Yes so far so good
I was sick , now recovering thankyou

 

[stani_pak]

Theekshana can be tricky to play

 

[Local.Dada]

130-140 is a target I would back Pak to chase against any team on any surface a 100% of the time except India, Aus, England, Nzl or maybe SA.

I am not saying they won’t but it becomes 50-50 against good bowling line ups. I feel they are competent enough for this.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Farhaan has owned both indias as well as srilankas best bowler

 

[Deewana Mastana]

But is that someone else in the squad isn’t it? Fakhar might not be concussed but he also might be ok to bat again a bit later instead of toughing it out.

This is why I said that the coach and staff need to step up and tell him he needs a bit of time away off the field for a few overs till if he is needed again

 

[Asad T]

Does Pak need to win this by a certain number of balls to spare to get their NRR better and to have any chance

If Pak beat Lanka
And if India win their remaining games
then Pak vs Ban will basically be a knockout

but in case India lose to bangladesh, then nrr could come into play

so pak should just try to boost their nrr just in case. will give them confidence too

 

[sweep_shot]

Theekshana can be tricky to play

Spinners had a good time today.

Even Abrar bowled well --> 4-0-8-1.

So, yeah. I think SL should bowl spinners. They have 3-4 spinners.

 

[cricfan432]

How could you miss fulltoss

 

[sweep_shot]

Missed stumping chance. Poor from the keeper.

Feel bad for the bowler.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Stumping missed

 

[Rana]

The problem with Fakhar is that he gives away his intentions too early

 

[Deewana Mastana]

If Pak beat Lanka
And if India win their remaining games
then Pak vs Ban will basically be a knockout

but in case India lose to bangladesh, then nrr could come into play

so pak should just try to boost their nrr just in case. will give them confidence too

Exactly why they should be trying to win this game ASAP or atleast by the 15th-16th

 

[Asad T]

Yes so far so good
I was sick , now recovering thankyou

glad to hear you are better man

 

[jamie smith fan]

Fakhar should just walk off now

 

[CricVet]

wow - Fakhar vs spinners is a comedy

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Worst bowling attack in the tournament getting exposed.

 

[Ali Active]

i hope fakhar is okay though

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 36/0 (4 overs).

98 to win from 96 balls.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Smashed it.

 

[pillionrider]

With that miss and the boundary next ball, I have lost all hope

 

[Local.Dada]

Farhaan has owned both indias as well as srilankas best bowler

Got owned by Dube. J/k it happens. Pat Cummins hit Bumrah for 2-3 6s in one over before too. It happens. Had he hit him for like 4-6 6’s or something you can call it ownage. He hit a1 6 and played 5 dot balls etc on the most asiatic looking surfaces he has played all his life

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This Farhan guy has obviously done something wrong in the past to polarize Pak fans. First time watching him this tournament and he's had a banger. At least during the first 10 overs.

People are driven by agendas. He has done better than most openers Pakistan have dished out in the past few years

He has his flaws but has a high ceiling for white-ball because he's a clean and natural striker of the ball

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

pak needs to finish this by 15th to get ahead of NRR can come into play

 

[sweep_shot]

This is the worst I have seen SL in an Asia Cup. They normally do well in Asia Cups (won it 6 times; won the last one 3 years ago).

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan need to win , every field of life people are criticising them back home

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Farhan was tired by the time Dube came to bowl. Conditions are tough to bat long

 

[Kianig89]

Jayasuriya the coach more capable than Hesson #fact

 

[ads101]

pak needs to finish this by 15th to get ahead of NRR can come into play

Won’t really need nrr. Only if Bangladesh somehow beat India. Providing we win this.

Tumhari jalina

 

[mominsaigol]

So is @Mamoon rambling followed by his indian Temu discount @Devadwal doing the same thing albeit in a more incoherent manner?

 

[sweep_shot]

Hesson feels like an amateur rookie with his statements.

Sanath is a legend. One of the best of all time.

 

[saabir]

I'm also get surprised why gets all the hates from Pakistani fans and ex cricketers. Guy is a beast look at his build up and his power game.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

you never know

 

[Kianig89]

The scheduling is farce , giving India the undue advantage

 

[gazza619]

Fakhar looks clumsy

 

[sweep_shot]

LOL. Yeah.

It always happens. India always get the scheduling perks.

 

[mominsaigol]

Oh never mind, I forgot they only pop in to troll

Oh bhai mushkil se theek hua hai

Enjoy Kar bas

Don’t stress too much

 

[jamie smith fan]

Sanath is a legend. One of the best of all time.

Hesson hasnt bowled the best t20 spinner in world according to him in last 2 games

 

[sweep_shot]

Surprised SL are not bowling their main bowler (Hasaranga).

 

[Asad T]

The scheduling is farce , giving India the undue advantage

poor bang have to play 2 games in a row. that will probably help us

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

I'm also get surprised why gets all the hates from Pakistani fans and ex cricketers. Guy is a beast look at his build up and his power game.

because he has replaced Fan Favorite Babar Azam

 

[Usman Chadda]

Fakhar really struggling against Chameera

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

why do teams feel confident defending low total against Pak? Even Comms will give chance to opposition. But when Pak has to defend it , Fans loose it before Pak starts bowling

Because the pitch has nothing in it. And this is 2025 Sri Lanka, not late-2000's Sri Lanka

 

[sweep_shot]

Decent powerplay for Pakistan.

PAK - 43/0 (5 overs).

 

[jamie smith fan]

Decent powerplay for Pakistan.

PAK - 43/0 (5 overs).

1 over still left

 

[Local.Dada]

Tumhari jalina

C-yapa se har sensible aadmi ki jalni chahiye

 

[Kianig89]

This start should be capitalised

 

[pillionrider]

Bumrah isn't a God. No shame in a great bowler getting smacked here and there.

Wasim Akram would have been a beast too if he played today, but bet even he would be thrashed in the odd game.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

poor bang have to play 2 games in a row. that will probably help us

lucky us

 

[sweep_shot]

1 over still left

Yes.

I mean it has been good so far.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Bumrah isn't a God. No shame in a great bowler getting smacked here and there.

Bumrah is Great Bowler. Pak fans need to swallow pride. S0 far he has nt had good asia cup though

 

[Kianig89]

Agha must be thinking , hopefully I'm not req

 

[OldWarHorse]

Farhan has got a bit of Jos Butler about him

 

[Asad T]

Farhan would be a great golfer

 

[CricVet]

Good going - Pak might be able to get 50+ in PP. Try to make 80-90 by the end of 10 overs if did not lose wickets, THEN they can finish by 15th over.

 

[mominsaigol]

Farhan batting well. Seems like the india gane was what he needed to break his shackles

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Farhan gone 9 to go

 

[sweep_shot]

Theeksana gets Farhan. First wicket.

PAK - 45/1.

 

[gazza619]

Commentators curse hits Farhan

 

[jamie smith fan]

Btw what is babro doing these days??

 

[CricVet]

ahhh...said too early..

 

[ads101]

Sri Lanka look deflated. Just have to put them out of their misery now. Even if they somehow win this they’re likely to be out.

Just a routine victory for us Now, openers have done well to stay in at a decent sr.

 

[sweep_shot]

One gone 9 to go

Are you rooting for SL?

I thought you were a Pakistani.

 

[Local.Dada]

Bumrah isn't a God. No shame in a great bowler getting smacked here and there.

Wasim Akram would have been a beast too if he played today, but bet even he would be thrashed in the odd game.

Sure Farhan hit him for a 6 or 2. Doesn’t mean ownage. He is an “attacking”
Opening batter in T20. That’s exactly the point too, it’s not ownage lol. Ownage is what Jadeja did to Waqar, what Jayasuriya used to do to Prasad etc or Anwar did to kuruvilla etc.

 

[pillionrider]

Bumrah is Great Bowler. Pak fans need to swallow pride. S0 far he has nt had good asia cup though

It's understandable. Even we as Indians are reluctant to accept ANY Pakistani can be a great batsman

 

[Asad T]

Btw what is babro doing these days??

participating in a pcb red-ball camp

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Jayasuriya the coach more capable than Hesson #fact

Based on what are you saying that?

Hesson revolutionized the way NZ played cricket. Took them from being a completely mediocre side and made them one of the best teams in the world. What has Jayasuria done exactly?

 

[mominsaigol]

Farhan batting well. Seems like the india gane was what he needed to break his shackles

OH I forgot, the jinx is still active 24/7. Go ahead and laugh @Nikhil_cric for all i care.

It dont matter anymore

 

[Ahmed216]

Farhan batting well. Seems like the india gane was what he needed to break his shackles

Again

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Are you rooting for SL?

I thought you were a Pakistani.

 

[Kianig89]

So SL get the much needed opening

 

[Rana]

Saim plenty of time to get his form and rhythm back

 

[cricfan432]

Talat might win us the match today with his run a ball

 

[pillionrider]

Sure Farhan hit him for a 6 or 2. Doesn’t mean ownage. He is an “attacking”
Opening batter in T20. That’s exactly the point too, it’s now ownage lol. Ownage is what Jadeja did to Waqar, what Jayasuriya used to do to Prasad etc or Anwar did to kuruvilla etc.

Or Indians to Shaheen, in general, since that game he took out the top order

 

[sweep_shot]

Theeksana is much better than Wellalage. More experienced also.

 

[Rana]

that’s a soft dismissal for Farhan

Six ball got out to

 

[pillionrider]

Wow what a catch
