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

[Champ_Pal]

Rauf expensive. But picks up a wicket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sl has good team they can go after bowling

Seems like today they left a batsman out and brought a bowler in. So they are a batsman short.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Man we are expensive what is going on???

 

[sweep_shot]

SL - 53/3 (6 overs).

Pakistan are ahead. SL lost 1 wicket too many.

 

[ads101]

Sri Lanka will run out of wickets despite how scary they look.

 

[sweep_shot]

Agha is bowling.

 

[Ali Active]

looks like agha heard me he is actually bowling today

 

[Ali Active]

Agha used to bowl well idk why he discarded that

 

[sweep_shot]

Almost a catch. Fell short.

Good effort from Saim.

 

[Boyka]

Amazing how non PAK batsmen can hit the ball so cleanly lol

 

[Ahmed216]

Pitch is very good for batting. Some assistance for Shaheen too initially.
That Dubai pitch is deathbed for pacers

 

[sweep_shot]

I believe this is the last Asia Cup game in Abu Dhabi. Rest of the games are all in Dubai.

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

So why doesn't Agha bowl against India?

 

[JaDed]

Amazing how non PAK batsmen can hit the ball so cleanly lol

Different pitch..

 

[Pakistan150-0]

When situation is easy and opposition under pressure.....our captain cool came to bowl....
In previous matches he hided himself.....such a coward and shameless player

 

[Ali Active]

hussain talat is bowling too

 

[cricfan432]

Why talat? Bowl spin

 

[Ball Blazer]

early breakthroughs but decent score

 

[gazza619]

Agha bowling some cheap overs to keep his place in the side. Selfless sacrifice

 

[RidiculousMan]

To justify the place. Talat will have to bowl now?

 

[JaDed]

This pitch would had been better for batters overall.. Dubai ones require some application.

 

[saabir]

Good contest between bat and ball so far. Pakistan keep coming back after getting hit for sixers. This match is so fun to watch and competitive than India Pak . This is a very good pitch to bat on. Sl need to score atleast 170 here.

 

[sweep_shot]

Asalanka is out.

Pakistan are on top.

58/4.

 

[stani_pak]

oh wow hussian talat picks a wicket haha

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Talat should Have bowled last game too

 

[JaDed]

Agha will bowl in final against India.. Lanka has lot too many..

 

[imshally81]

Out

4 down

 

[Ali Active]

talat comes on picks up a wicket

 

[mango_bite77]

Talat was not used in last match. Medium pacers proved to be better in this tournament.

 

[sweep_shot]

SL are trying to slog every ball.

58/4.

Pakistan are looking good for a big win today.

 

[Ali Active]

Agha salman is actual spinner lol he was bowling saim when he could have bowled himself

 

[mominsaigol]

Lol maybe Talat is useful after all

 

[Ali Active]

5 down

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

It's so annoying. Why didn't Agha and Talat bowl against India when the other bowlers were getting spanked?

 

[sweep_shot]

Shanaka is out too. Rauf is on a hat-trick.

58/5.

 

[cricketmania22]

So why doesn't Agha bowl against India?

Didn’t want to get hit for 6 sixes in the over.

 

[Ali Active]

To justify the place. Talat will have to bowl now?

he picks up two crucial ones lol

 

[stani_pak]

Asia cup finals vibes 2022

 

[imshally81]

5 down

 

[mango_bite77]

Talat on Hattrick !

Repeating - He was not used in last maych

 

[JaDed]

Just terrible from Lanka , completely panicked , after 2016 their worst Asia cup performance

 

[AAli98]

Will pak cross 36 on this pitch

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Sri Lanka playing some cowboy cricket tonight

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Bye bye Sri Lanka

 

[Ali Active]

Shanaka is out too. Rauf is on a hat-trick.

58/5.

Talat

 

[Champ_Pal]

Lanka one foot already in Colombo

 

[stani_pak]

It's so annoying. Why didn't Agha and Talat bowl against India when the other bowlers were getting spanked?

They probably would have gotten spanked too

 

[Ali Active]

Bye bye Sri Lanka

Everyone who thought pakistan was gonna lose against srilanka or bangladesh was deluded

 

[Major]

I love Pakistan Cricket once again

 

[sweep_shot]

If SL lose this, they are out of the tournament. They also risk finishing last as their final game is against India.

 

[Imran Hasan]

I thought SL would be favorite but they are loosing this match and that means they will beat India.

 

[Boyka]

Where has this guy been

 

[mominsaigol]

@Nikhil_cric

Is my jinx really that bad?

I'm now seriously getting mad at agha.

The fact that talat is playing for nawaz?

How has it not ended?

 

[JaDed]

Will pak cross 36 on this pitch

Lol its an awesome pitch for batting, absolutely silly batting by Lanka

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

They probably would have gotten spanked too

Still have a go though. It's so infuriating

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Sorry but if you give 2 wickets in 2 balls to Husain Talat then the problem is with you, not the pitch

 

[sweep_shot]

Lol its an awesome pitch for batting, absolutely silly batting by Lanka

SL are slogging for some reason. All they had to do was taking it deep with a reasonable run-rate.

58/5.

 

[mango_bite77]

Sorry but if you give 2 wickets in 2 balls to Husain Talat then the problem is with you, not the pitch

Medium pacers are good on slow pitches. Dubey got wickets too in last match, bowles like Bumrah failed.

 

[mominsaigol]

Ngl I thought Sri lanka would win? I was onlt saying Pakistan cause of trolling purposes?

Ig jinx is way too strong lol

 

[Imran Hasan]

Both Hasaranga and Kamindu can bat but they need to understand the situation and try to put a partnership here.

 

[sweep_shot]

SL - 62/5 (8 overs).

Ground is lightning fast. Ball travels like a rocket.

 

[batandballbattle]

lol talat with 2 in 2 from nowhere
I expected lankans to put up more of a fight

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

SL in same position they were in last game against Pak. Asia cup final 2022

 

[RidiculousMan]

Hasaranga only knows one way. That's counter attack. Need to get him out early.

 

[sweep_shot]

Chameera is practicing with 2 bats. What kind of practice is that? LOL. Why do you need 2 bats?

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

They probably would have gotten spanked too

Talat would have done better on that pitch. Just as Dube and Faheem did. It was a poor decision not to give him atleast a couple of overs, especially when India were motoring along.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Good move to bring Abrar in.

 

[AAli98]

Wasim Akrams here to read the scorecard again

 

[JaDed]

SL are slogging for some reason. All they had to do was taking it deep with a reasonable run-rate.

58/5.

Yeah , totally unlike them guess BD did a number on them.

 

[Ahmed216]

Good intensity on the field from Pakistan. Very likeable

 

[Ball Blazer]

same 11 but diff strategy.

 

[sweep_shot]

Every single wicket has been caught. No bowled or LBW.

A belter of a pitch.

SL made it look difficult with mindless slogging.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lankans are in trouble. One more wicket and they will struggle to score 140.

Even now they are not getting there

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Medium pacers are good on slow pitches. Dubey got wickets too in last match, bowles like Bumrah failed.

This pitch is nothing like the one from the last match

 

[Ali Active]

 

[stani_pak]

Talat would have done better on that pitch. Just as Dube and Faheem did. It was a poor decision not to give him atleast a couple of overs, especially when India were motoring along.

I think in theory he should have been given a chance, but the way India batted, they would have taken him on too,

we have seen this scorecard before

 

[Ball Blazer]

Pakistan lost last 5 T20Is against Sri Lanka but this match is gonna break the streak

 

[JaDed]

If Pak will have the momentum, BD isn’t a momentum team so it will tough for them to play ,unless it’s the pitch that created this momentum.

 

[stani_pak]

Game is still not over, these two can still bat and bat well, we must not forget Asia Cup finals 2022, when we had Sri Lanka for 58 for 5
