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

[pillionrider]

Pakistan and Afghanistan are 2 teams which review on emotion more than any strategical thinking. I think Misbah was the last decent guy who knew how to take a proper review for the right reasons.

I think Asian countries (maybe SL can be excluded). The other four of us need a star to captain. We don't accept a mediocre player being captain. So Salman Agha might be a great guy idk, but there is no way someone like him can captain and inspire them. Even someone like Sarfaraz who was not some great player had some charisma. Salman just looks like a noble guy. He might be a fair and balanced person (I'm just guessing and judging by appearances) but that's not good enough usually for us.

Who has told Wasim that Talat is quick between the wicket? lol!

He is pretty average.

 

[mominsaigol]

Can I genuinely ask what's the point of Saim Ayub? We are literally playing with 10 players at this point

 

[Asif321]

Saim and Agha really put all the pressure on Pakistan

 

[PakFan2010]

Tulhat looks a good player.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Haris won’t last long here, we need to get to 100 somehow without losing a wicket and this idiot is batting

 

[Asif321]

Can I genuinely ask what's the point of Saim Ayub? We are literally playing with 10 players at this point

Shouldn’t be playing anymore . Total waste of space and puts pressure on batting side .

 

[sweep_shot]

Truth be told I have no hopes from haris and talat. We are doomed

63 to win from 60. Should be easy peasy.

2 big overs can kill the game.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

so Pak has managed to put them in corner again?

its 63 off 60 bro. They just need to see off the Hasaranga overs and not give him any wickets, because he looks switched on tonight after the Abrar celebration.

 

[followed]

Exactly. You should respect then instead if calling them names brother

They are past their best no need to bring those losers anymore.
But this bunch is just pathetic and even worse than them. They will be back after asia Cup.

 

[shah9425]

But according to one clown expert mr chewing gum is better player than Rizwan in t20

 

[Nephrologist]

On his day he can fluke some wickets.
Remember him destroying Indian with ball once

My bad it was Shanaka*

[SM1989]

Saim and Agha really put all the pressure on Pakistan

No Fakhar did by throwing his wicket away instead of batting through the innings

 

[mango_bite77]

Tulhat looks a good player.

Na na - Nahi hai bha

 

[Snowflake]

Agha has been VERY disappointing this tournament. His individual performance has been horrible but I am more disappointed in his captaincy.

Playing M Nawaz as a specialist batsman while H Nawaz is sitting out? The batting order against in the Indian game was all over the place. Questionable bowling changes as well throughout the tournament.

Very poor.

You were right about the following things and full credit needs to be given and others should acknowledge this fact and take back what they said.

A) Agha being a temu version or even worse of hafeez and Malik in t20 cricket.

B) Fakhar not being t20 material.

C) Farhan being avg and just okayish.

So far all 3 have Dissapointed more or less

 

[Asif321]

But according to one clown expert mr chewing gum is better player than Rizwan in t20

Agha is test batter on flat wickets

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Match winner is still to bat
Things aren't all over yet

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Can I genuinely ask what's the point of Saim Ayub? We are literally playing with 10 players at this point

He's been transformed into a bowler who can sometimes bat instead as they can't focus on all facets of their game together

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan are making a mess of it

 

[m.shah]

Can I genuinely ask what's the point of Saim Ayub? We are literally playing with 10 players at this point

He needs break

 

[sweep_shot]

Match winner is still to bat

It is 75-25 for Pakistan.

Only way SL can come back is if they take 2-3 quick wickets after the drinks break.

 

[mango_bite77]

Pakistan shows up their worst performance in Asia cups in recent past. Previous edition, Babar was big let down, this edition Saim is big let down.

 

[Asif321]

No Fakhar did by throwing his wicket away instead of batting through the innings

Fakhar gave the start needed along with Farhan , 49/2 is okay chasing 135 . Ayub and Agha must have batted a little longer which they failed

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Congrats

Kis cheez ka

Abhi toh kuch nahi hua

 

[pillionrider]

He's been transformed into a bowler who can sometimes bat instead as they can't focus on all facets of their game together

But he didn't get a bowl today, did he.

 

[Snowflake]

This was such a PERFECT opportunity for Pakistan to get a huge NRR boost. Given away now.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Can I genuinely ask what's the point of Saim Ayub? We are literally playing with 10 players at this point

guy is too casual about cricket, and thinks Int Cricket can be survived with one shot in tank.. No look

Reaction score 1000+

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pakistan on the verge of being called an associate side as they just don't seem to be able to compete

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Think conditions have gotten a touch easier now. Should be straightforward

 

[mominsaigol]

He hasn't played the no look shot since Aus series.

Infact the shots that he's gotten out to, none of em were No Look.

 

[sweep_shot]

Four from Haris.

 

[jamie smith fan]

Got u there finally

 

[stani_pak]

great shot by Mohammad Haris

 

[mominsaigol]

Haris, Man of the Tournament?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

But he didn't get a bowl today, did he.

They thought if they don't make him bowl his inner ego might get him to bat a bit but alas

 

[sweep_shot]

54 to win from 54 balls.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

How rich are you guys? Thoda share to karo na.

It seems that the very rich ping each other with mutually felicitous greetings, reminding each other that their wealth is both hallmark and guarantor of a vastly genteel cultural heritage.

They’re both effing rich, dintcha hear da guy de foist time???

 

[Hyder]

Can I genuinely ask what's the point of Saim Ayub? We are literally playing with 10 players at this point

Same for agha too

 

[mominsaigol]

Haris, Man of the Tournament?

No i am not making this prediction, I refuse. I am dooming Pakistan if I make it

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Got u there finally

Yeh cheez!

 

[pillionrider]

80/4
54 needed off 54
@sweep_shot

 

[Obaidd]

Haris, Man of the Tournament?

Take that, everyone who called Haris a one-trick pony

 

[PakFan2010]

1. Hasan Nawaz
2. Sahbizida Farhan
3. Fakhar Zaman
4. Mohammad Harris

That should be Pakistan's top 4.

Similar to England's top 4.

 

[prash88]

Haris gone

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

He hasn't played the no look shot since Aus series.

Infact the shots that he's gotten out to, none of em were No Look.

Exactly why he is failing. He does nt get to play no look

 

[Kianig89]

Saim without Babar had lost his midas touch

 

[jnaveen1980]

Think conditions have gotten a touch easier now. Should be straightforward

It is atleast 40 runs below par.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Haris gone

5 To go

 

[mominsaigol]

No i am not making this prediction, I refuse. I am dooming Pakistan if I make it

Take that, everyone who called Haris a one-trick pony

^^^ Not making the prediction, I refuse.

Actually I'll make it. Go haris Man if the tournament. Time to win it.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Haris, Man of the Tournament?

Doomed

 

[sweep_shot]

Haris is out. Bowled him.

PAK - 80/5.

 

[Snowflake]

He needs break

Break se he toh wapas aaya hai yaar. Aur kitni break chahiye?

 

[mango_bite77]

Can anyone tell why Is Nawaz not bowling ?Is he playing as a batter ?

 

[Hyder]

You were right about the following things and full credit needs to be given and others should acknowledge this fact and take back what they said.

A) Agha being a temu version or even worse of hafeez and Malik in t20 cricket.

B) Fakhar not being t20 material.

C) Farhan being avg and just okayish.

So far all 3 have Dissapointed more or less

Fakhar has had 100 matches. Saim 50 matches. Yet they bat like just cementing their place.

Farhans hands are too tied even after hitting so many long balls his sr barely reaches 130 on a good day

 

[Asif321]

Chalo boys it’s done as expected from crappy batters

 

[Asad T]

No Fakhar did by throwing his wicket away instead of batting through the innings

he should have done the sensible thing and should ahve subbed himself off after getting hit in the head. that way Hasan Nawaz could have come in as a concussion sub

 

[IAJ]

You got to question Agha’s catptaincy. Why didn’t he bowl Saim and Nawaz when Abrar only gave away 8 runs in 4 overs? He can’t keep making these basic mistakes, might get away with it today but this has already hurt Pakistan before.

 

[Kianig89]

Nail biting we are hell bent on making it

 

[Deewana Mastana]

It is atleast 40 runs below par.

Still too many for Pak at this rate

 

[pillionrider]

They thought if they don't make him bowl his inner ego might get him to bat a bit but alas

I've been rooting for him to do well with the bat. Don't know why. Haven't even seen him before other than some clips here. Liked something about him.

 

[Nephrologist]

Brother Akram has one job to do - reading scorecard.
He cant even do that right

 

[Asad T]

Haris, Man of the Tournament?

hahaha strikes again

 

[sweep_shot]

M Nawaz, Faheem, Shaheen, Rauf. They all can hit.

Pakistan bat deep.

 

[Aham Brahmasmi]

Can I genuinely ask what's the point of Saim Ayub? We are literally playing with 10 players at this point

Bcoz people thought he was/is better than Jaiswal and Sharma

 

[m.shah]

These tullas are not good enough to lace Babar's shoes.

 

[RidiculousMan]

You got to question Agha’s catptaincy. Why didn’t he bowl Saim and Nawaz when Abrar only gave away 8 runs in 4 overs? He can’t keep making these basic mistakes, might get away with it today but this has already hurt Pakistan before.

If they can't chase 130 here, they better retire. Specially Agha and Saim

 

[Nephrologist]

^^^ Not making the prediction, I refuse.

Actually I'll make it. Go haris Man if the tournament. Time to win it.

 

[Hyder]

Saim without Babar had lost his midas touch

He was never good in t20i.

 

[Champ_Pal]

That cut back in sharply. But poor shot nonetheless.

Harris gone.

 

[Cryin Out Loud]

Somehow in these tense match situations I always feel the DJ should play over and over the Aandhi Aayi song, you know the one that starts “Daddy Mujhse bola”.

 

[followed]

Bring back Rizwan legside. He won't be bad than haris failure

 

[jnaveen1980]

If you create a definition "Tulla" in wiki dictionary you can use that picture of Harris swinging the bat across

 

[sweep_shot]

SL made a game out of it. They did well with the ball.

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

And i thought if India batted first. Result would have been different. Sorry sir I was wrong.

 

[gazza619]

M Haris on verge of being the man of the tournament @mominsaigol ?
