Pakistan (146/9) secure a 41-run victory against UAE (105) and qualify for the Super Four of the Asia Cup 2025

[Rana]

Need some more dots

 

[sweep_shot]

these singles are making me very nervous. Need wickets

Singles are not threatening. RRR is almost 9 now.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Ask him to chew gum and bat. That is harder.

or keep adjusting gloves after every delivery

 

[Rana]

pak physio doing concussion test to the umpire?

Maybe ICC physio did boycott

 

[imshally81]

Finally a boundary

 

[jnaveen1980]

or keep adjusting gloves after every delivery

yea why is he doing that lol Is it his way of handling nerves?

 

[Hikaru]

UAE has done well to keep it alive. Too much for them, but decent fight.

 

[Rana]

74 off 49

I’m getting Australia semi final vibes here

 

[Asad T]

yea why is he doing that lol Is it his way of handling nerves?

probably mild OCD

 

[Rana]

73 off 8 with 7 wickets in hand

I have zero trust on Rauf at the moment

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Saim looks like one of those bowlers somebody will target massively. He bowls good balls. In between doll out lot of filths.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

yea why is he doing that lol Is it his way of handling nerves?

force of habbit

 

[oatmeal]

Pakistan is letting UAE hang around. If they don't lose any wickets in the next 2 overs the total isn't too challenging

 

[castortroy]

Surely the Pakistan think tank can't continue with the current set up.

This team has reached the lowest of lows, being on par with some of the other association teams and minnows now.

 

[saabir]

Who?

What about Faisal Akram?

Yes Faisal Akram . Seems a good future prospect. If groomed properly can be Like Kuldeep Yadav

 

[imshally81]

8 runs in Saim over..
Overall good spell from him

 

[sweep_shot]

UAE - 74/3 (12 overs).

73 to win from 8 overs.

 

[jnaveen1980]

You have Rauf and Shaheen. Why are you scared?

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

This Saim looks like one of those bowlers somebody will target massively. He bowls good balls. In between doll out lot of filths.

Simran Jeet bowled lot filth. He got away with it

 

[Rana]

Well, we need a wicket or we don’t?

Asif Khan is next

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

UAE should win from here.

 

[imshally81]

Review time

 

[Rana]

What was that review?

Pakistan losing the plot here?!

 

[saabir]

Match is nicely poised not over yet. Need to get more popcorn . I love low scoring games

 

[oatmeal]

That didn't even look close enough to be umpires call

 

[Asad T]

Shaheen MoTM if we win?

 

[Rana]

Missing an extra set of stumps!

 

[Asad T]

Match is nicely poised not over yet. Need to get more popcorn . I love low scoring games

rrr is 9.4
rauf can still help UAE's cause here

 

[sweep_shot]

74 off 49

I’m getting Australia semi final vibes here

UAE is not Australia.

I think Pakistan should win.

 

[psyoptica]

what a stupid review

 

[jnaveen1980]

Impact outside the leg stump has to be certifiably poor review

 

[sweep_shot]

UAE have another good hitter. Haider Ali. He played well against Pakistan during the tri-series.

 

[Rana]

Why Agha not trusting Khushdil here?

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

The first thing to check in DRS is the pitch map and where the ball is pitching and hitting.

Then edge or hawkeye in whatever sequence based on time. 2 ghantay laga kar edge check kr rahay hotay hain and the ball is not even in line of the stumps.

 

[PAKFAN12]

Good over by Abrar.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This parashar averages 13 in T20 internationals

 

[sweep_shot]

70 to win from 44 balls.

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Dhruv Paraashar with career best batting

 

[Rana]

67 off 42

So doable!

 

[Rana]

UAE is not Australia.

I think Pakistan should win.

But pakistan is pakistan

 

[jnaveen1980]

67 off 42

So doable!

Pakistan has to be very ill disciplined for that to happen.

 

[adi_62941]

There are 3-4 passengers in a team. Without doing anything they are surviving.

 

[Asad T]

Why Agha not trusting Khushdil here?

maybe he'll do one over to fill in Mo Nawaz's quota

 

[saabir]

rrr is 9.4
rauf can still help UAE's cause here

With 7 wicket remaining and Asif Khan to come . Anything can happen. It's do or die for both the teams

 

[Rana]

Pakistan has to be very ill disciplined for that to happen.

We haven’t been ideal

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

UAE batters doing great. Taking Game deep

 

[Rana]

Just bowl full please Harris

 

[imshally81]

The Husnain guy is better than Harris

 

[sweep_shot]

I have finally crossed 50,000 posts.

Asia Cup helped me to reach it faster. LOL.

UAE - 80/3 (13 overs).

67 to win from 7 overs.

 

[Banda298]

I only hate from inside but your people show us what hate really is. It's been happening since 1947 and it will keep happening.

Saanp ke bacche saanp hi hote hai.

So u admit that being born out erstwhile India , you people are snakes too ? good very good.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If you decided not to lose your wicket here you can do that. Guys like waseem for UAE, sediquille from Afghanistan have to realize that

 

[Rana]

Why does Wasim Akram always call “Af ghanistan” as “akh”wanistan?

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Why are we not trying Khushdil? Why is he in team then

 

[Rana]

There you go

The signs are there

Pakistan can botch this.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lovely fielding over throws as well

 

[amvbfm]

These two are taking it deep. A 15-20 run over here will put them in a really good position.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Doesn't salman agha bowl off spin?

 

[adi_62941]

The Husnain guy is better than Harris

Worst

 

[Rana]

Just bowl it full!

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

These two looking very uncomfortable against pace

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Doesn't salman agha bowl off spin?

I think he has forgotten about that

 

[Rana]

Unnecessary wicket

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rauf gets a wicket

In comes Asif

 

[imshally81]

Out

 

[RidiculousMan]

Perfectly timed wicket. Game onto Asif Khan now. He can take this away

 

[The Bald Eagle]

O no Asif coming, and he is not Pakistan one

These two looking very uncomfortable against pace

 

[Rana]

These two looking very uncomfortable against pace

Not the Chopra guy

He’s late on it.

 

[oatmeal]

That's an important wicket

 

[Devadwal]

Rauf strikes.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

@RedwoodOriginal @Nikhil_cric There is dew on the ground at this time. Effect of delayed game in showing up

They don't have the players after Waseem and Sharafu.

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is a joke guys like parashar playing internationals batting at 4 or 5.

 

[Usman Chadda]

They don't have the players after Waseem and Sharafu.

Asif is a good hitter

 

[saabir]

Both these UAE batters have only one game that is to take single or double. They are not skilled enough to hit big..as im typing another wicket falls

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Chacha ki aish hai yaar

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

So they had Asif Khan and sent him in now??

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Wow Asif gone,

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Abrar gets Asif

 

[Devadwal]

They don't have the players after Waseem and Sharafu.

Yes and They gave away a lot of runs in the last eight balls, and that will probably be the difference. They can chase maximum 125.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Asif is a good hitter

Not reliable.

 

[oatmeal]

Asif Khan gone
