Pakistan (160/7) defeat Oman (67) empathically by a big margin of 93 runs in their opening match of Asia Cup 2025

[Ali Active]

Pakistan openers should have expressed more here in the power play.

they trying bro

 

[RidiculousMan]

This pitch is a little low on bounce compared to India's game.

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 31/1 (5 overs).

Pitch seems sluggish. Can't see Oman scoring more than 120. Pakistan should try to reach 150-160 (if not more).

 

[cricketmania22]

What a sh*tshow this is!

@Nikhil_cric @BouncerGuy @gazza619 @Major

HARIS IS HERE. My time is now, your time is up.

#EndTheJinx

I thought you were on a flight, got kicked out?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The bounce, at times, is lower than even the worst NSK pitch in Pakistan. Saim got a brute.

 

[prash88]

Mighty Oman keeping Pakistan in check . I’m already scared when bumrah bowls to Farhan and Saim

Mohammed Haris vs Bumrah ll be a treat for the audience...

 

[jnaveen1980]

These guys are not WI monsters. Never will be in 100 years. They misfit them for six.

 

[Greenstorm]

Who is responsible for preparing wickets in this tournament ? India or ACC ?

 

[RidiculousMan]

I think batters are trying to hard to hit. Just need to calm a little and hit from their position

 

[AZulfi]

Haris’s struggles with the bat are are well documented but Farhan also does not look like someone who can score runs against top class bowling attacks. Looks very nervy and unsure in the middle

PSL performance cannot be taken as an index of quality or skill

 

[jnaveen1980]

The bounce, at times, is lower than even the worst NSK pitch in Pakistan. Saim got a brute.

That was a result of pathetic batting. Nothing more.

 

[Justcrazy]

Abhishek is a proper batsman. Anyone saw him two years back he was orthodox. Now he has added sick hitting skills. India rarely plays total hacks. Dube is the closest as he lacks feet movement.

Most Indian batters that come through ranks come through a proper system. School cricket , U/ 13 , U/ 15 , U/ 19 , Ranji etc. They used to play 3 day games at lower level , so know how to build innings.

No flight delayed. I already told @Nikhil_cric

Its just starting now. In 5 mins you wont see comment bro.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

That kept very low.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Should be the last Asia Cup in UAE

 

[Justcrazy]

S I X

Harris takes on the bowler now , need more of those

 

[Nasty Naz]

Can't even manage to bat well against Oman trundlers and giving them heaps of opportunity for wickets. We're just a minnow side at this point.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

No flight delayed. I already told @Nikhil_cric

Its just starting now. In 5 mins you wont see comment bro.

Safe flight, young brother

 

[cricfan432]

Excellent player on flat pitches even against spin, anyways on turning tracks only few batsmen around the world are good. Cut haris some slack. People were after his throat after his performancr on sharjah rank turner.

 

[Human786]

aiming for 175 ?
47/1 in 6

 

[Greenstorm]

I find Haris and Farhan extremely unlikeable cricketers….

They are very likeable cricketers for me.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Haris. Great shot.

 

[gazza619]

Terrible pitch.

Thanks to BCCICC

 

[Sachin fan]

Agent Kaleem

 

[mominsaigol]

Safe flight, young brother

Thanks. LAST COMMENT BEFORE I GO.

@Sachin fan @Nikhil_cric

YOU WANT SOME, COME GET SOME.

PEACE.

 

[Ali Active]

They are very likeable cricketers for me.

This guys looks like he likes babar rizwan

 

[Greenstorm]

47/1 in 6

160 will be enough here.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Haris went into 5th gear all of a sudden.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six. Four.

This over is turning out to be a big one. 15 runs already with 1 ball to go.

 

[Champ_Pal]

160 will be enough here.

Pakistan already has enough.

50 should be enough for these expat part timers.

 

[Ali Active]

Saim got low delivery

 

[sweep_shot]

Powerplay is done.

PAK - 47/1 (6 overs).

6th over went for 16.

 

[gazza619]

@mominsaigol is going to put on some weight tonight, happy eating

 

[Human786]

160 will be enough here.

after that review , I don't know what to expect from this bunch tbh ..

 

[jnaveen1980]

That kept very low.

He was beaten for timing. Even with higher bounce he was going to miss jt

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He was beaten for timing. Even with higher bounce he was going to miss jt

We don't know that. That's pure speculation. He was beaten by the complete lack of bounce

 

[Asif321]

Some confidence atleast before India game for Harris

 

[sweep_shot]

Four.

Haris is on 31*. He is getting his form back.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Mohammad Nadeem is 43 years old, officially

 

[Justcrazy]

Harris needs to go deep he has got some start.

 

[Ali Active]

Some confidence atleast before India game for Harris

haris should stay at 3

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

Oman bolwers are one tier below trundlers .. they have slow pace on seemingly low bounce track.. you need muscle to put these balls out of Park.. Pak batters lack power especially haris

 

[Asif321]

Why no Ramos in panel . Atleast he adds some fun .

 

[gazza619]

Omani uncles doing well

 

[jnaveen1980]

We don't know that. That's pure speculation. He was beaten by the complete lack of bounce

But his swing was complete already

 

[Rajdeep]

Oman is rank 20th in ICC T20 ranking.

What is the point of these matches?

 

[Justcrazy]

It will be interesting to see how Pakistan approach next 8 - 9 overs after Power play , can they keep momentum going

 

[jnaveen1980]

Some of the Oman players look 50 years old lol

 

[RehanG]

minnow bashing Haris

 

[Champ_Pal]

Omani uncles doing well

They look better than UAE and HK part timers.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Oman is rank 20th in ICC T20 ranking.

What is the point of these matches?

Totally meaningless.

 

[sweep_shot]

Six from Haris.

He is smashing well now.

 

[Devadwal]

Proper slogging against women's level bowler . He won't score more than 10 runs against India

 

[Ali Active]

minnow bashing Haris

lol u guys nevee get happy

 

[sweep_shot]

Haris is on 38* from 28 balls.

 

[Rajdeep]

Asia cup should be Ind, Pak, SL, BD and Afg in round robin tournament where each team play with one another twice. Then top 2 sides play the final.

Much better than this farse.

 

[AZulfi]

The average age of Omani team is 36 or 37

 

[Justcrazy]

66 . 1

8 overs gone.

 

[Devadwal]

Oman is rank 20th in ICC T20 ranking.

What is the point of these matches?

To Give Pakistan some victory before phianta by India

 

[prash88]

"Mr Google" Mohd Haris century today?

 

[Vikram1989]

That kept very low.

Any proper batsmen will look for a straight shot(for first ball atleast) instead of going for a hoick with out even looking at the ball.

 

[Justcrazy]

Asia cup should be Ind, Pak, SL, BD and Afg in round robin tournament where each team play with one another twice. Then top 2 sides play the final.

Much better than this farse.

You are right , if they want to include these low ranked teams , have a second tier tournament.

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 66/1 (8 overs).

Haris is on 43*.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Oman is rank 20th in ICC T20 ranking.

What is the point of these matches?

Weak batsmen can pad up their stats. Such opportunities are rare and should be fully utilized.

 

[AZulfi]

I second that

Absolutely.

 

[Rajdeep]

The average age of Omani team is 36 or 37

They are all part time cricketers. Maybe applied sick leave at work today to play this game

 

[Champ_Pal]

Spotted 2 Oman fans in the stands.

The 2 white guys saying Oman-Oman.....

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan forecast is 184 runs here , they need some big overs some where

 

[Devadwal]

Weak batsmen can pad up their stats. Such opportunities are rare and should be fully utilized.

Haris won't get any another chance to score some runs other than against Oman

 

[followed]

This is how these part time cricketers should be treated.
Cricket is like a hobby to these guys. Pakistan is struggling against them is not a good look.

 

[Greenstorm]

Wrist slitters have disappeared now.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Farhan needs to hit out or get out, need to give the others some hacking time too.

 

[Energy]

Well done Haris on the 50. And the management for sending him at 3. That is the position.

 

[sweep_shot]

PAK - 74/1 (9.1 overs).

They are looking good for 180+.

 

[Ali Active]

Said this before haris at 3 has always performed

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

@Rana ab Rizwan ka kya hoga .

 

[sweep_shot]

3rd six for Haris. Haris reaches his fifty.

Came from 32 balls.

 

[Champ_Pal]

ICC should make a rule that expats should not be allowed to play international matches. Until and unless Arabs start playing cricket professionally, teams like Oman, Qatar, UAE should not be allowed to play big teams.
