So the crying and the conspiracy theories have started even before the tournament started, lol. I swear even Bangla fans are not this big cry babies or this much into brain dead conspiracies.

Afghanistan purposely playing below par against India is not a conspiracy. Only someone with a constipated mind will not see the truth.

Afghanistan barely won against UAE the other day, did they deliberately play below par?

They are a very inconsistent team as shown by their ranking and blow hot and cold depending on their days.

For example they were very bad in the first T20 against pak here and then played great in the second one

Did they deliberately play below par the first game?

Taking the inconsistency of a near minnow team and using it to make conspiracy theories about their loss to a powerhouse like india is one of the most hilarious cope I ever seen.

I am sorry about comparing you to a toddler, even toddlers cope better with losses.

If anything UAE under performed against pakistan deliberately. First match muhammad waseem ran himself out. Second match dropped several sitters. Then they gifted wickets to Abrar.

Afghanistan has pushed India very close in multiple games.
2018 Asia Cup , 2019 world cup and in a couple of T20s.

It's just that Pakistanis cannot comprehend India not losing to them even a single time while they have been getting smashed left right and centre by them. Well it's easy to understand... Pakistan are a way inferior team than India.

Bangladesh vs Pakistan final.

Bangla have a new power hitting coach , Julian Wood, and considering their batsmen are more talented than Indian batsmen , according to their own posters, nothing should stop them now.

Pakistan will turn up in the UAE with a lot of firepower, fastest bowling attack, 2 mystery spinners and a lot of jazba and daler.

Should be a great contest

Bangaldesh has actually got some decent left handers in their batting.
 
Bangla the world's most talented team never to win a trophy, always the stars and BCCI conspire against them
 
Do you believe India is the number one team and favourite to win the Asia Cup?

Salman Ali Agha: “In T20, I don’t think anyone is a favourite because you have to play well on the day. Just 3–4 overs can change the game.”

:kp
 
I wouldn't be surprised if India end up not winning it. All it takes is one bad game in the final. :inti
 
India are favorites.

Pakistan and SL are the dark horses.

Afghanistan generally bottle it during knockouts (2024 semi, final of AFG/PAK/UAE tri-series). So, I think they are unlikely to win it.

I hope India will not win it. Any other team but India. :inti:inti
 
This is a no-brainer.

Everyone knows the answer, even if they don't want to admit it here..
 
Pak bowling has been good, just won the triseries and prepared for the conditions. They have a great chance
 
India is the favorite and after that, we have a tie between Afghanistan and Pakistan...
 
Clinical performance by Sri Lanka.

I don't know if anyone watchrd the match here - they were damn sharp in field and absolutely gun with the bat.

I think Sri Lanka and Bangladesh may go through.

Afghanistan generally melts down under pressure.

Also - toss becomes very important in UAE.
 
Looks like one bad day in the qualifying event cost Nepal, but they would have been better value in this tournament than UAE.

BD need to beat Afghanistan tomorrow and hope that SL beat Afghanistan. In that case, both BD and SL can go through and NRR wouldn't matter.

BD players play spin well.. I am sure they can beat this Afganistan side... all they need to post 150 on the noard if they bat first.

Let's see.

Afghans are favorite. BD have to play really well to beat this Afghan side.

They should also try to win big as NRR may become a factor (if SL end up losing to Afghanistan).
 
sweep_shot said:
LOL. Yeah. Well done.

BD needed to win today.

Anyway, hoping for SL to beat Afghanistan now so that BD can go to Super Four. :inti

This afghan side cant win against SL.. they play spinners better than any Asian side.... so SL and BD will qualify for the super four
 
So happy for Bangladesh and Sri Lanka

A lot of RizBar lovers rated Afghanistan so highly
 
A big slap on the face of Basit Ali, Tanvir Ahmed and Rashid Latif….

You know what?

A big slap on the face of Shoaib Akhtar too.

They were all rooting for Afghanistan because they wanted Pakistan to lose and they can run their agendas!

Chopra has a hard on for BD always. Bro talks smack about them each opportunity he gets lol ... I have noticed this.

Yeah, I don't think they mean any malice. BD has been underachieving in Cricket arena for a very long time. I think Manjrekar and Bhogle are very balanced.

Congrats on getting to super 4s.
You proved you are better than Oman, Uae, HK and Afghan.

BangBoys proving to be a powerhouse:salute

BD didn't just reach Super Four but also beat SL in Super Four. India and Pakistan are also not out of range. :inti

Also, this is not the first time BD have reached Super Four. :inti

BD went to finals of 2012, 2016, and 2018 editions. BD went to Super Fours in 2023 and 2025 editions.

Last decade or so, BD did well in Asia Cups. :inti

That's why I said , congratulation.

They have done well to reach super 4 which they have done previously as well.

It is indeed a not a mean achievement to be the top 4 amongst India Pak SL Afghan Oman HK UAE.

Pakistan advanced to the next round of a tournament unlike in 2024 where they were knocked out and USA went ahead instead.

And nothing because of your favourites Babar and Rizwan?

Isn’t it clear, the team does well without Babar and Rizwan?

Bhai if you think the final they reached was because of RizBar genius,

Then we know your priorities and understanding of the game.

But you are always upset.

against oman?? UAe? Afghanistan? Bangladesh.

I am not upset... Our standards are getting low.. We are minnow bashers?

Saar.. we defeated india in 2021 WC then in asia cup.. We beat NZ in semis.. BRO... come on.
Click to expand...

The reason "we" beat India in that tournament was largely because of our bowling efforts. Also, if you look back at that tournament almost every game was won by the side chasing.

Had Pakistan batted first against India and NZ, the outcome could've been very different.

Babar and Rizwan did bugger all in that tournament and they got found out in the Semi-Final against Australia.
