The Arch Rivals locked horns for the second time in the DP World Asia Cup 2025, with India emerging victorious in the round-up. A strong display of character from both teams, but the Indian batting edge past the Pakistani bowlers to seal a comfortable victory

This is the Super Four stage. Hello and welcome to the highlights of the 14th match of the Asia Cup 2025 played between arch rivals India and Pakistan in Dubai. The pitch looks hard and has a lot of cracks which will assist the spinners. Batting conditions will improve in the second innings. India’s captain Surya Kumar Yadada won the toss and decided to bowl first. Let’s have a look at the playing 11 of both the sides. For Pakistan, there are two changes. Sai Aayub, Sahib Zada Farhan and Fakar Zaman are in the top order. The bowling attack consists of Shahin Shai, Harris Ra and Abraham to name a few. The Indian team made two changes as well. They have a solid batting order with Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson, Shubman Gil in the side. The all round duo of Hardik Pandy and Axar Patel are in the middle. Jasprit Bumrah will lead the bowling attack with Kulip P Yadav and Varun Chakravarti as well. A new chapter in this historic rivalry. Let’s head straight to the action. Now just take a little breather and and and uh and ask Faka to do the job up front. Left and right hand combination. Both Pakun do both Patans and they both understand really well. played a lot of cricket uh with each other in Pishawa region. What do you make of him sad far? I mean he’s scored heavily in in domestic region in the PSL also plenty of hundreds. He’s a he’s a kind of batter who will uh once he get going he gets big runs and of course Zaman is another one good strike rate but it’s just a matter of surviving early doors because you lose early vic then the entire dressing room and try dug out just uh just get under so much pressure because the track record is not that great against uh against India for that the start is going to be crucial. So here we go. Hardik Pandy will start the proceedings. Farane the man on strike. Pakistan would have watched the last game when India played Oman where the Oman openers took their time early on swings. Third man making a real mess of it. Just got the feeling he took it lightly. very casual and the catch goes to ground again down the track. He smashes it down the ground. No half measures here from Faka Zaman. Oh, that’s beautifully played. That’s smart cricket giving himself room. But again the timing of that movement went and now did that carry. Well Sanju Samson is claiming definite edge though. Give me give me one ankle from the behind. Yes please. Okay. Uh take it. Yeah. Roll it forward. Yeah, clearly fingers underneath. Ball hits the fingers and goes up. Yeah, I have a decision for the big spin. Well, out is the decision cuz they feel the fingers are under the ball and he’s livid at the moment. He goes for 15. So left-hander being replaced by left-hander Simayup comes out to the middle. Oh, lovely shot. Oh, that’s quality. That’s why he’s rated so highly. Oh, that’s put away. They’ve just been taken on the full are slightly skeptical. This could be a wicket. There could be no doubt in this catch. Oh, he’s dropped it again. The second time India have dropped the catch. Is it? Anxiety setting in. Kuliv Yadav is the man. It was Abhishek Sharma earlier. Just like that. Another handsome hit over Mirro. Zada. Farhan is looking good today. 55 for one. Now is that going to go over the field and now he’s got his hand to it. And this could be six. Go deep again. Going down. How far has that gone? That’s a beauty. What a great way to start the over. That’s a fine shot from Aayou. A fine stroke again and that’s gone over the top for six. So you saw that graphic showing the problems they’ve had in the middle order. Bit short. Pounced on that. It’s hit it pretty well. That’s gone for six runs. That’s a big six. It’s in the upper level as well. And it’s also 50 runs. Top edge. Good catch. Now that’s a good catch. Now he’s taken a fine grab. Guilty for dropping earlier, but now he’s taken a good one. And this is a very good catch. Running in. There was a fieldder near the 30 m circle, but the one running forward has a better chance of getting there as we saw with Abhishek taking that catch to give Shivam Du the wicket of Sai Mayup for 21 in a score of 93 for two in the 11th. S Tallet now who’s come in at number four gone the other way and this could be out. Finally Kiad gets a wicket. That’s his habit normally. Today was slightly different. He’s got his first. Yeah, he might want to look away. S Talat, he goes for the reverse by no means out of the middle. A simple catch to Varan Chakawi. Pulp Yadav you cannot keep him out of the wickets. Got three in the previous game against Pakistan. One already. Hussein Talad goes for 10 PS and 110 for three. He’s lost his bat and soon he might lose his wicket as well. He does. Shivam Dub has got his second and Pakistan have to be careful. They’ve had a good start and they don’t want to squander that away. And to make matters worse, it is Sai Zadada Farane who will have to walk back providing all the impetus this time round. Chasing one almost having a blind swipe at a short wide delivery. Dub rolling his fingers over. Captain takes a simple catch and that is the undoing of the opener. Played a really good hand but he folds for 58. Farhan of 45. Three big hits in his knock as well. Pakistan lose their fourth for 115. There is a man down there. It’s Har Pandy. He’s got good hands, but it’s too far for him. Six runs. Good connection from the skipper. Brilliant start. Club that tie. Has it gone all the way? Yes. Six runs. So that’s a good start to the over edge runs away for four. Much needed for Pakistan. Third members up in the circle. Bouncing outside the line of off start getting a full toss and doing a great deal with it. Fabulous over so far from Jasper Dumla. What’s happening there? He’s gone up. I was just looking at the fruit machine scorecard and this happened. Uh chief director run out referral. Give me your best side onone angle please. Are the bowlers. Okay. Bats in the air. When the bails are off, I have a decision for the big screen. Well, that is quite extraordinary. That is just lack of awareness. Not surprised he’s shaking his head as he walks away. Mohammad Nazare cannot afford to get involved in that sort of scenario. He’s gone for 21. 149 for five. First ball hits it up high. How far has it gone? That’s the key. Far enough as far as Pakistan’s concerned. Short. Hammered that one. That’s in the vicinity of Oh, another one down. My goodness. This is Shen Gill. He’s put that one down. Gone over the top of the keeper and that’s going to run away to the boundary. They won’t be minding too much. Right now Pakistan will they get the runs providing they get some last ball sliced away. There is a man out there and it goes over the top for six. So that’s a good result for the last ball for Pakistan. takes him past that average score, average winning score. Batting first takes him to 171 exactly with that last blow. Runs on the board. Big game under pressure. What a shot from Fahim Ashra. 14 of seven. And look at that maximum six of the last ball. 20 of eight. Striker 250. Good cameo innings from Fahim Ashrav. Like you said 171 is an average winning score here in Dubai. But still plenty of work to done for Pakistan when they came when they will come out to bowl. 171 for five Pakistan. That’s where they ended up. Let’s have a look at the batting card for Han. 58 off 45. That was really good work. He lost control of the bat when he got out. So he’d be annoyed with himself. He’s having problems with the hand all throughout that innings. But if you look through that rest of the lineup for Pakistan, there are a lot of guys who are getting around about a run a ball. As we have a quick look at the bowling card. Yeah. Pandy got a wicket bow well and then of course Bumra went for runs 45 and his four chakra bow well as well. 25 for no wicket. Kulip Pyad again 31 for one. And Axar Patel only bought one. Dubai pick up the bowlers. Four overs, 33 runs and two wickets. I know it’s an important game this one. It’s always a huge game between these two teams. That’s what India need. 172 Stadium has got really good support for both teams out there. This is going to be fascinating to watch. Don’t go too far away for the second half of this important match. Now, the highest tiger successfully chased by India versus Pakistan and T20 Nationals is 160 at the MCG back in 2022. So this will be a record if they happen to get there be the highest chase if they happen to get there and Gil and Abishek Sharma the guys are going to start. It is Shaheen Charafrey going to be opening the bowling as he normally does for Pakistan likes to set a nice tone. This guy is a serious player. He’s got some great talent and his partner very much the same girl. He’s a magnificent player. He’s been around for some time now. test captain of course as well. See their two prize wickets. That’s certainly the case. This is going to be a great matchup. Shine Sha Freedy to Abhishek. Swings the ball away from the left-hander. Right over underway. Massive game. First ball, short delivery first half and it’s picked up beautifully for six. That has set some tone. No problem whatsoever. He is unbelievable player this Sabish. Little bit leg side. He’s got that away comfortably. Not going to get away with that line against this batting. That’s gone for four. That’s through that cover region. And that’s another one. A gift the first one. A little bit short and wide. The second given the treatment as well in the air. Can this be taken? No. It was an excellent try, but ball was always going away from him. Oh, that’s strong. That’s terrific. Picked up that length and just slapped it over the top for four. Oh, that’s drill along the ground for extra cover. That’s a great shot. What a nice way to finish the over. stop those singles. I don’t think the ball uh hit the stumps. I think it was M the Haris’s hand, but we’re still going to go upstairs and check. TV director. The keeper misses the ball. I want to see whether the ball going to hit the stumps. Okay, roll it forward over all the way. All the way. Thank you. Batsman well inside. The wicket’s broken by the arm of the wicket keeper. Ball is not in his hand. I have a decision for big spin. Yeah, tried to grab it. Had to get a bit from behind his back and obviously got a bit tangled there with that arm going on first. Knock all the BS off. Waited. Had so much time and he’s got that away. One bounce and it’s gone for four. set that one very high indeed. How far has that one gone? That’s gone far enough. That’s six. That is a brilliant shot again. So clean. What a talent Abishek is. Just plug in with the vacant field over that slashing off stump once again. In the start of the over his first ball faced a Sharma. This patch is hardest row for four. Short and put away. Abishek Sharma at the moment seems to have answers to pretty much everything. A straight hit for four. Brilliant. Full of class. The Gil puts that away for four. It’s important to hit the ball between the fielders and that’s exactly what he’s done. Short a rank long hob deserved that treatment. Once again the overclo the boundary where’s this ball sailing to into the fence and into the boundary goes another big six of Sharma once again the big shot doesn’t have the distance will this be taken oh he’s palmed it over he’s made an absolute mess of that as zaman And that’ll mean another six to the total of Abishek Sharma. India moved to 83. The reverse and played to absolute perfection away from the fielder and into the fence as well. He will raise a bat to a full house here in Dubai as he brings up his third international T20 i50 to go along with two incredible hundreds. What a player. What a player indeed. Incredible shot once again. I was wondering whether he’s going to go for the big shot and get to a half century. He didn’t quite go for the lofted shot, but he played this exquisitly well. Boden straight away after the break. Pakistan get the breakthrough. Well, right through the defense of Shuban Gill and the stumps rattled. Good delivery from Fahim Ashrav to get rid of Shubanil who scored 47. Played really well. Let’s have a look at the wicket. Cross seam maybe nipped back a big tad bit. India offst going good delivery good length and they got the first breakthrough couple of wickets here can maybe little put little pressure on India but right now India is on top and what an innings from Gil 47 of 28 105 for one to the skipper comes out to the middle Surya Kumar yada back at number three it’s chipped in the air catch taken it’s again Harris Ralph Who’s got Sury Kumar Vadov mentioned this is a good matchup and he’s got the captain that has second wicket for Pakistan and that too the skipper Indian skipper Surak Kumar Yadav top edge good catch by third man they’re not easy especially in this ground let’s have a look he’s going towards his favorite area square leg fine leg but got the top edge Very well judged catch by Bra at third man. His second wicket for Pakistan. Skipper departs for without any runs. 106 for two now. Oh, that’s a good strike. Nice pace and swinging it down the ground. Literally flat batted it for four. Oh, lovely shot this. just carved it through the offside. Had rest away to the boundary. Goes goes big again. He’s just incredible. Abhishek Sharma stand and deliver. Oh dear. This could be Yes. taken somewhere caught in two minds. I think when he hit that shot, it seemed like he was just bailing out. In the end, it was an in between shot and a good low catch taken. But an incredible innings comes to an end. There’s some Pakistani excitement there. Yeah, almost a chip shot in the end. the toe end of the bat and he just had a look as to see if Harstro made the ground. He did eventually took a good catch, a low catch diving in but not after Abhishek Sharma praised an absolutely incredible knockoff 74 39 deliveries India 123 for three. Oh, this is another guy. This is the thing with this Indian batting lineup. Oh, that’s a great shot. Really good shot. He’s been quiet for a while. Takwarma ping clean him up. Just a perfect length from uh Harris Ro. 10th things change here for Pakistan. We have to see required run seven plus now. Yes, right on the money and looking to swing across the line here and right through his defense. No contact. Big gap between bat and pad. In the end, a crossbattered heave. Ball crashing into the stumps. Samson goes for 13. 148 for four. Oh, glorious. Superbly timed. Yes, it was over pitched on middle leg, but for the first ball you play put it away. Got into a great position. Oh, that’s swung away for six. got into a great position there. That’s a clean strike. Clean as for six. That’s India home and dry. 74 for four. They win by six wickets and they continue their domination over Pakistan in the T20 format of the game. It’s the highest chase against Pakistan in T20 cricket. The previous highest 160 at the G in the in the World Cup. This is the summary. India winning the toss electing to bowl first and they were little loose in the beginning. Banan scoring 582 21 for Simu. Mohammad Nawas 21. Pakistan could only manage 171. At one stage it seemed that might be a real fighting total but uh the two opener Abishek and Gil really broke the back in the in the first 10 overs and uh and a comfortable win by six wickets by by India.
