Pakistan vs India Asia cup 2025 Final

 

Pakistan although lost to India in the final of the Asia Cup didnt disappoint me throughout the tournament. Pakistan only lost to India throughout the tournament and that too thrice but they were good enough to beat strong teams like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Our batting once again let us down after being in a commanding position when they were 114 for three at one stage. From then onwards they collapsed to 146 runs all out. All the Pakistani batsmen got out slogging and playing irresponsible shots as the pressure was put on them by the Indian spinners. India Chasing 147 runs all Pakistani bowlers bowled well except Haris Rauf. In fact Haris Rauf 's bowling in the Final is what cost us the Final.  

In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan performed reasonably well throughout the tournament ending up as being runners up. 

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Super 4 Asia Cup 2025

 

Pakistan definitely has a chance of reaching the final of Asia Cup if they beat Bangladesh today. Historically Pakistan have always dominated Bangladesh and always start as favourites to beat Bangladesh. But in Cricket you never know as Pakistan is an unpredictable team.

Our batting did well against India but our bowlers let us down in that match so even our bowling is not reliable. A lot will depend on the toss as batting second is an advantage in Dubai particularly because of the dew factor. 

Pakistani batsmen have had a good game in only one match so far and that too against India in the Super 4 match by scoring 171 runs on board. Saim Ayub's form is a matter of big concern as his wicket puts a lot of pressure on the Pakistani team and the rest of the Pakistani batsmen. 

In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan should overcome Bangladesh to reach the final against India.

Pakistan reach Super 4 of Asia Cup 2025

 

Pakistan reached Super 4 by defeating UAE by 41 runs. Our batting again failed this time but it was our bowling which came to our rescue once again. Our bowling is great and there is nothing wrong with our bowling but our batting is faltering time and again infact in all three matches of Asia Cup, If Pakistan are to reach the final of the tournament and do well in Super 4 then our batting needs to improve drastically

Saim Ayub hasnt scored a single run throughout the tournament so far and Pakistan often get in early trouble in their innings because of Saim ayub's form. Fakhar Zaman is the only consistent performer in batting for the Pakistani team while the rest of the batting is totally failing. I hope our batters come into form when we face India and Sri Lanka. Against Bangladesh our bowling may come in for the rescue but against India and Sri lanka our batting needs to click too.

In the end what I would like to say is that we are clearly missing Babar azam the most in our batting and to a lesser extent Muhammad Rizwan as well. 

Pakistan vs India Asia Cup 2025 review

 

Pakistan were thrashed by India by 7 wickets in their Asia Cup match of group stage. Pakistan's batting wilted under pressure facing and playing 63 dot balls in their innings of 127 runs. Pakistani batsmen were found to be clueless against the spin of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel and against the pace of Jasprit Bumrah. If a tailender like Shaheen Afridi can score  34 runs of 16 balls then why cant the rest of the batsmen play in a similar fashion.

The Indians didnt shake hands with Pakistani players at the end of the match which left a bad taste in the mouth. The Indians showing clear lack of sportsman spirit and etiquettes. They in the end dedicated this win to their armed forces which shows that the Indians incurred heavy losses during the conflict.

In the end what I would like to say is that if Pakistani team cannot beat the top sides in the world then beating only minnows is absolutely useless by them.

Pakistan vs India Asia Cup 2025

 

Pakistan will find it extremely tough against India in their group match of the Asia Cup. Not only Pakistan's batting will be tested but also their so called champion bowlers will be tested as well. Pakistan's batting needs a lot to be desired as they scored a modest 160 for 7 against an associate team Oman.

Only Sahibzada Farhan, Muhammad Haris and Fakhar Zaman played a substantial innings against Oman while the rest disappointed. They should have scored atleast 200 runs against minnows Oman instead they ended with only 160 runs on board on a batting pitch.  These signs are not good in batting playing against India as india usually scores huge totals.

In the end what I would like to say is that it will take a major miracle if Pakistan are to beat this Indian team in Asia Cup 2025.

Pakistan wins the Tri nation series UAE 2025

Pakistan against all expectations and predictions won the twenty20 International UAE tri nation series 2025 by defeating Afghanistan in the final by a convincing margin of 75 runs. No one expected this final to be such a one sided affair and in fact Afghanistan looked favourites to win the title after they restricted Pakistan to 141 for 8 in their innings. No one expected Afghanistan to not even give a fight and collapse to 66 runs all out. 

Mohammad Nawaz bowled the spell of his life to take 5 wickets and in this way played a key role in dismissing Afghanistan to 66 all out. He not only shone with the ball but also with the bat scoring 25 runs which helped Pakistan to a total of 141. 

Pakistan were ruthless with the ball and didnt allow the Afghan batsmen to comeback in the game. Not only Muhammad Nawaz but also Abrar Ahmed and Sufiyan Muqeem chipped in with two wickets apiece.

In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan is looking good to finish at least as runners up in the Asia Cup to follow.  

Pakistan vs Afghanistan final tri nation series 2025 preview

 

Pakistan and Afghanistan are two evenly matched sides with equal abilities. Here the toss will play an important role in determining the eventual winner of the final as the  team that bats first has won every match in this tournament so far. 

Afghanistan seem to be having a little edge over Pakistan mentally, strategically and ability wise too. Their strategy of starting slow with wickets in hand seems to pay a lot of dividends as they gradually get to a match winning total.  Whereas Pakistan's strategy of all out attack right from the beginning of their innings in batting is too risky and unfruitful.

In Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran they have reliable openers who almost always give them a flying start. In Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi and Noor Ahmad they have unplayable spinners. so in this way Pakistan will be facing a formidable team like Afghanistan in the final.

In the end what i would like to say is that it will take a minor miracle and something extraordinary from Pakistan to win this final against Afghanistan.  

Pakistan vs Afghanistan match 4 of trination series 2025

 

Pakistan were outclassed by Afghanistan by 18 runs in the fourth match of the UAE tri nation series 2025. Pakistan team although is as talented as Afghanistan do not follow the right strategy of maintaining high strike rates giving strike rate more importance than winning the match itself.. In this match in particular in order to score at a high run rate Pakistani batsmen got themselves out instead of keeping in wickets in hand just like the Afghans did in their innings of building partnership.

Afghanistan were slow early in their innings but when they started a partnership they had momentum in their hands and from then on they grew in confidence increasing the run rate. Their innings in batting was much more sensible than that of Pakistan. Pakistan need Babar Azam in their team who is the only sensible batsman in Pakistani cricket.

In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan will find it tough to beat Afghanistan in the Final of this tournament.
