Pakistan went down fighting by 19 runs to India to claim silver medal at Asian Games 2026. The reason for Pakistan's defeat in the final was slow start to the innings with Pakistan being 39 for 3 in 6 overs at one stage and Saim Ayub's 19th over of the indian innings when he conceded 23 runs.
Had Pakistan got Abhishek Sharma's wicket much earlier then they would have been in a far better situation in the match as Abhishek Sharma top scored with 61 runs for India. Having said that Hassan Nawaz played a gem of an innings with 96 runs off 54 balls which took Pakistan close to the target.
In the end what I would like to say is that this match which was the gold medal clash didnt turn out to be one sided despite India being the firm favourites to win the final.
