00:00This is the final stage. Hello and welcome to the highlights of the final match of the
00:12Asia Cup 2025 played between arch rivals India and Pakistan in Dubai. Pitch looks quite dry
00:20and as a lot of cracks will assist the spinners. Batting conditions will improve in the second
00:25innings. India's captain Surya Kumar Yadav won the toss and decided to bowl first.
00:35Let's have a look at the playing 11 of both the sides. For Pakistan, Sayyam Ayub, Saibzadha Farhan
00:41and Fakhar Zaman in the top order. Bowling attack of Shaheen Afridi, Harris Roth and Abraar Ahmed.
00:51The Indian team with three changes overall. They have a solid batting order with Abhishek,
00:54Sharma, Sanju Samson, Shubhangil and Tilak Verma in the side. Jaspreet Bumrah will lead the bowling
01:00attack with Kuldi Pyadav and Varun Chakravarti. All to play for in this final contest to attain
01:09the Asian glory. Let's head straight to the action.
01:13The two openers for Pakistan, Jaspreet Bumrah is playing today but it will be Shivam Dubai
01:20who will bowl the first over. It's a big ask from Dube to just come and
01:26take a new ball. Only playing with two seamers. Dube is one of those cricketer who can bat also the
01:32length in the batting India. But a big responsibility on his shoulder to bowl well with the new ball.
01:41Left hand, right hand combination up front from Pakistan, Pakistan, Pakistan and Saab Zadha Farhan.
01:49Saab Zadha Farhan is in a very, very good nick. It's been in good nick for the last whole year.
01:57Shivam Dubai will take a new ball. 40 games, 18 wickets, economy rate on the higher side. But it's a big pressure. Pressure game.
01:59Bowling with the new ball for the first time, Shivam Dubai.
02:15So all set.
02:18Shivam Dubai will bowl the first ball.
02:35So all set.
02:41Shivam Dubai will bowl the first ball.
02:47So Farhan and Bakhar Zaman opening. It will be interesting to see the pace of this pitch. There's not much grass on the surface.
02:57The ball will come onto the bat when it's hard and new but might just slow up after that.
03:06He gets hold of this. It's up in the air.
03:11And one bounce over the rope. So the first boundary of the final.
03:18Adjusted well there.
03:21Dubé saw him coming.
03:24Bowled it a little shorter.
03:26But a boundary to end the overnight.
03:30This is, this is a meaty blow.
03:37And it's gone the distance.
03:41Over the top. Nicely played. That's an important boundary.
03:53Six done. Power play finish. 45 for none.
04:00Hit that beautifully.
04:03He's dined out on that one. He's hit it for six.
04:06That's a great way to finish the over.
04:0811 from it. Seven done. 56 for none.
04:12Swings that away. Deep over mid-wicket.
04:19Six for Fokker.
04:24It's that away. Back with a point.
04:29They should come back for two.
04:31They will come back for two.
04:33And a fifth T20. Half century.
04:37Four subs out of Faham.
04:40His second against India.
04:42And at a very important time.
04:49Gone up.
04:51And it's gone long.
04:53And long enough.
04:55Six more.
04:57Now, straight to Deep mid-wicket.
05:04Tilak Vodhamar, I think it is out there at Deep mid-wicket.
05:07And Varuncak Kravarti has got India's first.
05:11And boy, do they need that.
05:14You can see that.
05:15Not at short.
05:16And bounce a little bit more as well.
05:19Didn't quite middle it.
05:22Farhan.
05:23Yes.
05:24He understandably is upset with himself.
05:28He was batting so well.
05:29Pakistan would have wanted him to carry on.
05:32Gone for 57.
05:3384 for one in the 10th over.
05:35And it'll be time for drinks as well.
05:39And Saimoub.
05:43Pulls this one.
05:44There is a man in the deep.
05:46Can't get around.
05:47And can't save the four either.
05:49On the left here.
05:54Carrying and taken.
05:55Gulldeep gets the wicket.
06:01Let's have a look in the replay.
06:02He was a quicker delivery.
06:04And then, like I said,
06:05went up in the air and very good catch.
06:07But Jasmin Krumah had back for twine.
06:10A very important break-through for India at this stage of the game.
06:13Went into 13th over.
06:14Gulldeep gets his first wicket.
06:16And Saimoub departs for 14.
06:18for 14 Pakistan hundred and thirteen for two
06:27it looks a good shot by the fielder has come around and he'll take the catch
06:31Akshal Patel has struck for India Rinku Singh takes the catch
06:40they balled in turn and went straight to mid off and good catch by Rinku Singh
06:47easy as you like and Pakistan under pressure now absolutely under pressure
06:53third wicket gone for Pakistan Haris goes for two runs in fact without scoring
06:59any 114 for three it's gone again might just go all the way too high and too long
07:09for Subman Gill great strike from Pakistan under pressure
07:17slice it and take him
07:24Pakal Zaman is gone
07:27Warren Chakravarti the man pushed it a little wider
07:36but a delivery outside of some outside his reach he played that shot got the top edge
07:41and a very simple catch
07:46Kuldeep Yadav took the catch they got a very important wicket of informed batter
07:51Pakal Zaman gone for 46 Pakistan now later under pressure 126 for 4
07:58but this is a wicket
08:05another wicket has fallen here
08:07Akshal Patel
08:09has got his second
08:11it's suddenly Pakistan losing their way
08:18let's have a look slow delivery not turning
08:21he made his mind before the ball deliver are gonna go slot sweep and beautifully bold good variation slow the pace top edge easy catch
08:30second brick is for Akshal and Pakistan again under pressure now
08:34who sent a lucky pass for one one thirty one for five
08:37he'll have another probably Sanju Samson has called everyone else off it he wants it it's gone hard he takes it
08:49beautiful balling ball clipping a little bit and then with the open base of the blade hitting straight up in the in for Samson to do the rest of the job
08:56Pakistan tumbling Pakistan all over the place
09:11I got gone for aid Pakistan losing his sixth wicket for 133
09:17that one's close
09:23well there's an appeal there Kuldeep's interested here this was the wrong and
09:28as well it was straighter is it doing enough just to clip that leg stump this
09:34one has been given not out could try again they do they do over to the
09:40television umpire he'd be calling to be calling to police you know the back
09:50they're satisfied no bad pinball go to ball better when ready please
09:55go to ball better when ready please for that is coming for your decision is not out
10:01you think outside of impact in line you got this heating for that don't feel like I'm
10:09going to take this you told you only to change your
10:11original decision of not out to out
10:14stand by you're on camera make the signal
10:19well he had four wild swings did Shaheen none of them connected and now he is out
10:26LBW and Kuldeep's back to it is last over
10:30Shaheen Afridi gone without scoring Pakistan in further trouble at 134 for 7
10:43another one there we go
10:48Tilakwarma the man at mid-off and what an over third wicket in this over
10:58slow it's looped up fame thinks I'll have some of that but it's straight to
11:06Tilakwarma down at long off he is one of the best in the Indian side and holds on
11:13to it comfortably crumbled from a hundred and thirteen for one to a hundred and
11:19thirty-four for eight
11:26Paris Ralph gets his innings underway with a cultured edge down the third for four
11:38seven of the over and look what Bumrah did is master of balling that those
11:52Yorkers another one bites the dust Pakistan losing the ninth wicket but it's gone for
11:58one hundred and thirteen for one to one forty six all out in no time
12:2133 for nine Pakistan they were going well they started really really well but full
12:37marks to this Indian team and the skipper on the Pakistan fans faces they had high
12:44expectations after the start from Sobh Zahra Fahan with his 57 and Fakir Zaman with
12:5246 off 35 who played well apart from that 14 from Saim Aoub the rest is a
13:00telephone number nothing for Shivam Dube but he did a good job opening up with the
13:06new ball Bumrah with a couple Varun Chakravati with two Aksha Patel with two and
13:12Kuldeep with four but look at the bottom line 84 113 and then an absolute
13:19procession of wickets for Pakistan to be bundled out for 146 and 19 point one
13:27overs the DP World Asia Cup final on the line India won the toss sent Pakistan into
13:36bat and that is the task in front of this powerful Indian side 147 runs needed to
13:42take the title from their 20 overs there's the 280 batsman girl and
13:49Abhishek they're the two men they're going to be taking guard against Shaheen
13:52Shah Afridi right at the top it'll be interesting to see what the first call is
13:57going to be this time around from Shaheen Shah Afridi
14:04six the strike rate oh mind-blowing that's astonishing really is he's got
14:09someone in the other end who hasn't got too many runs so far but he's a wonderful
14:12player we know that 142 is his strike rate and cricketer to trip and girl of course
14:19the Red Bull captain but he's man that's gonna have to try and set a serious tone
14:26the 3d versus a basic line missing advancing going down the track looks to
14:34get back over his head first ball to the back pretty hard but it's hit the back
14:44beautiful and that's gone for four straight away
14:47exquisite timing but there you are no risk taken but playing really well now
14:59he's had to drag that a spit of a slower delivery out wicket first up for him
15:04Ashraf has struck that's all I wanted I've got Abhishek eventually that is massive and
15:10not surprising really not surprising seeing the way he batted that first
15:15over he was always going to be taking that big risk him like I kept kept saying
15:20do not open the door just get off to us solid start you don't have to get up to
15:27a 50 runs in the six overs kind of start look at that simple catch and the big man
15:35the man that they are worried about he goes Abhishek Sharma has gone for five
15:41seven for one
15:46the captain sure to my yard of in a number three in the air out out now it sounds
15:57couple of juggles captain's taken that's skipper for Pakistan is that is happy
16:04skipper for India has gone nowhere
16:08let's keep it going through frame by frame yes yes fingers are underneath the
16:16ball ball very carried to the hands I have a decision to the giant screen out it
16:22is
16:26big big wake at that massive wake at two massive wickets for Pakistan yes India is
16:32taking it casually India thinks that the one hundred and forty seven is no score
16:38it's a nice shot it's a lovely shot really nicely played that is real talent from girl
16:49he wants more he's gone over top now he's out good catch on Harris Ralph he's got his second now that is
16:59another big wicket Pakistan will be delighted with the style they've had here and their spectators are
17:04right behind them they're throwing it away India are just throwing this match away that is all one can
17:10say you've just hit a boundary you've got eight runs from the over and yet to go out and play this kind of a shot
17:16India are throwing this match away twenty for three Gil gone for twelve four overs bowled slower delivery and look what happens very good catch timing is jumped to perfection
17:31Arish Ralph but he must have getting another wicket and in the power play tomorrow's of the power play India have lost their three wickets

19:06and that's a terrific shot
19:10it's gone for the big one and enough back on that one to take it all the way
19:20might be now might be now top edge from Sanju Samson a bra
