00:00Hello and welcome to the highlights of the sixth match of the Asia Cup 2025 played between India
00:13and Pakistan in Dubai. The pitch looks dry and has a lot of cracks over it which will assist
00:20the spinners. Pakistan's captain Salman Aga won the toss and has decided to bat first.
00:28Let's have a look at the playing eleven of both the sides. For Pakistan, Sayam Ayum, Sahibzada Farhan and
00:36Fakhar Zaman in the top order. Bowling attack of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Faheem Ashraf and Abrar Ahmed. Indian
00:45team with a solid batting order with Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson and Shubban Gil in the side. All-round
00:52duo of Hardik Pandya and Akshar Patel in the middle, Jaspreet Bumbra will lead the bowling
00:57attack. A new chapter in this historic rivalry. Let's head straight to the action.
01:05Sayam Ayub, one of those very unique players who will open with the bat and open with the
01:14ball as well.
01:15Most games, the first six overs are so important but especially in a high octane game here.
01:24India versus Pakistan, you want to win that first power play, initial power play, Sahibzada Farhan.
01:31Drafted into the side, had a wonderful year in T20 cricket. Just wants to translate it on this
01:39biggest stage.
01:41This moment's away now from the start of this India-Pakistan match. We'll hear the countdown
01:47very shortly. Hardik Pandya will start of things for India. His India's highest wicket takeoff late
01:53against Pakistan. Let's play the umpires and we have the first ball of this match. Goes down
02:00the leg side very close to the pads but a legitimate wide set of things. Now what was Surya impressed
02:08with? Was it the pace and carry?
02:15Gone! Sweat to hand it toward! What a start for India!
02:23Back of the land, just a gentle push and perfection with the placement towards Bumrah.
02:31Rare to see Bumrah at point but he takes a very good catch, safe catch as well.
02:37Duck in the last game for Sayyam Ayyub. That was first ball.
02:44Today as well, the first one was down the leg side so Horace's chart for Pakistan is one for
02:51one.
02:52Probably his best position is number three.
02:56Now will that fielder have a chance? I think there is a chance here.
03:02Hardik Pandya has called it and he takes the catch. The man in the spotlight gets the wicket
03:10and then takes an important catch. Bumrah has struck for India and Pakistan have lost two now.
03:18Into the pitch hard. Well, no extra bounce. Down at the bottom of the bat. Gone nowhere.
03:28And it's a very comfortable catch. It went high in the air but Hardik is an extremely good fielder.
03:34India, Cockahooq where, just with Bumrah, he gets a wicket in his first over.
03:41Pakistan, six for two.
03:45He does that a lot. Hardik Pandya, the short ball. It's his go-to ball. Very often surprises
03:57the batter with the short ball so he uses that quite liberally. His high in a shake.
04:03Nahaya bin Mubarak al-Nahayan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence and Chairman of the Emirates Cricket Board.
04:16That's gotta be four. Nicely controlled pull shot. Short ball again from Hardik Pandya.
04:25That's a tremendous shot. That's a great shot. Down the track. That's a fine shot. No need to run for that.
04:42That was well struck. Oh, that swung the way for six. He spicked the bones out of that.
04:55Down the track. It's up in the air. And taken in the deep. That's a big wicket.
05:04It's Fakha Zaman, the man out. Up serve for tail striking.
05:11Yes, just a shot in the lint. That's a good running catch in the deep. Never easy, these high catches.
05:22He took it easily. Tilak Verma. And that is a big wicket. He's a dangerous player.
05:31And Fakha Zaman has to depart. He could see the pressure building. He goes for 17. It's 45 for 3.
05:37So the skipper comes out to the middle.
05:42There's that big shot. It is a top edge. Fielder settles. Fielder takes it.
05:47Excellent catch. Easy catch also in context. Abhisar Mah holds out. Salman Aliaga. Pakistan, four down.
05:54He's already played a couple of calls in the over. See that he was looking to play that sweep shot from well outside the off-stump.
06:03Was never in control of it.
06:07And a good catch that. Very good catch. That by Abhishek Sharma.
06:12And that's the fourth wicket gone for Pakistan in the 10th over for 49.
06:18And Salman's gone for 3.
06:26Gives him the charge. Does this carry? Yes, it does.
06:32A long time awaiting. 33 deliveries since the boundary.
06:35And it comes in a maximum fashion.
06:42That's it. Oh, dropped.
06:44Good effort. Both hands. But that was definitely a chance.
06:49Could have been the fifth wicket.
06:53Oh dear. We almost had it.
06:56Exactly what we're talking about.
06:58Always thinking wickets. Always in the mix.
07:01The great effort. Full stretch drive.
07:03Now this has gone straight up.
07:08Another opportunity. Another wicket here in the offing.
07:11Yes. Taken.
07:13So Kuldeviadav drops a catch of his own bowling.
07:16The next ball.
07:18Another chance is offered.
07:20Pakistan have now lost half their side for 64.
07:24Hassan Nawaz.
07:26Not taking the cue.
07:28And he needs to slow down perhaps just a little bit.
07:31Chose the aggressive option again.
07:33Clattered trajectory.
07:36Top spinner.
07:38Looking to hit the ball in the air.
07:40Naksar Patel.
07:42Takes an easy catch.
07:43This is regulation for him.
07:45Kuldevi gets his wicket.
07:47Pakistan are 64 for 5.
07:49Straight.
07:50And it's a big appeal again.
07:51Finger goes up again.
07:53Look pretty straight.
07:54They've reviewed it.
07:55We've seen a lot of reviews today.
07:56But this one is one that India might just win.
07:57We'll wait and see.
07:58Forward.
07:59Forward.
08:00Okay.

08:56from here we thought maybe he'll go outside the next time but he has to go
09:00for a blob Pakistan are torturing at 64 for six now and cool that is on a hat
09:08trick now he's had that experience before not once but maybe twice there
09:13we go oh well gold was pretty straight and well done the batter just kept a
09:19straight back then had he played a t20 short on that one would have been
09:25hat-trick for Kuldi we are the cool shot it's found the gap and it'll get four
09:33runs
09:37well that's a good shot it's in the gap and we get boundary finishes off the over
09:43with a four prizes luck with a hit down the ground hard day takes it the
09:53catching has been excellent top draw so has the bowling
09:58yes toss the ball up just a little bit away from the arc of the bat very clever
10:07this again from the Indian spinners recognizing that the Pakistani batters
10:13will go for the bigot is bolded a little bit wide you can see that in the wrong
10:18one as well so getting the bottom of the bat very good catch this very very good
10:24catch there to cover a lot of ground and then took the catch with his fingers
10:29pointing skyward he's got a very safe pair of ants
10:33it's hard to find yeah and that's a well set or are gone for 40 83 for seven in the
10:4117th over
10:43he announces himself slog sweep into the stands and that's a very good it that's
11:00the way hits it and saves over the connections very good deepfielder was in
11:08business but Chainsha Freedy delivers another six
11:14the worst three that looks very very straight
11:19umpire agrees and it's sent upstairs straight away
11:25roll forward forward forward stretch line forward forward forward no batting gloves in
11:34walls it is five ball checking when ready
11:49Ruchi stand by
11:56you want screen signal now
12:02looking to play the reverse sweep pressing completely and bang in front
12:06I should have gone for 11 or 14 8 down for 97 in the 18th over
12:16more beautiful backs away and drills it down the ground lovely shot
12:24ball and beautifully played through the offside backing away he gets it to the fence in a jiffy
12:38bowling with just a matter of time for boomerang to get it right
12:43anticipated that he would look to play the scoop go outside the off stump and that's where he got his
12:51ball right on target knocking back the leg stump nine down for 111 now okay gone for 10 of 6
13:01and it goes outside off star man has been pumped that has gone a long long way a terrific hit
13:15goes full and it's hit again and that has also sailed away back to back sixes
13:19back-to-back sixes
13:21goes into the pace floor that is in the air is it's a chance
13:26almost brilliant effort
13:30Philip Verma running full tilt almost pulled it off
13:33last delivery
13:35walks across Q ended he will come back for the second
13:40and will make it shine sharp fridi he remains not out on 33 and because of him
13:45Pakistan in the end rally to 127 for nine
14:04Pakistan had it really tough
14:08started off with vickets up front and then the spinners came to the party with Saibzada Farhan 40 of 44
14:14were shine sharp fridi at the back end 33 of just 16 and he propelled Pakistan to 127
14:23at one stage it looked as if they won't even get to a hundred but it was brilliant headache
14:29but the spinners absolutely brilliant
14:33Arthik Pandya wicket just with Bunga too but was really worth the spinners
14:37one for Chakravarti three for Kul Bipyadiv and two for Apsar Patel
14:42who I thought pulled magnificently as well
14:45his back of length very consistent
14:48so we'll take a little break but when we come back
14:52it will be India who will need to score 128 of their 20 overs
14:59Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill who came off just 28 deliveries in that first game against Oman
15:08which meant 128 is the equation for Gill and Abhishek
15:12but he's going up against these two who are in some scorching hot form
15:18captain of India in white and red ball cricket and the top P20 I batter in the world
