00:00It is victory for India and it's been a terrific chase.
00:06These performances here stand out.
00:09Congratulations to Sri Lanka, not really deserve it champions.
00:15All set for the final.
00:17This is the DP World Asia Cup 2025 final.
00:21India taking on Pakistan.
00:23The toss took place a little while earlier and India won the toss
00:27and decided to feel first.
00:33So all set.
00:37The ship on the way will bowl the first ball.
00:53He gets hold of this. It's up in the air.
00:58And one bounce over the rope.
01:00So the first boundary of the final.
01:08You don't want to just give it away.
01:11That's good strike.
01:16Second boundary.
01:18Down the track.
01:24But he's done well there to get his hands to it.
01:29Adjusted well there.
01:31Dube saw him coming.
01:34Bored it a little shorter.
01:37But a boundary to end the over.
01:38Nineteen for no loss.
01:39And he's struck that well.
01:40Plenty of back on it.
01:50This is, this is a meaty blow.
01:55And it's gone the distance.
01:5841 for none at the moment.
02:00Where can they finish?
02:02Over the top.
02:03Nicely played.
02:04That's an important boundary.
02:09Heaving that onto the onside.
02:11Work to be done by Rinku who does nicely.
02:14It's a very good fielder.
02:16I've had their problems batting the middle overs as well.
02:18So that's why it's so important.
02:20He's hit that beautifully.
02:22He's dined out on that one.
02:23He's hit it for six.
02:24That's a great way to finish the over.
02:2611 from it.
02:27Seven done.
02:2856 for none.
02:29Sweep shots.
02:30And if I do, they'll be controlled.
02:32Towards the tail of the bat.
02:35Still going to be able to come back for the second.
02:37It's good running.
02:39Keeping it nice and tidy.
02:40Halfway through it.
02:41Only three runs.
02:44Reaching for it.
02:46He's played it beautifully.
02:47Found the gap two.
02:48Four runs.
02:49He's a boundary scorer this guy.
02:55Swings that away.
02:56Deep over mid wicket.
02:596 for Faka.
03:03Oh wow.
03:04Has that hit the back pad and just put Sanju Sampson off a little bit.
03:08Look at that.
03:12And that is what made the ball go away from Sanju Sampson.
03:19It's in a way.
03:20Back with a point.
03:21It should come back for two.
03:23They will come back for two.
03:26And a fifth T20.
03:28Half century.
03:30Four sobs out of Fahan.
03:33Second against India.
03:34And at a very important time.
03:37And this is a magnificent innings.
03:40Really magnificent.
03:41Five boundaries and two sixes in that.
03:46Absolutely terrific.
03:50Gone up.
03:52And it's gone long.
03:54And long enough.
03:56Six more.
03:58Now, straight to Deep mid wicket.
04:01Turkvarama, I think it is out there at Deep mid wicket.
04:02And Varun Chakravarti has got India's first and boy did they need that.
04:07You can see that nodded shot and bounce a little bit more as well.
04:11Didn't quite middle it.
04:12Farhan, yes.
04:13He understandably is upset with himself.
04:14He was batting so well.
04:16Pakistan would have wanted him to carry on.
04:17Gone for 57.
04:1884 for one in the 10th over.
04:19The paddle sweep.
04:20It is a man at Backwood square so it should just be a couple.
04:30Pulls this one.
04:31There is a man in the deep.
04:32Can't get around.
04:34And can't save the fourth eye off.
04:35The pedal's sweet. It's a man at backwards square, so it should just be a couple.
04:43Pulls this one. There is a man in the deep. Can't get around and can't save the four either.
04:52This time it's inside of Jaspreet Boomerang. And away to the boundary for four more.
04:59Hammond straight for four. Wonderful use of the feet from Faka.
05:05Just in front of square. It should be a couple.
05:11Slight fumble, but doesn't cost any more than just the two. End of the 12th.
05:20Carry it and taken.
05:23Kulde gets the wicket.
05:26Wide outside off. It was quick as well. Just couldn't keep the ball down.
05:31It was a quicker delivery.
05:32And then, like I said, it went up in the air and a very good catch.
05:36The Jaspreet Boomerang at back for twine.
05:39A very important breakthrough for India at this stage of the game.
05:42Went into 13th over. Kuldeep gets his first wicket.
05:46And Samayyuk departs for 14. Pakistan 113 for two.
05:50Looks a good shot by the fielder. Has come around and he'll take the catch.
05:58Axel Patel has struck for India.
06:01They balled in turn and went straight to mid-off.
06:05And good catch by Rinku Singh. Easy as you like.
06:08And Pakistan under pressure now. Absolutely under pressure.
06:13Third wicket gone for Pakistan.
06:15Haris.
06:17He's got it over the field up.
06:19May not go all the way.
06:20Rinku Singh will slither to that ball.
06:23And they'll get a couple of runs.
06:30It's gone again.
06:32Might just go all the way.
06:33Too high and too long for Subman Gill.
06:38Slice it.
06:39And take him.
06:41Pakal Zaman is gone.
06:44Warren Chakravarty, the man,
06:46pushed it a little wider.
06:47But a delivery outside his reach.
06:52He played that shot.
06:53Got the top edge.
06:54And a very simple catch.
06:59Kuldeep Yadav took the catch.
07:01They got a very important wicket of informed batter,
07:03Fakal Zaman.
07:05Gone for 46.
07:06Pakistan now.
07:07Little under pressure.
07:08126 for four.
07:09Look at how his comeback.
07:12Ponses down the pitch.
07:14Fumble.
07:16Gonna give them two runs.
07:17Destruction.
07:22Rule there wasn't.
07:23But this is a wicket.
07:24Sanjay Sampson has called it.
07:26Another wicket has called in here.
07:28Akshar Patel has gone his second.
07:33And suddenly Pakistan losing their way.
07:37Let's have a look.
07:38Slow delivery.
07:39Not turning.
07:41He made his mind before the ball delivered.
07:43I'm gonna go slot sweep.
07:45And beautifully pulled.
07:46Good variation.
07:48Slow the pace.
07:49Top edge.
07:49Easy catch.
07:52He'll have another wobbly.
07:54Sanjay Sampson has called everyone else off it.
07:56He wants it.
07:56It's gone hard.
07:57He takes it.
07:58Beautiful balling.
08:02Ball gripping a little bit and then with the open base of the blade hitting straight up in
08:08the end for Sampson to do the rest of the job.
08:14Pakistan tumbling.
08:15Pakistan all over the place.
08:19Kuldeep striking with his first ball of his last over.
08:22Oh, maybe another.
08:23That's the wrong end.
08:24I think that's out.
08:26He's reviewed straight away.
08:28Clearly, glove first.
08:33Did not even reach the pad.
08:37That one's close.
08:39Well, there's an appeal there.
08:42Kuldeep's interested here.
08:44This was the wrong end as well.
08:45It was straighter.
08:48Keep it rolling through.
08:49Keep it rolling through.
08:50Kuldeep.
08:51Police.
08:53Kuldeep below the bat.
08:56They're satisfied.
08:57No bat to go.
08:58Kuldeep is coming.
09:00Kuldeep no down.
09:02Kuldeep is outside off.
09:03Impact in line.
09:06Kuldeep is beating.
09:08Here on camera.
09:09Make your signal.
09:11They're batted like a schoolboys.
09:15Another one.
09:17There we go.
09:18Tilakvarma the man at middle this man can and he has the ability to do this it's slow it's

11:143d good pace too inside edge onto the foot charging in a pretty a little bit left side that's picked up

11:54solid start you don't have to get up to a a 50 runs in the six overs kind of start look at that

12:58out it is
13:02here we go again afridi charging in very good delivery from afridi trying to stop the one
13:08run out oh that would have been interesting he would have been run out by miles by miles there was
13:16i mean what is going on oh it's a nice shot it's a lovely shot really nicely played that is uh real
13:26talent from girl he wants more he's gone over the top now he's out good catch on harris ralph he's got

13:57play two more overs of the power play india have lost their three wickets
14:01sweet very sweet from sanju samson
14:12again nicely timed ball racing away to the boundaries
14:19let's pick that beautiful little six what a shot that is just erring in line but look at the line
14:26asking for trouble easy pickings pressure off now in india this partnership is building up and
14:34for him have conceded ten runs two guard balls then four and then this massive six seventy two meter
14:40towards the square leg
14:44swept and swept well splits the field
14:47oh nicely put away it's got fast hands
14:59hasn't timed it there's a chance here
15:04dropped it reached with both hands don't think he timed it and it's a good thing that it didn't time it
15:10well you can see it's hit more towards the middle or towards the top of the bat
15:15and that's why there was no power but do you need to take that risk
15:18do you need to take that risk there is a fielder there
15:23frighted ball and it's flat battered that that could be a six
15:31it's a good connection as well see no chance for those fielders the dot ball is being cheered
15:38good shot but he couldn't find the gap
15:41he'll make
15:45it's gone for the big one and enough back on that one to take it all the way
15:51yes i think what saim did was he thought that he would come down the pitch and therefore he
15:55pitched it short and that's exactly what samson was waiting for
15:59and hit it straight over long gone that's not an easy shot to play that's a lovely shot from sanju samson
16:10might be now might be now top edge from sanju samson abra

17:37another boundary beautiful shot slow delivery but two full excellent shot

18:17some of that 77 meters previous over and now start of this over india right on top
18:26again you're bowling to two left handers who are both strong leg side
18:36first and foremost the option to come around the wicket i mean mike hesson there he's telling

20:10indeed wide of the mantle along on big swing and a miss looking to go straight back past the ball of that
