Asia Cup Live Score 2025: Pakistan vs UAE

Haris Rauf wraps it up! Three wickets in four balls as UAE collapse at the end.
Pakistan’s pacers proved too much for UAE. Haris Rauf triggered a dramatic finish — Simranjeet run out, Haider holing out, and Rohid gone in a comical mix-up. The chase ended in chaos with UAE bowled out for 107. With this, Pakistan secured a dominant 40-run victory, powered by Shaheen Afridi’s early strikes and Rauf’s death-bowling masterclass.

Shaheen Afridi delivers again! He removes Kaushik with a sharp lifter and keeps UAE in deep trouble.
Afridi’s fiery spell continued as Kaushik was caught behind for a duck, leaving UAE reeling at 99/7. Simranjeet and Haider tried to resist, adding a boundary and a couple of singles, but the asking rate soared beyond 14. With only 18 balls left, UAE still need 44 runs to pull off a heist. Pakistan’s bowling spearhead has tightened the screws at the death.

Salman Agha makes an impact! Chopra smashes a six but falls in the same over.
The over had everything — a towering six from Chopra over extra cover, quick running for two, and then a crucial breakthrough as Salman Agha dismissed the set batter. Chopra’s 35 kept UAE alive, but his wicket leaves them in dire straits with the asking rate soaring above 12. After 16 overs, UAE are 97/6 needing 50 from the last 24 balls.

Abrar Ahmed strikes again! Asif Khan falls for a duck.
Abrar wrapped up his spell in style, tightening the screws with sharp turn and accuracy. Asif Khan, under immense pressure, couldn’t settle and was bowled for a 4-ball duck. Chopra remains UAE’s hope, but with the asking rate nearing 12 runs an over, the chase is slipping out of control. After 15 overs, UAE are 88/5.

Haris Rauf strikes! Dhruv Parashar departs trying to force the pace.
With the pressure mounting, Parashar attempted to go big but edged Haris Rauf to Khushdil Shah at deep cover. Before that, Chopra picked up a couple of runs and a single, along with a wide, but the wicket has shifted momentum. Parashar fell for 20 (23b), leaving UAE in deeper trouble. After 14 overs, they are 85/4 and the required rate has surged past 10 runs an over.

Singles and twos dominate as Abrar Ahmed keeps things tight.
Abrar maintained pressure with sharp turn and tight lines, conceding just 6 runs in the over. Chopra and Parashar worked the ball around with a couple of sweeps and nudges, but boundaries remained elusive. With the required rate climbing close to 10 an over, UAE need someone to break free soon. After 13 overs, they are 80/3.

Rahul Chopra breaks free with a stylish four, but Saim Ayub keeps it under control.
Saim completed his spell with another economical over despite conceding a boundary. Chopra’s lofted shot over cover-point brought much-needed relief, but otherwise, the batters managed only singles, a couple, and a leg bye. UAE are 74/3 after 12 overs, with the asking rate rising above 9 runs per over.

Tidy over from Abrar Ahmed, just 5 runs from it.
Abrar kept things tight with stump-to-stump bowling and subtle variations. Parashar and Chopra worked singles around, with one leg bye adding to the tally. UAE are steady but the required rate has climbed to 9 an over, making the chase increasingly demanding. After 11 overs, they are 66/3.

Parashar breaks free with a boundary as Nawaz concedes 10 runs in the over.
Saim Ayub kept a tidy line but the batters managed to rotate strike effectively. Parashar opened the over with a couple before nudging singles into the gaps, while Rahul Chopra played a controlled sweep for one. The standout shot was Parashar’s boundary, which released some pressure in the chase. With 10 runs coming off the over, UAE move to 61/3 after 10 overs, needing 86 from 60 balls at 8.27 RPO.

Parashar breaks free with a boundary as Nawaz concedes 10 runs in the over.
Mohammad Nawaz, who had been miserly earlier, was put under pressure this time. Dhruv Parashar cashed in on a rare high full-toss, drilling it through midwicket for four, and added singles to rotate the strike. Rahul Chopra chipped in with three runs, ensuring the scoreboard kept ticking. 10 runs from the over ease UAE’s nerves slightly, but the chase remains steep at 56/3 after 9 overs — 91 needed from 66 balls at 8.27 RPO.

Saim Ayub keeps the squeeze on with another economical over.
The part-time spinner continued to build pressure with his accuracy, conceding just 4 runs. Parashar nudged a couple, while Chopra added a single but struggled to rotate strike. Dot balls are mounting for UAE, and the asking rate edges up to 8.41. At 46/3 after 8 overs, Pakistan’s spinners have a stranglehold on the middle overs.

Nawaz keeps it tight as Chopra and Parashar look to rebuild.
Mohammad Nawaz bowled with guile and control, making the batters work hard for runs. Chopra and Parashar managed a couple of singles and squeezed two off the final ball, but boundaries were elusive. With just 4 runs added, UAE remain under pressure at 42/3 after 7 overs, the chase demanding a surge in tempo.

Saim Ayub delivers in his very first over, bowling Zohaib to leave UAE reeling.
The golden arm of Saim Ayub struck instantly, as he darted in a quicker one that skidded back to castle Muhammad Zohaib. Parashar couldn’t break free, and only an extra run via a wide prevented a maiden. A bizarre moment also saw the umpire hit on the head by a throw, forcing him off for checks. UAE slump further to 38/3 after the powerplay, needing 109 from 84 balls.

Abrar Ahmed strikes in his first over as Waseem departs to a stunning catch.
Leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed made a dream entry, removing the dangerous Muhammad Waseem with a clever carrom ball. Waseem’s ambitious drive only found Nawaz at cover-point, who took a sharp low catch. Abrar gave away just 2 runs, tightening the screws. UAE close the 5th over at 37/2, still requiring 110 from 90 balls.

Waseem counterattacks with a boundary as Rauf leaks 12 runs in his first over.
Haris Rauf’s entry was met with aggression. A wayward ball down leg sped away for five wides, before Muhammad Waseem lofted him for a powerful four over long-off. Despite a couple of dots, 12 runs came off the over, pushing UAE to 35/1 after 4 overs, keeping them on track with the chase.

Shaheen Afridi strikes! Sharafu chops on after a brisk start.
Pakistan’s spearhead got the breakthrough, as Alishan Sharafu attempted a flashy drive but dragged one onto his stumps. Afridi kept probing, beating Zohaib’s edge a couple of times. UAE managed a couple of runs but lost momentum, finishing the third over at 23/1 in their chase of 147.

Sharafu launches a massive six as UAE make a flying start.
Mohammad Nawaz was taken on straight away, with Alishan Sharafu dancing down the track to hammer a 95-metre six over cow corner. Waseem chipped in with a classy cut for four earlier in the over. UAE finish the second over at 19/0, racing ahead in the chase with intent.

Sharafu starts with a boundary, Shaheen replies with sharp movement.
Alishan Sharafu got going with a crisp cut shot for four, but Shaheen Afridi was quick to respond with fiery movement, beating the bat multiple times and nearly sneaking through Waseem. UAE survive the first over at 6/0, needing 141 from 114 to chase down 147.

UAE Run Chace of 147 out of 120 Balls.

Shaheen Afridi’s late fireworks push Pakistan to a fighting total despite Junaid’s brilliance.
Shaheen Shah Afridi stunned UAE with a breathtaking cameo, hammering two mighty sixes and a crunching four in the final over bowled by Muhammad Rohid. Even with Haris Rauf run out on the last ball, Pakistan piled on 18 crucial runs to finish at 146/9. Fakhar Zaman’s fifty (50 off 36) set the platform, while Shaheen’s unbeaten 29 off 14 lifted the side at the death. For UAE, Junaid Siddique was the star, claiming 4/18 in a superb spell, well-supported by Simranjeet Singh’s 3 wickets. The chase is now set — can Pakistan’s pacers defend this?

Shaheen swings hard with two boundaries, but Junaid strikes again for his fourth wicket.
Junaid Siddique continued to dominate, sending back Mohammad Haris (18 off 14) with a clever cutter that shattered the stumps. Before that, Shaheen Afridi showed intent, driving one down the ground and flicking another through midwicket for fours. Despite Shaheen’s resistance, Pakistan slipped to 128/8 with just one over remaining. Junaid wrapped up his spell with 4/18, a performance that could decide the contest.

Haris finds a much-needed boundary as Pakistan edge closer to 120.
Haider Ali closed out his spell without a wicket but kept things under control. Mohammad Haris held his nerve, finishing the over with a crisp boundary through the covers. Shaheen Afridi chipped in with a couple of runs and a leg-bye, though he still looked shaky against spin. Pakistan moved to 118/7 after 18 overs, relying heavily on Haris to guide them towards a respectable total.

Junaid Siddique strikes again, removing Nawaz to extend his golden spell.
Mohammad Nawaz’s attempt to break free ended in disappointment, lofting one straight to Muhammad Waseem at long-off. That gave Junaid his third wicket, underlining his control with both line and length. Mohammad Haris managed to rotate the strike with singles, while Shaheen Afridi entered the crease and survived his first ball. Pakistan slumped further to 110/7 after 17 overs, UAE tightening their grip.

Simranjeet Singh removes Khushdil but Haris fights back with successive boundaries.
Pakistan’s middle order wobbled again as Khushdil Shah perished attempting a slog, caught at deep midwicket for just 4. Mohammad Haris, however, counter-attacked in style, dispatching back-to-back boundaries — one over extra cover and another pulled through midwicket. Nawaz added a quick single as Simranjeet closed his spell at 4-0-26-3, a superb effort. After 16 overs, Pakistan are 105/6 with Haris on 11*(8) and Nawaz on 2*(2).

Parashar delivers a tight finish to his spell, conceding just five singles.
Dhruv Parashar maintained discipline in his final over, restricting Pakistan to only ones. Haris and Khushdil looked for gaps but found none, ending the over without a boundary. Pakistan reached 93/5 after 15 overs, still searching for late momentum. Parashar signed off with tidy figures of 4-0-33-1, while Simranjeet had already left his mark with 3 crucial strikes.

Simranjeet turns the tide with a double strike, removing Fakhar and debutant Hasan Nawaz.
Simranjeet Singh produced a game-changing over, first dismissing Fakhar Zaman for a well-made 50 off 36 balls, then trapping Hasan Nawaz lbw just two balls later. Only two runs came from the over, alongside the two wickets, leaving Pakistan rattled. At 88/5 after 14 overs, Mohammad Haris (0*) and Khushdil Shah (1*) were left with the task of rebuilding against a fired-up UAE attack.

Fakhar Zaman reaches his half-century with a towering six down the ground.
Dhruv Parashar’s over was taken for 11 runs as Fakhar launched a straight six to complete his fifty from 35 balls. The left-hander stood firm as Pakistan’s anchor, while Hasan Nawaz chipped in with singles to rotate strike. Pakistan reached 86/3 at the end of 13 overs, with Fakhar on 50* and Nawaz settling in. The platform was set, but wickets in hand would be key.

Haider Ali keeps it tight, conceding just five as Pakistan steady through singles.
Haider Ali delivered another controlled over, giving little away. Fakhar Zaman picked up a couple of singles and a well-run two, moving closer to his fifty, while young Hasan Nawaz opened his account with a single. At 75/3 after 12 overs, Pakistan’s innings was being steadied by Fakhar’s presence, though the run rate remained modest.

Dhruv Parashar to Salman Agha, out Caught by Haider Ali!! Goes for a big hit and he falls!
The UAE are taking control of this game and how! Brilliant bowling from Dhruv Parashar. Kept it away from the batters' reach all over and made them try something different. Pressure was mounting with the dots building and Salman Agha had to go for it. It was a flatter delivery on off-stump, and Salman Agha gave himself a lot of room looking to carve it away over extra cover, but didn’t get enough bat on it and holed out to the man in the deep. Pakistan in a spot of bother here, they’ve lost their skipper.

Salman Agha c Haider Ali b Dhruv Parashar 20 (27b, 4×2)

Simranjeet Singh keeps Pakistan in check with a disciplined over.
Simranjeet stuck to a probing line outside off, forcing Salman Agha into defense while denying room for boundaries. Fakhar Zaman managed to collect a couple of singles, also picking up an extra run off a no-ball. The scoring remained restricted to ones, with Pakistan unable to find the fence. At the halfway mark, they move to 67/2, Zaman steady on 35*(23) and Salman on 19*(24), as the UAE bowlers maintain control.

Fakhar Zaman accelerates with consecutive boundaries, shifting momentum.
Haider Ali was put under immediate pressure as Zaman latched onto a full toss, drilling it through the covers, before cutting the next ball square for another four. The left-hander looked in rhythm, moving confidently into the 30s. Salman Agha played the anchor role with singles but couldn’t break the field. Pakistan reached 61/2 at the end of 9 overs, with Fakhar holding the key for the middle phase.

Pakistan keep rotating strike but struggle to find the boundary.
Simranjeet Singh delivered another disciplined over, conceding just singles alongside a wide. Fakhar Zaman and Salman Agha kept the scoreboard moving with sensible running, but the lack of boundaries kept the pressure intact. Pakistan brought up their fifty in 8 overs, positioned at 50/2, but will soon need to lift the tempo to stay ahead of the game.

Haider Ali bowls tightly, but Pakistan rotate smartly to keep momentum.
Introduced into the attack, Haider Ali showed good control with variations of pace and angles. Fakhar Zaman and Salman Agha responded by working singles around the field, ensuring the strike kept rotating. The only dot ball came at the end, capping a steady over. Pakistan move to 44/2 after 7 overs, the partnership growing in stability despite UAE keeping things tidy.

Salman Agha closes the powerplay with a confident boundary.
Muhammad Rohid kept probing with tight lines, giving little away. Fakhar Zaman added a couple to midwicket and worked singles, while Salman Agha anchored before cashing in on a loose delivery, glancing it fine for four. With that stroke, Pakistan finished the powerplay at 39/2, the pair looking increasingly settled after early setbacks.

Fakhar Zaman breaks free with back-to-back sixes to lift Pakistan’s innings.
Dhruv Parashar was welcomed into the attack with immediate aggression from Fakhar Zaman. After rotating strike early, Fakhar launched two towering sixes — the first over deep midwicket and the next straight over long-off — stamping his intent. Salman Agha added a single but played the supporting role as Fakhar took charge. Pakistan surge to 31/2 after five overs, with their senior left-hander finally shifting momentum.

Salman Agha shows fight with a boundary, but Rohid keeps Pakistan in check.
Muhammad Rohid bowled with discipline, keeping Pakistan under pressure with probing lengths. Salman Agha broke the shackles with a streaky boundary past the slips and followed up with a couple behind point, but the bowler quickly regained control to finish strongly. Fakhar Zaman, at the other end, remained circumspect, yet to get going. After four overs, Pakistan crawl to 17/2, still struggling to build momentum.

Junaid Siddique on fire — both Pakistan openers back in the pavilion!
Junaid Siddique struck again with a brilliant short delivery that cramped Sahibzada Farhan, who could only offer a top edge, brilliantly juggled and held by Zohaib at long leg. Salman Agha got off the mark with a single, while Fakhar Zaman remained scoreless, still searching for fluency. A wide was the only blemish in an otherwise clinical over. Pakistan slip to 11/2 after three overs, as UAE gain firm control early in the Powerplay.

Disciplined start from Muhammad Waseem, Farhan steadies with a confident three.
Muhammad Waseem kept things tight with sharp lines and lively pace, beating the bat on a couple of occasions. A couple of leg byes and a wide helped Pakistan along before Sahibzada Farhan found some rhythm, punching a crisp drive through the covers for three. Fakhar Zaman, still watchful, hasn’t opened his account yet. Pakistan move to 9/1 after two overs, cautiously rebuilding after the early wicket of Saim Ayub.

Junaid Siddique gives UAE a dream start! Saim Ayub falls early.
Junaid Siddique struck in his very first over, removing the dangerous Saim Ayub for a duck. Saim went chasing a wide short one but found the fielder at deep third, continuing his struggle for consistency. Sahibzada Farhan opened with a couple of runs and survived a close LBW shout that was overturned on review. Fakhar Zaman arrived but couldn’t get going, as Junaid finished a brilliant over that yielded just three runs and a crucial wicket. Pakistan are 3/1 after the first over.

UAE win the toss and elect to bowl first in Dubai.
UAE captain Muhammad Waseem: “Just the weather and the dew may come in. We will try to restrict them to a low total. We had a good game in Abu Dhabi but this is a different game against a different opponent. Jawadullah is out and Simranjeet is in.”

Pakistan captain Salman Agha: “We wanted to bat first, to be honest. Great day for us to play a perfect game. It’s not about having an edge, they [UAE] are a good side. Our focus is to execute our plans. Two changes: Sufiyan Muqeem and Faheem Ashraf are not playing.”

Asia Cup Live Score 2025 : BAN vs AFG 9th Match

Bangladesh vs Afghanistan Live Score

Bangladesh Win by 8 Runs

Bangladesh seal a thrilling victory as Taskin Ahmed claims the final wicket!
Afghanistan needed 22 off the last 6 balls, with Noor Ahmad hitting two massive sixes to give hope. But Taskin kept his composure, removing Noor on the final ball, caught by Nurul Hasan. Taskin ended with 2/34, while Mustafizur’s earlier strikes set the tone. Afghanistan all out for 146 in a spirited chase.

Mustafizur Rahman wreaks havoc with a double strike, finishing with 3/28!
Rashid Khan started with a stylish four, but Mustafizur immediately struck, dismissing Rashid and Ghazanfar on consecutive deliveries. The hat-trick was denied, but Afghanistan were left reeling. Only singles came from Noor and Farooqi, leaving 22 needed off the final over.

Nasum Ahmed delivers a vital breakthrough, conceding just 4 runs!
Drama unfolded as Karim Janat was run out by a brilliant diving throw from Nurul Hasan. Noor Ahmad and Rashid Khan could only manage singles thereafter, leaving Afghanistan with 27 required from the final 12 balls. Bangladesh maintain the upper hand with disciplined bowling.

Rashid Khan ignites the innings with a no-look six and a brilliant four!
Mustafizur Rahman started the over, but Rashid Khan took charge — a stunning no-look flick over fine leg for six followed by a crisp four past backward point. Singles from both batters helped Afghanistan collect 14 crucial runs. The chase tightens with 31 needed from 18 balls, as Rashid looks to swing momentum.

Taskin Ahmed strikes in a dramatic over, removing Azmatullah Omarzai!
A rollercoaster over from Taskin — Omarzai sent a massive 99-meter six skyward but couldn’t sustain his momentum, falling to a mistimed shot caught at backward point. Rashid Khan joined Karim Janat at the crease, but Afghanistan now face a stiff chase with 45 needed off 24 balls.

Rishad Hossain signs off with a superb spell to keep Bangladesh ahead!
The young leggie wrapped up his quota with another miserly over, conceding just five runs. Karim Janat collected a couple and rotated strike towards the end, while Azmatullah Omarzai chipped in with a single. Rishad’s outstanding figures of 4-0-18-2 leave Afghanistan under pressure, still needing 53 off the final 30 balls. Bangladesh, though, must now rely on their part-time options to see this through.

Omarzai’s power-hitting breathes life into Afghanistan’s chase!
Azmatullah Omarzai launched a stunning counter-attack, plundering 20 runs off Saif Hassan’s over. He started with a cracking cover drive for four before clearing the ropes twice — first a clean strike over long off, then a massive 93-meter hit into the stands at midwicket. He rounded off the carnage with back-to-back doubles, racing to 23 off just 12 balls. Afghanistan suddenly back in contention, needing 58 from 36 deliveries with Omarzai leading the charge.

Mustafizur strikes gold, Nabi chopped on!
Mustafizur Rahman tightened the screws with three dot balls on the experienced Mohammad Nabi, mixing up his pace and angles brilliantly. After a couple of singles, the left-arm quick got his reward — Nabi dragged a length delivery back onto his stumps while trying to force the pace. The breakthrough leaves Afghanistan in real strife at 77/5, with the chase slipping further out of reach as the required rate soars past 11.

Nabi swings momentum with a massive six over long on!
Saif Hassan looked to build pressure, but Mohammad Nabi had other ideas. The veteran all-rounder stepped down the track and hammered a towering six back over long on to keep Afghanistan’s hopes alive. He followed it up with smart rotation, while Azmatullah Omarzai added a single and ran hard for a brace. The 11-run over provides a timely boost for Afghanistan, but with 80 needed off the last 8 overs, the chase still hangs in the balance.

Rishad Hossain delivers the breakthrough, Gurbaz falls for 35!
Bangladesh tightened their grip as Rishad Hossain struck a decisive blow, sending back Rahmanullah Gurbaz. The opener, who had looked threatening, miscued a paddle sweep and was caught at deep backward square. Earlier in the over, Nabi and debutant Azmatullah Omarzai picked up singles, but Rishad closed out strongly with a pair of dot balls. With Gurbaz gone, Afghanistan’s chase takes a serious hit at 64/4 after 11 overs, the required rate now surging past 10 runs an over.

Gurbaz fights back with a six, but Saif Hassan keeps it tight.
Part-timer Saif Hassan struck a good balance between flight and accuracy in his first over, giving away only 8 runs. Gurbaz showed aggression, stepping out to hammer him over long off for a towering six, but Saif responded with four dot balls to maintain control. Nabi chipped in with a single to rotate strike. Afghanistan reached 61/3 after 10 overs — still in the game, but the required rate is climbing.

Rishad strikes back — Gulbadin Naib falls caught and bowled!
Bangladesh pulled things back as Rishad Hossain removed Gulbadin Naib for 12. The Afghan all-rounder chipped a leading edge back to the bowler after collecting a single. Gurbaz continued to rotate, and Mohammad Nabi opened his account with one run, but Rishad closed the over with a dot. Just 4 runs came from it, and Afghanistan slipped to 53/3 after 9 overs, losing momentum again.

Momentum shift — Gurbaz launches a six, Gulbadin cashes in on a free hit.
Shamim Hossain endured a tough first over, conceding 16 runs. A no-ball gave Afghanistan a free hit, which Gulbadin Naib punished with a clean boundary between sweepers. Gurbaz chipped in with singles before finishing the over in style, lofting Shamim straight over long off for a flat six. Afghanistan suddenly found rhythm, racing to 49/2 after 8 overs, trimming the required run rate.

Rishad Hossain begins with control, just six runs off the over.
Introduced straight after the Powerplay, Rishad Hossain bowled with discipline. Gurbaz collected a couple of well-placed doubles and rotated the strike smartly, while Gulbadin added a single. There was a moment of concern when a sharp throw from Hridoy missed the stumps, denying a run-out chance. With Nasum returning after treatment, Bangladesh’s spinners kept Afghanistan in check. After 7 overs, the score moved to 33/2 with Gurbaz anchoring the innings.

Gulbadin Naib lifts Afghanistan with a boundary as Mustafizur begins tightly.
Mustafizur Rahman came into the attack and kept things steady, conceding just 7 runs. Rahmanullah Gurbaz managed a single, while Gulbadin Naib showed intent, glancing one fine down the leg side for four and driving firmly for a couple. The Fizz found some rhythm with deliveries outside off, beating the edge twice. Nasum meanwhile walked off the field for treatment after his earlier thumb injury. Afghanistan reached 27/2 at the end of the Powerplay, still needing a rebuild.

Nasum Ahmed strikes again — Ibrahim Zadran departs lbw!
Bangladesh struck a crucial blow as Nasum Ahmed trapped Ibrahim Zadran in front for 5. Afghanistan reviewed, but the decision stayed with the umpire as the ball was shown to clip leg stump on umpire’s call. Gulbadin Naib walked in at No. 4 and opened his account, while Gurbaz added a single. A painful blow to Nasum’s thumb off a full toss briefly stopped play, but he finished the over strongly. Afghanistan stumbled to 20/2 after five overs, with Nasum’s double strike putting Bangladesh on top.

Zadran and Gurbaz finally find boundaries to lift Afghanistan!
Taskin Ahmed’s second over proved more expensive as both Afghan batters cashed in. Ibrahim Zadran opened his account with a crisp square cut that raced past point, while Gurbaz followed up with a booming drive over extra cover. Despite a couple of dot balls, Afghanistan added 10 runs to ease some of the pressure, moving to 18/1 after four overs as the innings began to find momentum.

Gurbaz shows intent with the first boundary of the chase!
Nasum Ahmed returned and continued to bowl with guile, but Rahmanullah Gurbaz broke free by stepping down the track and lofting him over mid-on for four. He followed it with a single, but Ibrahim Zadran remained tentative, struggling to rotate the strike and playing out dots. Afghanistan reached 8/1 after three overs, still under early pressure from Bangladesh’s spin stranglehold.

Taskin Ahmed keeps it tight, Zadran survives a scare!
Taskin Ahmed steamed in with good rhythm in his opening over, conceding only three runs — two of them extras. Rahmanullah Gurbaz nudged a single to get going, while Ibrahim Zadran lived dangerously after Rishad put down a sharp chance at backward point off a cut. Despite the reprieve, Afghanistan continue to crawl, reaching 3/1 after two overs with the asking rate already edging up.

Nasum Ahmed strikes with a wicket-maiden to give Bangladesh a flying start!
Bangladesh could not have asked for a better beginning. Nasum Ahmed, entrusted with the new ball, struck with his very first delivery, trapping Sediqullah Atal plumb in front for a golden duck. Mixing flight with subtle variation, Nasum kept Ibrahim Zadran guessing for the rest of the over, denying him any scoring opportunities. A wicket-maiden in the opening over has Afghanistan under immediate pressure, still needing 155 from 114 balls with nine wickets in hand.

Afghanistan On Course to Chase 155 in 120 Balls.

Nurul Hasan’s cheeky ramp and steady finish lift Bangladesh to 154!
Fazalhaq Farooqi bowled the final over with clever variations, but Bangladesh still managed 9 runs to close their innings at 154/5. Nurul Hasan showcased innovation, scooping a slower delivery over short fine leg for a boundary and collecting a couple more with smart placement. Despite receiving ankle treatment mid-over, he rotated the strike effectively. Jaker Ali, however, struggled to find rhythm, missing a short ball and managing only a couple at the end. With 5 dots in the last 11 deliveries, Bangladesh wrapped up their innings at 154/5, setting Afghanistan a target of 155 for victory.

Omarzai delivers a brilliant penultimate over, removing Hridoy!
Azmatullah Omarzai made an immediate impact by dismissing Towhid Hridoy for 26, as the batter mistimed a lofted shot to deep extra cover. Incoming batter Nurul Hasan showed intent by lifting a low full toss over mid-off for a boundary and then sneaking a single, while one wide also added to the score. However, Omarzai regained control with three consecutive dot balls against Jaker Ali, shutting down Bangladesh’s hopes of a big finish. Just 6 runs and a crucial wicket came from the over, leaving Bangladesh at 145/5 after 19 overs.

Bangladesh collect steady runs against Farooqi’s slower balls.
Fazalhaq Farooqi mixed his pace smartly in the 18th over, using slower bouncers and cutters to keep the batters guessing. Towhid Hridoy picked up a couple of well-placed twos with soft hands, while Jaker Ali added two doubles of his own—one pulled into the leg side and another dragged toward midwicket. Despite Farooqi’s variations, Bangladesh collected 9 runs from the over, moving to 139/4 after 18 overs. Hridoy is on 26 off 19, while Jaker Ali sits on 10 off 8, with the stage set for the final push.

Jaker Ali breaks free with a boundary!
Noor Ahmad signed off his spell with impressive control, conceding just 6 runs in the over. Jaker Ali, however, found a release shot as he swatted a short ball wide of deep midwicket for a much-needed four.

Noor Ahmad removes Tanzid Hasan as Afghanistan strike back in the middle overs.

Rashid Khan applies the brakes as Bangladesh rely on rotation in the middle overs.
Bowling with guile and precision, Rashid Khan kept Bangladesh’s batters in check.

Rashid Khan strikes with his magic, removing Saif Hassan right after the Powerplay.
Introduced straight after the field restrictions, Rashid Khan showcased his class immediately.

Saif departed for a steady 30 off 28 balls, giving Afghanistan the breakthrough they needed. Litton Das arrived at number three and cautiously opened his account with a single. At 64/1 after seven overs, Bangladesh still have a strong platform, but Rashid’s presence could change the momentum.

Tanzid Hasan lights up the Powerplay with two towering sixes, putting Bangladesh firmly on top.
Allah Ghazanfar’s second over was taken apart as Tanzid Hasan shifted gears in stunning fashion.

Saif then kept things moving with a clever three behind square before Tanzid struck again, this time depositing the ball high over square leg for another maximum.

Tanzid Hasan tears into Farooqi with a flurry of fours to lift Bangladesh’s tempo.
Fazalhaq Farooqi bent his back and searched for swing, but Tanzid Hasan was in complete control, dispatching him to all parts.

A brief UltraEdge check on a dab behind the stumps added to the drama, but Tanzid survived. With Saif Hassan rotating strike calmly, Bangladesh powered their way to 24 without loss after three overs.

Saif Hassan breaks free with the first boundary of the innings.
Azmatullah Omarzai came steaming in, probing with late movement and keeping the pressure on the openers. A loud shout for caught behind was turned down, adding early drama. Saif Hassan, however, responded in style — whipping a length ball over backward square for a crisp four. A wayward wide added to Afghanistan’s frustration, while Tanzid Hasan played watchfully at the other end. Bangladesh move to 8 without loss after two overs, with both openers still settling in.

Farooqi makes an immediate impact with the new ball.
Fazalhaq Farooqi bowled a fiery opening over, beating Saif Hassan multiple times with sharp swing both ways. An early lbw appeal was turned down, and a half-chance at cover kept the pressure on Bangladesh.

A testing start for the Tigers, who crawl to 3 without loss after the first over.

Sri Lanka On Track to Chase 150 Runs in 120 Balls.

Nizakat Khan shines with a fighting half-century as Hong Kong finish on 149.
Maheesh Theekshana kept things tight in the final over, conceding just six runs, but Nizakat Khan held firm to bring up a superb half-century. His 52* from 38 balls (4 fours, 2 sixes) was the backbone of Hong Kong’s innings, making him only the second Hong Kong player with a T20 Asia Cup fifty. Aizaz Khan offered support with a few singles, while Theekshana (4-0-22-0) and Chameera (4-0-29-2) ended with disciplined spells. Hong Kong close their innings at 149/4, setting Sri Lanka a target of 150.

Nizakat goes big! Moves into the 40s with a towering six.
Dushmantha Chameera finished his spell but not before conceding a few big hits. Nizakat Khan hammered him straight back for a massive six and picked up twos and singles to edge closer to his half-century. Aizaz Khan chipped in with a couple of singles but looked scratchy against the yorkers. Hong Kong, powered by Nizakat’s unbeaten 48*, reached 143/4 at the end of 19 overs, setting themselves up for a late flourish in the final over.

Shanaka strikes in his first over as Murtaza departs!
Dasun Shanaka made an instant impact with the ball, removing Yasim Murtaza for just 5. The short, wide delivery tempted Murtaza into a cut, but he picked out deep backward point perfectly. Shanaka celebrated as Sri Lanka chipped away further at Hong Kong’s middle order. Nizakat Khan, however, continued to hold the innings together with steady stroke play, moving to 37*. At 131/4 after 18 overs, Hong Kong will look to Nizakat and Aizaz Khan (3*) to provide a late push.

Drama with a no-ball! Murtaza finds his first boundary.
Nuwan Thushara’s final over had everything—tight yorkers, a dropped chance, a no-ball wicket overturned, and finally a cracking four from Yasim Murtaza. Thushara thought he had Nizakat caught at short third, only for it to be called a front-foot no-ball, gifting Hong Kong a free hit. Murtaza then capitalized, whipping a full ball off his pads for a stylish boundary behind square. At 126/3 after 17 overs, Nizakat (35*) and Murtaza (5*) keep Hong Kong ticking towards a strong finish.

Chameera breaks through! Rath departs after a solid 48.
Dushmantha Chameera returned to the attack and made the big breakthrough, removing Anshuman Rath for 48 with a well-directed leg-cutter that held in the pitch.

Nizakat finishes the over with a cracking boundary after Theekshana sprays a few wides.
Maheesh Theekshana struggled for control, sending down multiple wides outside off stump, giving Hong Kong some bonus runs. Rath and Nizakat worked the ball around for singles, but it was the final delivery that stood out. Theekshana pushed it wide again and Nizakat seized the chance, flashing hard behind point for four. Hong Kong continue to push forward, reaching 105/2 after 14 overs with Nizakat on 28 and Rath on 41.

Nizakat punishes Thushara with a fine boundary as Hong Kong accelerate.
Nuwan Thushara missed his lengths with a series of full tosses and Hong Kong capitalized, taking 12 runs from the over. Rath battled through a painful blow on his elbow but still managed runs with singles and a double.

With both batters rotating the strike and finding boundaries, Hong Kong’s partnership continues to flourish at 96/2 after 13 overs.

Rath and Nizakat lift the tempo with a pair of cracking boundaries.

Only one run came from the over, with Rath adding a single before Nizakat Khan saw off a couple of googlies. A wicket and tight lines meant just one run from the over, leaving Hong Kong 57/2 after 9 overs.

Tidy over from Asalanka as Hong Kong add just five runs.
Asalanka kept things tight with variations on length and line, giving away only five runs in the over. Hayat managed a couple and a streaky single, while Rath rotated the strike with two singles. The Sri Lankan spinners are starting to apply the brakes, and Hong Kong, after a brisk start, are 56/1 in 8 overs with Rath steady on 23 and Hayat yet to get going.

Anshuman Rath takes charge against Wanindu Hasaranga.
Rath welcomed Hasaranga with a drag-down that he dispatched to the leg-side boundary, followed by smart singles and a couple through extra cover.

Zeeshan Ali gets Hong Kong off to a bright start.

Samay Shrivastava defended stoutly but couldn’t rotate the strike. With 56 still needed from just 18 balls, Oman’s hopes are hanging by a thread.

Siddique’s double strike breaks Oman’s backbone.
Junaid Siddique produced a devastating over, dismissing Vinayak Shukla and Hassnain Shah in quick succession. Shukla, after hitting a boundary, miscued a hook to short fine leg to fall for 20, before Hassnain Shah was undone by a slower ball and bowled for a duck. With only two wickets left, Oman have slumped to 110/9 and now face a near-impossible chase.

Jawadullah strikes again as Ramanandi’s cameo ends.
Muhammad Jawadullah continued to apply pressure, removing Jiten Ramanandi after a short burst. Ramanandi had earlier cleared the ropes with a straight boundary but mistimed a pull to backward point, departing for 13. Shukla remains in the middle, joined by new batter Hassnain Shah, but with 69 required from 30 balls, Oman’s chase looks all but over.

Ramanandi injects some life into Oman’s innings.
Jiten Ramanandi counterpunched with intent, picking up a boundary and running aggressively between the wickets to collect nine quick runs. Vinayak Shukla supported with a couple of singles as the pair added 11 from the over. Despite the mini-revival, Oman’s equation still looks steep — 74 needed off 36 balls with just four wickets in hand.

Jawadullah halts Oman’s recovery with a key breakthrough.
Muhammad Jawadullah struck at the perfect moment, removing Aryan Bisht for 24 with a cleverly disguised slower ball that rattled the stumps. Bisht had just found the boundary earlier in the over but failed to build on it. Vinayak Shukla added a single, while Jiten Ramanandi is yet to get going. Oman sink further to 88/6, with the chase looking increasingly bleak at this stage.

Haider Ali signs off with another miserly spell.
Haider Ali bowled with discipline in his final over, giving away just four singles and keeping the pressure squarely on Oman. Aryan Bisht and Vinayak Shukla could only work the gaps for ones, failing to find the boundary. With the asking rate creeping up to over 11 an over, Oman’s chase is slipping out of reach.

Kaushik applies the brakes with another tidy over.
Harshit Kaushik kept Oman under pressure, conceding just four singles in his second over. Aryan Bisht and Vinayak Shukla tried rotating the strike but failed to break free, with boundaries drying up. At 78/5 after 11 overs, Oman’s chase has stalled and the asking rate is climbing steadily.

Bisht and Shukla steady with cautious singles.
Oman opted for risk-free cricket in this passage as Aryan Bisht and Vinayak Shukla worked the gaps for singles. The required rate, however, continues to creep up with boundaries drying out. With 99 needed off the final 10 overs, the chase hangs in the balance.

Shukla injects life with a slog-sweep four.
Vinayak Shukla broke the shackles with a powerful slog-sweep that sailed to the boundary, while Aryan Bisht kept rotating the strike. The pair managed 8 runs, but Oman still face an uphill climb with 102 required from 66 deliveries.

Bisht finds a boundary as Oman look to rebuild.
A timely four from Aryan Bisht brought some relief for Oman, while Vinayak Shukla opened his account with a single. The partnership is showing signs of stability, but the scoreboard pressure remains immense — 110 still needed from 12 overs.

Mixed over — boundaries and a wicket keep Oman on edge.
Shah Faisal struck a six to release some pressure, but Haider Ali’s sharp bowling claimed another scalp in the same over. Oman picked up 13 runs, yet the constant fall of wickets continues to dent their chase at 54/5.

Singles keep the board ticking but wickets weigh heavy.
A cautious approach from Aryan Bisht and Shah Faisal saw Oman collect seven runs in the over. However, the early damage leaves the middle order under pressure with 132 runs still needed from 14 overs.

Rohid strikes again as Oman slip further.
Muhammad Rohid continued his fiery spell, dismissing Hammad Mirza for just 5. A boundary early in the over offered a brief lift, but the wicket tilted the game further in UAE’s favor. Oman slump to 34/4 inside the powerplay.

Haider Ali’s double strike keeps Oman under the pump.
Haider Ali’s impeccable line and length trapped Wasim Ali LBW for just 1. Despite a couple of singles, Oman’s chase stuttered badly as they fell to 30/3 with the asking rate slowly climbing.

Siddique removes Jatinder after a brisk cameo.
Jatinder Singh looked threatening with a fluent 20, but Junaid Siddique ended his charge with a sharp dismissal. Hammad Mirza added runs in singles and twos, yet Oman’s chase lost vital momentum as they slipped to 28/2.

Jatinder counterattacks with three cracking boundaries.
After an early stumble, Jatinder Singh launched into Muhammad Rohid, carving three consecutive fours to seize momentum. A quick single followed as Oman surged past 20 in just the second over, keeping the chase lively despite the early loss.

Disciplined start from Shakeel Ahmed.
Shakeel troubled both openers with probing lengths and subtle movement. Alishan Sharafu stole a single to long-off, but otherwise the over yielded only one run — a tight opening salvo that kept UAE in check early on.

Oman Clinch Win With successful Chase of 173 in 120 balls

India Easily Beat Pakistan With Wickets to Spare.

Suryakumar Yadav seals the chase with a towering six over midwicket!
Sufiyan Muqeem tried to stretch the game, even burning a review for an LBW appeal against Suryakumar Yadav, but the result was never in doubt. After a couple of dot balls, SKY cleared his front leg and hammered a short delivery over midwicket for a huge six to close the innings in style. Shivam Dube remained unbeaten alongside him as India wrapped up the chase in just 15.5 overs, sealing a dominant 7-wicket victory with 25 balls to spare.

IND vs PAK Live: Will India Bring Back Arshdeep Singh?

Arshdeep Singh’s omission from the playing XI ahead of the Asia Cup clash in Dubai came as a surprise to many Indian fans. Since starring alongside Jasprit Bumrah in the T20 World Cup, Arshdeep has led India’s pace attack with remarkable consistency, excelling both in the powerplay and at the death.

His stellar performances against Bangladesh, South Africa, and England helped him climb to the top of India’s T20I bowling charts, currently boasting 99 wickets and the No. 1 ranking.

Bringing Arshdeep back into the XI may require India to compromise slightly on batting depth to maintain team balance. However, in a high-stakes IND vs PAK contest, the Men in Blue might be tempted to recall their star left-armer, even if it slightly contradicts coach Gautam Gambhir’s preferred strategies in these conditions.

IND vs PAK Live: Team India to Wear Black Armbands

Ahead of the Asia Cup clash against Pakistan, India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate confirmed that the team understands and shares the sentiments of the people following the Pahalgam terror attack earlier this year.

The Indian squad, led by Suryakumar Yadav, is set to walk the talk once the first ball is bowled, wearing black armbands as a mark of respect and condolence for all lives lost.

While it remains to be seen if the team will take additional steps to honour the victims, the wearing of black armbands has been all but confirmed, signaling solidarity and remembrance ahead of this high-profile encounter.

IND vs PAK Live: Dubai’s SKY Force?

Although Suryakumar Yadav has had a mixed season overall, his record at Dubai International Stadium remains impressive. In just nine innings, SKY has accumulated 188 runs at an average of 37.60, including one fifty.

His innings have been marked by an aggressive approach, hitting 15 fours and 11 sixes, showcasing why he is considered a match-winner in Dubai conditions.

IND vs PAK Live: Suryakumar Yadav at 35 – Late Bloomer and T20 Numero Uno

It has only been four years since that hot March evening in Ahmedabad, when Suryakumar Yadav was finally given a chance in India’s conventional T20 batting line-up. At 31, Mumbai’s super-striker made an instant statement, smashing Jofra Archer’s fiery bumper over fineleg for six.

SKY’s rapid rise in the shortest format coincided with a shift in Indian cricket, where intent often outweighed sheer averages. And he hasn’t been short on consistency either. In just 80 innings, Suryakumar has accumulated 2,605 runs at an average of 38.30, including four centuries second only to Rohit Sharma.

Remarkably, no batter has crossed the 2,000run mark with a strike rate matching SKY’s phenomenal 167.30. His strike rate remains the highest among all batters from ICC Full-Member nations with at least 1,500 runs.

While his recent form has been a little patchy, celebrating his 35th birthday on the field this Sunday could just spark another memorable performance for India’s T20I captain.

IND vs PAK Live: Reliving India’s 228-Run Rout in the Last Asia Cup Clash

When India and Pakistan last locked horns in the Asia Cup, it was a one-sided affair. After their Group A encounter was washed out due to rain, the arch rivals met again in the Super Four stage and it turned out to be a game dominated entirely by India.

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill set the tone with half-centuries, before Virat Kohli and KL Rahul piled on centuries to help India post a colossal 356/2. The rain-hit contest stretched into the reserve day, but Pakistan’s batting lineup offered little resistance.

Kuldeep Yadav was the star with the ball, dismantling Pakistan’s middle order as Babar Azam and Co. were bowled out for just 128. India eventually sealed a thumping 228-run victory one of their biggest wins against Pakistan in ODI history.

IND vs PAK Live: Five Unforgettable Asia Cup Clashes

As India and Pakistan gear up for yet another high-stakes Asia Cup battle in Dubai, we look back at five memorable encounters that have defined this fierce rivalry on the subcontinental stage.

2023: India thrashed Pakistan by a massive 228 runs, with Virat Kohli and KL Rahul scoring centuries, while Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill added half-centuries in a total of 356/2 in 50 overs.
2010: Harbhajan Singh turned match-winner with the bat in Sri Lanka, dragging India across the line in a tense finish.
2012: Virat Kohli produced one of his finest ODI knocks, a breathtaking 183 runs against Pakistan in Bangladesh, in what was Sachin Tendulkar’s final ODI for India.
2014: Shahid Afridi stole the show for Pakistan with two last-over sixes, sealing a dramatic win.
2022: Hardik Pandya emerged as India’s hero, delivering with both bat and ball in a pressure-filled contest.

Each of these games has etched itself into the folklore of Indo-Pak cricket, ensuring that whenever the two sides meet in an Asia Cup clash, fans expect nothing short of fireworks.

IND vs PAK Live: Pahalgam Victim’s Widow Urges Fans to Boycott Match

As the cricketing world gears up for the Asia Cup blockbuster between India and Pakistan, questions continue to swirl around whether the match should even go ahead in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack earlier this year.

Aishanya Dwivedi, widow of slain victim Shubham Dwivedi, has made a heartfelt appeal to fans, urging them to stay away from the game.

“BCCI should not have accepted a match between India and Pakistan. I think the BCCI is not sentimental towards those 26 families. What are our cricketers doing? It is said that cricketers are nationalists. It is viewed as our national game. But except for one or two cricket players, nobody has stepped forward to say that we should boycott the match against Pakistan. BCCI cannot make them play at gunpoint. They should take a stand for their country. But they are not doing it.”

Dwivedi also questioned the role of sponsors and broadcasters, warning that any revenue from the contest could be misused across the border.

“I would like to ask the sponsors and broadcasters if their nationality for those 26 families is finished? What will the revenue from the match be used for? Pakistan will use this just for terrorism. That is a terrorist nation. You will provide them revenue and prepare them to attack us once again. I cannot understand this. I urge people to boycott this. Do not go to watch this and do not switch on your TV for this.”

IND vs PAK Live Score Updates: Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says ‘politics should not enter games’

In the backdrop of the Asia Cup clash between India and Pakistan, and criticism following the BCCI’s decision to allow India’s participation after the heinous Pahalgam terror attack earlier this year, spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has called for sports to remain free of political interference.

“Games should be left as games. Politics should not enter the games. But unfortunately, that is not the case now. I will leave the decision to the young people of our country. If they want to play, nobody should stop them. Games unite people from all over the world… Players are not politicians, they are free. We should explore every avenue in which we can bring more peace to society.”

His remarks come amid heightened debate around the India-Pakistan cricket rivalry, with some sections calling for boycotts while others stress on sport’s power to unify across divides.

IND vs PAK Live Score Updates: Why Ashwin wants India to pick Arshdeep Singh

Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has urged the Indian think-tank to include Arshdeep Singh in the playing XI for the Asia Cup, emphasizing his consistency and value as a T20 bowler.

“You will have to bring him (Arshdeep) in the XI. You should also look at the road ahead. It is possible that they could be thinking, ‘Asia Cup is Asia Cup, let’s get the Asia Cup out of the way and then we’ll see what happens next.’ That kind of thought process can be in your mind, but in my view, my thought process is this: if you can lock Shubman Gill at the opening, you can lock Suryakumar Yadav at number four, you can lock Jasprit Bumrah at number 11, then he is fit and you can bring him into the team. Someone who has been your best T20 bowler, why doesn’t he get a lock in the team? He should! You write all those names first and then fit the rest into the team.”

Speaking on his Ash Ki Baat YouTube channel, Ashwin also highlighted what he sees as an imbalance in how batting and bowling roles are judged:

“See, this rule that there is a different rule for a batsman and a bowler, it has always been an issue in my head. It’s not right to do that. And with respect to bowling and batting, sometimes decisions about bowlers are taken by batsmen. Sometimes, people who have never bowled a single ball in their life, but bowlers have been doing that forever. So, it’s very difficult for them to understand a bowler’s mindset and his confidence. So as a bowler, think about his confidence. Arshdeep Singh, if you are telling him, ‘Brother, you have to contribute a little more with the bat,’ he will contribute. He will work hard. But if you are consistently parking him…”

Ashwin’s remarks underline the need for India to back its specialist bowlers, especially someone like Arshdeep who has proven his mettle in crunch situations.

IND vs PAK Live Score Updates: Shoaib Akhtar unhappy with Pakistan squad

Former Pakistan pace legend Shoaib Akhtar has voiced his disappointment with the squad that Pakistan have taken to the UAE for the Asia Cup.

“I think Pakistan has to bring an A+ squad (to an event like Asia Cup), first of all. I have a problem with the selection anyway, with this old squad in the first place. You don’t have a new ball bowler with Shaheen Shah Afridi. If the fast bowler is there, he should be in the squad.”

When asked about alternatives, Akhtar was clear in his choice:

“Naseem Shah.”

Akhtar further explained his concerns over the management of pace resources:

“Fast bowlers are like babies, right? Selection is not right. Now the problem is that you don’t have the whole bowling attack.”

The “Rawalpindi Express” thus left no doubt about his frustration, calling out both selection decisions and Pakistan’s lack of balance in their bowling unit.

14:42 (IST), 14 Sep 2025

IND vs PAK Live Score Updates: Wasim Akram asks fans to “forget about everything”

In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack and the subsequent Operation Sindoor, there have been mounting calls for boycotting the India vs Pakistan clash in Dubai.

However, Pakistan cricket legend Wasim Akram has urged both players and fans to set aside the politics and “enjoy the match as a game of cricket.”

“Enjoy, it’s a game of cricket. Forget about everything other than cricket. One team will win, and one team will lose. Just enjoy the moment if you win the game. Pressure will come, enjoy that and show discipline because this is just a game. It’s for both teams and for both sets of fans.”

Akram’s message stands in stark contrast to the boycott sentiment, emphasizing sport as a unifying force amid political tensions.

IND vs PAK Live Score Updates: India vs Pakistan festival of spin

Three months before the world flocks to the famous Dubai Shopping Festival, the city is already hosting a different kind of spectacle a festival of spin. At the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the spotlight today falls on the spinners of India and Pakistan, two teams steeped in rich spin tradition.

With slow pitches on offer and both squads brimming with spin options, the clash is set to be as much about guile and turn as it is about power hitting. Fans can expect a true subcontinental contest where the ball might just dominate the bat.

IND vs PAK Live Score Updates: India’s run-scoring feast since the 2024 T20 World Cup

Since their last meeting at the 2024 T20 World Cup, India have batted with remarkable freedom. They have scored at a run rate of 9.66, the third-best among ICC full member nations.

In contrast, Pakistan have gone at a run rate of 8.12, which places them at seventh on the list.

14:15 (IST), 14 Sep 2025

IND vs PAK Live Score Updates: More of the same in store for India

India have once again opted for a spin-heavy strategy in Dubai. With Jasprit Bumrah as the lone specialist fast bowler, the team has relied on all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube to provide support.

On the traditionally slow pitches in the UAE, India have packed their spin department with Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy and Axar Patel, while the part-time options of Tilak Verma and Abhishek Sharma add further depth.

Given the conditions, it would be a surprise if India were to move away from this successful combination today.

14:02 (IST), 14 Sep 2025

IND vs PAK Live Score Updates: Suryakumar Yadav’s strange struggles against Pakistan

There are few batters in world cricket more destructive than Suryakumar Yadav. Perhaps, at his best, there are none. And yet, the Indian captain has found it difficult to bring his trademark dominance into matches against Pakistan.

In the five T20Is he has played against them, SKY has scored just 64 runs at a strike rate of 118.51 and an average of 12.80. While he has come up against some world-class talent in Pakistan’s bowling lineup, the contrast is stark—because against other top attacks, he has often made world-class bowlers look utterly toothless.

13:53 (IST), 14 Sep 2025

IND vs PAK Live Score Updates: Ashwin backs India with 70% chance of victory

Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, speaking on his Ash ki Baat YouTube show, rated India as clear favourites for today’s high-voltage clash against Pakistan in Dubai, giving them a 70% chance of winning.

“I would say 70-30 in favour of India. India has a very strong team. Pakistan also has very talented people. But I think India has a lot of muscle.”

However, Ashwin also noted that conditions at the Asia Cup might favour Pakistan’s middle order, especially Salman Ali Agha.

“The match between Pakistan and Oman showed that the pitch wasn’t easy to bat on. The wickets have more moisture, the grass is thick, and the bounce can be uneven. Lateral movement reduces after a while, but the variable bounce makes it tough. If I were Salman Ali Agha, I’d be very happy to play on these pitches.”

IND vs PAK Live: Varun Chakaravarthy’s Chance at Redemption

Live Score Updates • Cricket

IND vs PAK Live: Varun Chakaravarthy’s Shot at Redemption

13:46 (IST), 14 September 2025 — Dubai International Stadium

Almost four years after being part of India’s crushing 10-wicket defeat to Pakistan in the 2021 T20 World Cup, Varun Chakaravarthy has another chance on the same stage—this time as a more seasoned and mentally tougher bowler.

By Tanishq Vaddi

Back in October 2021, Varun entered the tournament as a much-hyped mystery spinner fresh off a strong IPL season. But under the lights in Dubai, with heavy dew on the outfield and India defending a modest total, he struggled to make an impact. His selection over Yuzvendra Chahal was heavily scrutinized, and the match ended in a historic defeat for India.

Fast forward to 2025, and the story is very different. Varun has added greater finesse to his variations and, more importantly, developed the mental resilience required for the big stage. His performance in the Champions Trophy 2025 earlier this year—where he claimed nine wickets in just three games—underlined his growth as a match-winner.

With his rise over the past year in T20 cricket, today’s clash against Pakistan offers Varun not just another outing, but an arc of redemption that has been building for nearly 1,480 days.

Context: India’s 10-wicket loss to Pakistan in 2021 remains one of the most memorable results in the rivalry. For Varun Chakaravarthy, today’s game is as much about rewriting his own narrative as it is about India-Pakistan bragging rights.

IND vs PAK Live: Ashwin Weighs In on Low Ticket Sales

Ind vs Pak 2025 Live • Cricket

IND vs PAK Live: Ashwin Responds to Concerns Over Low Ticket Sales

13:41 (IST), 14 September 2025 — Dubai International Stadium

Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has shared his perspective on the reported low demand for tickets ahead of the India vs Pakistan clash in Dubai, suggesting that package-based ticketing may be dampening sales.

By Sports Desk

Speaking on his YouTube show Ash ki Baat, Ashwin was asked if the muted ticket sales pointed to a decline in hype around the iconic fixture. He dismissed the idea, pointing instead to the way tickets were being sold.

“Actually, I don’t know much about the hype. But one thing I feel is that maybe tickets for the Super Four game (between India and Pakistan) will sell. Because I think the situation is people are selling tickets by making a package of all the games, right? Where if you want to watch the India vs Pakistan match, you also have to watch the Pakistan vs Oman match. Nobody wants to watch all this, man, and it’s a waste of money. Why would people want to watch that?”
— Ravichandran Ashwin, on Ash ki Baat

Ashwin added that the true picture of fan demand would only be clear once the Super Four stage gets underway, and that India’s recent dominance may also have changed the perception of the contest.

“All in all, we can only tell what the ticket sales are like after the Super Four games, whether the craze has gone down or not. But the India vs Pakistan match, I generally feel, has become a bit of a lopsided contest. India’s strength is known to everyone. I mean, even I’m sure the Pakistani experts will definitely say that this Indian team is very, very strong compared to Pakistan’s.”
— Ravichandran Ashwin

Context: The India vs Pakistan rivalry has historically drawn packed stadiums worldwide. Reports of slow ticket sales in Dubai have sparked debate over whether the hype is waning or if logistical factors are at play.

IND vs PAK Live: Kohli, Rohit, Jadeja, Babar and Rizwan Missing From Today’s Clash

Ind Vs Pak Live updates • Cricket

IND vs PAK Live: Familiar Faces Missing as New Era Takes Shape

13:35 (IST), 14 September 2025 — Dubai International Stadium

Some of the biggest names in India-Pakistan cricket history are missing from today’s high-voltage encounter, underscoring the generational shift both sides are going through.

By Sports Desk

For years, Indian stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma tormented Pakistan’s bowling attacks in both ODIs and T20Is, while Ravindra Jadeja added balance with his all-round skills. None of the three are part of today’s fixture, having retired from the T20 format after guiding India to victory in the World Cup last year.

On the other side, Pakistani fans recall with pride the 2021 T20 World Cup clash in Dubai, when Shaheen Afridi ripped through India’s top order and the opening duo of Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam secured a memorable 10-wicket win. Yet, neither Rizwan nor Babar features today.

Unlike their Indian counterparts, Rizwan and Babar are still active and very much at the peak of their careers. Their absence today reflects Pakistan’s decision to refresh their squad and look toward the future in the shortest format of the game—at least for now.

India missing: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja (retired from T20Is)
Pakistan missing: Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan (dropped for team transition)

This absence of past icons has created space for a new generation of players to take center stage, adding intrigue to today’s encounter in Dubai.

Context: Both India and Pakistan are in transition, with legends stepping aside and new talents being tested on the biggest stage in world cricket. Today’s fixture marks one of the clearest shifts yet in this historic rivalry.

IND vs PAK Live: Afridi Lauds India’s Confidence and Depth

IND vs PAK Live: Shahid Afridi Praises India’s Confidence and Squad Depth

13:29 (IST), 14 September 2025 — Dubai International Stadium

Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has hailed the Indian cricket team’s confidence and depth, saying that even their second-string side is capable of winning major tournaments.

By Sports Desk

“You should see the body language of even the new players that come into the (Indian) team. They brim with confidence. They come ready, they have already played a hundred games in full-house, they have already shared the dressing room with international stars. They don’t have pressure or fear and are full of confidence. Even their B team can win the Asia Cup!”
— Shahid Afridi, in an interview with Pakistani media

Afridi’s comments highlight the strength of India’s cricketing system, where young players are exposed to high-pressure environments like the Indian Premier League before making their international debuts. This preparation, he suggested, gives India a significant edge in depth and temperament.

Context: Afridi’s remarks come ahead of the India vs Pakistan clash at the Dubai International Stadium, where both sides are under intense scrutiny and expectations from millions of fans worldwide.

IND vs PAK Live: Left-Hand, Right-Hand Balance Under Gambhir

Ind vs Pak Asia CUP 2025 Live updates • Cricket

IND vs PAK Live: Gambhir’s Left-Right Combination Boosting India’s Batting

13:15 (IST), 14 September 2025 — Dubai International Stadium

Under the guidance of Head Coach Gautam Gambhir, India’s batting order has found renewed balance with a strong mix of left- and right-handers—an approach proving crucial against Pakistan’s spin-heavy attack.

By Tanishq Vaddi

Before Gambhir took charge alongside Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid, India often struggled to include enough left-handers in their playing XI. The difference was evident in past tournaments: during the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia, India fielded only one left-hander in the top seven. By contrast, in the 2024 T20 World Cup, the team had Rishabh Pant, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, and Shivam Dube among the top eight, giving the lineup far more flexibility.

The payoff of this strategy was most visible in the 2024 World Cup final in Barbados against South Africa, when Axar Patel was promoted up the order to counter the Proteas’ attack after India lost three quick wickets. His presence stabilized the innings and highlighted the advantage of left-right partnerships in the middle order.

Gambhir, who has long championed this tactical balance in his Indian Premier League coaching stints, has now brought the same philosophy to the national team. Against Pakistan, the approach looks particularly valuable, given their diverse spin options:

Saim Ayub – off-spinner
Mohammad Nawaz – left-arm spinner
Abrar Ahmed – leg-spinner
Sufiyan Muqeem – left-arm wrist spinner

With multiple left-handers in the side, India appears better equipped than before to handle the variety of spin on offer in this high-stakes clash.

Context: India’s batting depth and tactical flexibility have been under scrutiny since the 2022 T20 World Cup. Gambhir’s leadership has placed greater emphasis on variety, aiming to neutralize spin-heavy bowling units like Pakistan’s.

IND vs PAK Live: Widow of Pahalgam Attack Victim Calls for Match Boycott

13:05 (IST), 14 September 2025 — Dubai International Stadium

As India and Pakistan prepare to face off at the Dubai International Stadium, emotions have been stirred by calls to boycott the fixture in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack earlier this year.

By Sports Desk

Aishanya Dwivedi, widow of Pahalgam attack victim Shubham Dwivedi, urged fans not to watch the India vs Pakistan match on Sunday, saying the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) should not have sanctioned the fixture so soon after the attack.

“BCCI should not have accepted a match between India and Pakistan. I think the BCCI is not sentimental towards those 26 families. What are our cricketers doing? It is said that cricketers are nationalists. It is viewed as our national game. But except for one or two players, nobody has stepped forward to say that we should boycott the match against Pakistan. BCCI cannot make them play at gunpoint. They should take a stand for their country. But they are not doing it.”
— Aishanya Dwivedi, speaking to ANI

Dwivedi also questioned the role of sponsors and broadcasters, asking how the match revenue will be used and warning that the proceeds could be exploited by Pakistan to further militant activities.

“I would like to ask the sponsors and broadcasters: is their sense of nationality finished when it comes to those 26 families? What will the revenue from the match be used for? Pakistan will use this just for terrorism. That is a terrorist nation. You will provide them revenue and prepare them to attack us once again. I cannot understand this. I urge people to boycott this. Do not go to watch this and do not switch on your TV for this.”
— Aishanya Dwivedi, speaking to ANI

Match organisers and cricket authorities have not issued an official response to Dwivedi’s request at the time of publication. Fans remain divided, with some calling for solidarity with the victims and others urging sport to continue as a bridge between nations.

Context: The Pahalgam terror attack occurred earlier in 2025 in Kashmir and claimed 26 lives, prompting nationwide outrage and debates over sporting ties with Pakistan. This report is based on interviews and statements provided to ANI.
