🏏 INDvsPAK Super Fours: India Seal Comfortable Win
INDvsPAK in the Asia Cup 2025 Super Fours ended with India outclassing Pakistan by six wickets at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Although Pakistan put up 171/5, India’s aggressive batting ensured the chase was never in doubt. As a result, the Men in Blue crossed the finish line in just 18.5 overs, powered by Abhishek Sharma’s brilliance and Gill’s strong support.
Pakistan chose to bat first; however, they struggled to maintain momentum. Fakhar Zaman (15 off 9) fell early, while Saim Ayub (21 off 17) tried to accelerate but could not build a big score. The innings was anchored by Sahibzada Farhan (58 off 45), who played with patience and aggression when required.
Even though Salman Agha (17 off 13)* offered some late resistance, India’s disciplined bowling made scoring difficult. Shivam Dube (2/32) struck with vital breakthroughs, whereas Kuldeep Yadav (1/31) and Hardik Pandya (1/29) kept the pressure on. Consequently, Pakistan managed only 171/5 in 20 overs, which was slightly below par in Dubai conditions.

Together, they added 105 runs for the opening stand, which effectively decided the game.
Although Haris Rauf (2/26) created a brief opening by dismissing Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson, India never lost control. In fact, Tilak Varma (30 off 19)* and Hardik Pandya (7 off 7)* calmly ensured there were no late stumbles.
