INDIA BATTING:
India is set to begin their run chase. The umpires make their way out to the field, followed closely by Salman Agha and his team as the Pakistani players take their positions. Opening the batting for India, Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill stride confidently towards the crease. Shaheen Afridi readies himself for the pivotal first over of this innings—a phase where he is renowned for striking early blows. Pakistan will be looking for early breakthroughs in these first six overs to put immediate pressure on India. Abhishek takes guard for the first delivery. Here we go!
1.1: Faheem Ashraf to Abhishek Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! How about that for a start? Faheem Ashraf gets the massive wicket of Abhishek Sharma on the very first ball.
2.3: Shaheen Afridi to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! CAUGHT! Shaheen Afridi strikes a massive blow now! The Indian skipper falls cheaply yet again. Afridi rolls his fingers over the ball and angles it across the right-hander, on a length. Suryakumar plays in front of his body and the ball is not full enough for the drive. Chips it uppishly with his feet going nowhere. It dips in front of Salman Agha at mid off as he charges in and puts in a dive.
3.6: Faheem Ashraf to Shubman Gill, OUT! c Haris Rauf b Faheem Ashraf. They are 20/3 at the end of 4 overs.
12.2: Abrar Ahmed to Sanju Samson, OUT! c Sahibzada Farhan b Abrar Ahmed.
19.4: Haris Rauf to Rinku Singh, FOUR! RINKU SINGH FINISHES OFF IN STYLE! INDIA WIN THE ASIA CUP 2025!
