Cricket crazy folks, the Asia Cup 2025’s blockbuster IND vs PAK is in full swing at Dubai International Stadium, and oh boy, is it delivering the drama! Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first, but their innings turned into a comedy of errors faster than you can say “Shaheen’s sixes.” All out for a paltry 127/9 in 20 overs, thanks to India’s spin wizards Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav who spun a web around the Pakistani batters. But hold onto your seats – Shaheen Afridi played the hero with a blistering 33 off 16 balls, smashing four massive sixes that had the crowd roaring! Now, it’s India’s turn to chase 128, and with Suryakumar Yadav at the helm, expect fireworks under the lights. Drawing from live Cricbuzz data as of 8:00 PM IST, here’s the full scorecard, hilarious highlights (like Tilak’s diving miss that still got the wicket), and why this match is already a meme-fest. Pakistan’s collapse was so quick, it’s like they showed up for a T10 game by mistake – but with Shaheen’s late heroics, it’s not over till it’s over!
Toss Drama and Pakistan’s Batting Blunder: From 1/1 to Shaheen’s Fireworks
Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha called heads at the toss and won, opting to bat first on a pitch that looked batsman-friendly but turned into a spinner’s paradise. What followed was a Pakistani top-order meltdown that had fans laughing and crying in equal measure! Saim Ayub’s golden duck off Hardik Pandya in the first ball? Classic Indo-Pak start – Pakistan 1/1 after 0.1 overs. Mohammad Haris joined the party with another duck to Bumrah, leaving them 6/2. Fakhar Zaman and Sahibzada Farhan tried a rescue act, adding 39 for the third wicket, but Axar Patel said “not today” with two quick strikes – Fakhar gone for 17, Salman Agha lbw for 3. By 9.6 overs, Pakistan were 49/4, and it felt like India was playing a charity match. Hasan Nawaz chipped in 5, but Kuldeep Yadav’s double blow in one over (Hasan c Axar, Mohammad Nawaz lbw for 0) had everyone chuckling – “Spin twins at work!” Cricbuzz commentary quipped, “Pakistan’s middle order is folding like a cheap lawn chair.” Faheem Ashraf added 11 before Varun Chakaravarthy got him lbw, Sufiyan Muqeem b Bumrah for 10, and then the star turn: Shaheen Afridi unbeaten on 33 off 16, with four sixes that nearly cleared the stadium! His late surge pushed Pakistan to 127/9, but it was too little too late. Extras? Just 5 wides and a no-ball – India’s bowlers were on point. What a collapse – from potential 200 to 127; Pakistan’s batsmen must be wondering if they forgot their hitting shoes!
Funny moment of the innings: Tilak Varma’s full-length dive for Fakhar’s catch – he overran it, the ball hit his arm, but it stuck! Cricbuzz called it “a wicket won by physics.” Pakistan’s powerplay: 25/2, and seamers Hardik and Bumrah set the tone with 3/34 combined. Spinners Axar (2/18) and Kuldeep (3/30) stole the show, proving spin rules in Dubai. Run rate? A measly 6.35 – slower than a Sunday drive!
