Pakistan set a below-par 147-run target for India in the T20I Asia Cup 2025 final at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Sunday.
After being put into bat first by Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav, Pakistan were bundled out for 146 in 19.1 overs. It happened despite a solid start provided by Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman with an 84-run opening partnership.
Sahibzada Farhan remained the top scorer for Green shirts with 57 off 38 balls. He laced with five fours and three maximums. His opening partner Fakhar Zaman contributed 46 off 35 balls with the help of two fours and two maximums.
Saim Ayub made 14 off 11 balls, hitting two boundaries. No other batter could enter the double figures as Pakistan lost seven wickets in the last five overs. They added just 26 runs and even failed to bat out their quota of 20 overs.
Kuldeep Yadav bagged four wickets while Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel took two wickets each.
Pakistan Playing XI: Fakhar Zaman, Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha (capt), Hussain Talat, Mohammad Haris (wk), Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed
