Asia Cup 2025: India Triumphs Over Pakistan in Super 4 Clash of Asia Cup 2025
India Defeats Pakistan Again in Asia Cup Super 4 Thriller: In a thrilling Super 4 encounter of the Asia Cup 2025, India registered a convincing 6-wicket victory over arch-rivals Pakistan. After winning the toss, India opted to bowl first and displayed disciplined bowling to restrict Pakistan to 171/5 in 20 overs. Opener Sahibzada Farhan was the standout performer for Pakistan with a gritty 58, but the Indian bowlers did well to curb the middle order. Shivam Dube led the bowling effort with two crucial wickets, while Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Jadhav chipped in with one wicket each.
Despite a steady start from Pakistan, India’s bowling attack kept the scoring in check during the latter overs, preventing a late surge. Pakistan struggled to accelerate, thanks to tight fielding and clever variations by the Indian bowlers. Their total of 171 seemed competitive, but not enough to challenge the strong Indian batting lineup.
India’s chase began confidently, with openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill laying a solid foundation. Abhishek dazzled with an impressive 74 off 45 balls, while Gill contributed a valuable 47. India reached the target in 18.5 overs, finishing at 174/4 and sealing the match with 7 balls to spare. With this win, India continues its dominant run in the tournament and moves one step closer to the final.
