In the Asia Cup 2025 match against Pakistan, Team India yet again secured a dominating victory by six wickets at the Dubai International Stadium.

During the match, Pakistan's opening batsman, Sahibzada Farhan, played a crucial knock of 58 runs in 45 balls, including five boundaries and three maximums.


After completing his half-century in the first innings, Sahibzada celebrated his achievement by emulating as if he was firing bullet shots from his bat.



The celebration led to severe criticism of the batsman, as the "Men in Green" yet again suffered a humiliating loss against Team India.

Later, the Pakistani bowlers got the taste of their medicine when Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill delivered a glorious opening partnership.

During the match, it seemed as if the Pakistan bowlers regretted their early celebrations. Facing just 39 balls, the explosive batsman, Abhishek, garnered 74 runs, with the help of six boundaries and five maximums. Along with him, Shubman made crucial contributions by scoring 47 runs in 28 balls, including eight boundaries.

Their stubborn innings also led to the frustration of Pakistani bowlers. Lead pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf were seen exchanging words with the Indian duo, as the bowlers had no answers to stop the rampant destruction from the opposition.

No wonder why the former Pakistan cricketers are often seen criticising their own players after suffering a loss against arch-rivals, India. When it comes to showcasing their skills with bat and ball on the ground, no incumbent Pakistani players have delivered consistent performances against India.

But when it comes to making gestures or exchanging controversial words, the "Men in Green" consider themselves dark horses in the game.

In the match, having been put to chase a target of 172 runs, Team India scored a total of 174 runs. Abhishek Sharma played a glorious knock of 74 runs off just 39 deliveries, which was laced with six boundaries and five maximums.

Fellow opening batsman, Gill, too smashed 47 runs in 28 balls, with the help of eight boundaries.

Later, Tilak Varma delivered a fiery knock of an unbeaten 30 runs. His knock came in 19 balls, which saw him smash two boundaries and the same number of maximums.

The result of the India vs Pakistan game remains no different as the "Men in Blue" continue to maintain their domination over Pakistan.
