Flogs a full toss for a high six!
Pakistan vs India, 14th Match, Super Fours at Dubai, Asia Cup, Sep 21 2025 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Faheem comes above Shaheen
Delayed run-out referral. Not sure what happened there. Salman might be caught napping here. He didn't plant his bat in the crease and the direct hit connected on the bounce
Arpit: "Bumrah experience will come in handy with the last over."
Nearly a yorker, Nawaz can't get underneath and works it to long-on. 137ks
Ganesh: "Why isn't Patel bowling? Is it his injury?" Might've been due to Dube doing well
Nails the off-stump yorker. 141ks. Nawaz had an open stance but couldn't do anything about it. Slid a touch to the left and jammed it back to the bowler
Wide slower one. Let go, called wide. Fullish, Nawaz was almost on one knee and had to pull out of the swipe across the line
Bumrah to close out. Around
From Danyal, at the ground, cut off time a minute from now so India will need to bring in a fielder for the final over
Yes, goes into the pitch and keeps it to two. Good running though. Pulled from just outside off to the left of Gill at long-on. Flat throw at the keeper's, the non-striker dove into the ground which made way. Salman had enough time to make it though
Can Dube close out well
Chants of 'Pakistan' building up
Wide 114ks length ball has been cut through cover. Along the ground, sweeper cuts it off
Zaman: "Any chances of dew???" Don't know, not an issue yet
Nawaz tries charging him this time but Dube goes for the bouncer to stop him in his tracks. 128ks just outside off, cut despite being cramped for room. Finds point
Slashes for the fences, edges it fine of short third. Dube going for the wide yorker, getting it around shin-height, Nawaz stood his ground and wanted to go square. Almost swung himself off balance
Slicy pull again, this one lands well in front of long-on who was running across. Hard length around off, Nawaz going with a flat-bat shot. Pace on from Dube
First ball sails over wide long-on. 111ks on a back of length outside off, Nawaz got outside off while staying in the crease and pulled it. Off the upper-half of the bat, bisected the field. Just clears the ropes
Dube's been good and has gotten another over
Wide on a length, another leave in the 17th
Shapes for the slog sweep but ends up nurdling it back to the bowler. Got across the line and Kuldeep went on the back-half of a length on fourth, got good bounce
Dances down and pulls it on one leg, goes through midwicket and they pinch two
Darted down leg by Kuldeep, Agha wants to sweep fine. Misses. India think there might be an edge, review taken. Was a length ball on the edge of leg stump. Agha was standing on off stump and was hit on the edge of the pad. Turns out it's a review for an lbw. Pitching outside leg
Changing Times: "As Shivam Dube has been the most impressive Indian bowler, I think for Pakistan Faheem Ashraf might be a handful today. This pitch is not helping quicks as well as as spinners. The in-between bowlers are doing well."
Wide and a touch short, left alone. Surprising
Death overs begin and boundaries are back! Salman was going after it come what may. Danced down and was wrongfooted as the googly was spinning away. Not fully to the pitch but opens the bat-face a bit and drives through. Clears long-off
Kuldeep to finish
Looks like the two batters wanted to see off Varun. 30 for 3 since drinks
Stump-to-stump, on a length, defended right below
Fullish length ball at the stumps, defended to the bowler
Current Over 19 • PAK 157/5
