India beat Pakistan by six wickets! What a performance this has been by India and Pakistan are on the losing side yet again just like last Sunday. Abhishek Sharma was the star of the show with a 74-run knock that came off just 39 balls as India chased down the 172-run target in 18.5 overs! India have a winning start to their Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 campaign. Pakistan put up a much-improved performance with the bat this time around but it has been the bowling that has let them down once again in the space of a week against India. Batting first, it was Sahibzada Farhan who scored 58 runs off 45 deliveries to help Pakistan set a 172-run target for India. For India, Shivam Dube was the best bowler as he scalped two wickets for 22 runs while Hardik Pandya (1/29) and Kuldeep Yadav (1/31) got one each.
The total looked challenging if early wickets were taken by the Pakistan bowlers. But what followed was absolute carnage unleashed by Abhishek Sharma. The world no 1 ranked T20I batter smashed the Pakistan bowlers to all parts of the ground alongside Shubman Gill, who too looked pretty fluent for his 28-ball 47. The two had a 105-run opening partnership. Although Pakistan did fight back with a few wickets, India were always in control of the chase and got home comfortably. For Pakistan, Haris Rauf was the best bowler with figures of 2/26 in four overs. Take a look at the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 points table here.

The partnership between Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma has crossed 100 runs and so far, it has been all India! All of the Pakistan bowlers have been taken to the cleaners and India are proving to be too hot to handle for Pakistan here.
