IND Win By Nine Wickets | India vs United Arab Emirates Highlights of Asia Cup 2025: India Achieve Fastest Chase in T20Is As Bowlers Help Them Scalp Dominant Victory

That's It! This is the fastest chase achieved by India in T20I history. They do it in 4.3 overs. Gave almost no chance to UAE and scalped a clinical victory. Abhishek Sharma gave the start and Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav finished things off. Bowlers will receive all the credit for wrapping up UAE for only 57 runs. India open their Asia Cup campaign with a statement victory. 

Out! End of a short yet explosive innings from Abhishek Sharma. Just what you expect from the Indian star. He has taken apart the spinners and took on the seamers as well. This was another such delivery from Junaid Siddique, but this time it got bigger on him. Haider Ali comes from mid-on to his left and settles under that for a good catch. India on brink of a victory here. Abhishek Sharma c Haider Ali b Junaid Siddique 30(16).

Some brilliant strokeplay from the two friends from Punjab. Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma has made it clear that they want to end the match in a hurry. In the first over Abhishek charged at the bowler and made his intensions clear. In the second over, Shubman Gill landed some lusty bowls boosting it further. 

Out! That's the end of UAE's innings. This is the lowest total against India in T20Is. UAE gets wrapped up for only 57 and Kuldeep Yadav is the pick of the bowlers with four wickets. Even Shivam Dube has three wickets and the rest were shared by Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel. This is going to be an easy and quick chase for India. Haider Ali c Samson b Kuldeep Yadav 1(2).

Out! Chaos inside the field. Two wickets in the over and a dramatic run out appeal. First Shivam Dube dismissed Dhruv Parashar. The ball kept low and hit Parashar flush on the pads infront of the wicket. After that a drama happened. Batter Junaid Siddique was put off by the bowler's towels falling off and despite a legit stumping appeal almost dismissed Junaid, Suryakumar Yadav took the appeal back showing fair play. Junaid didn't survive long as he went for the big hit only to mistime it and he got holed out at deep. Junaid Siddique c Suryakumar Yadav b Shivam Dube 0(3).

Out! Simranjeet Singh is the latest one to depart. Axar Patel was the one who scalped the wicket. Harmless delivery on the stumps, the length made Simranjeet Singh opt for a sweep but he missed the line completely. Got struck flush infront of the wicket and umpire raised the finger. DRS showed umpires call on hitting and Simranjeet had to depart. Simranjeet Singh lbw b Axar 1(5).

Out! Asif Khan departs and the last batting reserves of UAE are getting depleted. India were looking to give Shivam Dube some bowling practice with the match in their control and Dube has stepped up. On length, gets the ball to seam away and Asif Khan gets a nick with the ball comfortably carrying to the hands of Sanju Samson. India are making their quality clear. Asif Khan c Samson b Shivam Dube 2(7).

Out! On expected lines, UAE are crumbling here. Harshit Kaushik didn't pick Kuldeep Yadav in the first ball bit got saved due to an inside. Second ball was similar, drew Harshit to the front and sneaked in through the bat-pad gap to clean him up. India looking to close out the game quickly. Harshit Kaushik b Kuldeep Yadav 2(2).

Out! Captain Muhammad Waseem departs and it is a body blow for UAE. Waseem went for the sweep shot against Kuldeep Yadav. Moved across and wanted to put the ball in square, didn't get any bat on it and DRS showed three reds clearing whether the ball pitched inside the line. UAE in deep trouble now. Muhammad Waseem lbw b Kuldeep Yadav 19(22).

Out! Rahul Chopra departs. India had been playing the baits in front of UAE and the hosts have taken them so far. Kuldeep Yadav was bowling slow and tossing it up full, wanting for the UAE batters to take on the big boundaries and Chopra fell in the trap, only to find the deep mid wicket fielder. India are controlling the game here. Rahul Chopra c Gill b Kuldeep Yadav 3(7).
