When the Indian batters arrived to score some runs for their team, they were chasing 172 runs for the Men in Blue. The batter Abhishek Sharma alone scored 74 runs at the top and hit a lot of sixes. Tilak Varma provided the final touch to the team with a 30-run cameo off just 19 balls.
"When the second match came along, there was an improved batting performance by Pakistan in the first half before the loss of three wickets put them on the back foot again, and despite getting big runs in the final three overs, they were 20 runs shorter than what they would have wanted."
Despite praising the dominance of the Indian openers, Gavaskar had some special praise reserved for Tilak Varma, claiming that he manhandled Shaheen Afridi, the best Pakistani bowler, with some glorious hits.
India might face Pakistan again in the Final
The two arch-rivals from Asia, Pakistan and India, have played twice in the Asia Cup and have a chance of clashing for the third time in the Asia Cup 2025 final on the 28th of September.
On the other hand, Pakistan began their Super-4 with a loss against India, but will be eyeing to emerge as the winners against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Two further wins can take Pakistan to the finals, but for this, they need India to win both matches.
India to go head-to-head against Bangladesh, while Pakistan set to face Sri Lanka
Pakistan, on the other hand, might be looking forward to making some much-needed changes in order to revive their dominance in the tournament. Their next game is scheduled against Sri Lanka, and if they can win this fixture, the match against Bangladesh will be an unofficial semi-final-type match. This is because only the winner of that game will advance to the Asia Cup 2025 final.
