Pakistan Lose Momentum in Asia Cup 2025 Final
The India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 Final delivered another dramatic twist as Pakistan suffered a stunning batting collapse. From a commanding 113 for 1 with 44 balls left, they were bundled out for just 146. Nine wickets fell for only 33 runs, leaving the crowd at the Dubai International Stadium in shock. Sahibzada Farhan’s composed 57 was the lone standout performance for Pakistan in this high-voltage clash.
Kuldeep and Varun Spark Collapse
The turning point of the Asia Cup 2025 Final came through India’s spinners. Kuldeep Yadav, after conceding 23 runs in his first two overs, staged a brilliant comeback. He struck thrice in his final over, finishing with figures of 4 for 30. His spell opened the gates, and Pakistan’s batting order crumbled under pressure. At the other end, Varun Chakravarthy bowled with control and picked up crucial wickets, dismissing both Farhan and Fakhar Zaman. His figures of 2 for 30 highlighted his impact in the final.

Bumrah and Axar Deliver Under Pressure
India’s pace attack also thrived when it mattered. Jasprit Bumrah, who was initially tested by Pakistan’s batters, came back strongly. His dismissal of Haris Rauf, celebrated with a pointed gesture, reminded fans of the intensity in the India vs Pakistan cricket rivalry. Bumrah finished with 2 for 25, while Axar Patel chipped in with 2 for 26, ensuring Pakistan’s lower order never recovered. The collapse, especially between overs 13 and 18, completely shifted momentum in India’s favor.
Pakistan’s Missed Opportunity in Asia Cup 2025 Final
This Pakistan batting collapse in the Asia Cup 2025 Final was unexpected, especially after a strong platform. With wickets in hand and boundaries flowing, a competitive total seemed certain. However, poor shot selection and sustained Indian pressure meant Pakistan failed to capitalize. Apart from Farhan and Fakhar, no batter crossed 15, exposing their middle order once again.
India needs 147 to lift the Asia Cup 🏆 Will they chase it or will Pakistan defend and spoil the party? 🇮🇳🔥🇵🇰
