While the Pakistan bowlers were on top, Indian cricketer Tilak Varma smashed two back-to-back boundaries, one of which was a much-needed six.

After India sent Pakistan to bat first in the Asia Cup 2025 Final at Dubai, while Pakistan were once dominating at 84/0 and 113/1, their batting faced a huge collapse as India bowled them out for 146 runs. Indian spinners shared eight wickets, with a four-fer for Kuldeep Yadav, who dominated despite having an expensive spell in his first two overs of the match. Also, the Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah delivered strongly at the end with two wickets. Pakistan lost their last nine wickets for only 33 runs, as the Men in Blues made a strong comeback in the game. However, the Pakistan pacers provided strong starts in the powerplay, as the Final match has taken a tense moment.
