There was a different level of competitiveness during the Super 4 fixture between India and Pakistan of the 2025 Asia Cup season at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Pakistan, the Salman Ali Agha-led side, was in a great position to cross the 200-run mark in their scorecard, but they couldn’t even get to 175 in this clash due to some great middle overs from India.
The Indian crowd stood for their players and took their wrath against the pacer of the Pakistan side, Haris Rauf, who was fielding at the edge of the boundary rope. The Indian spectators started chanting Virat Kohli’s name before him, which was seemingly because of the former player’s brilliance during the 2022 T20 World Cup in Melbourne.
Rauf gave a reply to the crowd with his gesture by brushing his ears, showing that he couldn’t hear any criticism. On the other hand, he also showed the signs of the Pakistan Air Force’s call to destroy six flights of India during Operation Sindhoor earlier this year.

Pakistan posted 171 runs on the board in their allotted 20 overs of the first innings. Their opening batter, Sahibzada Farhan, drilled 50 runs in the opening position before Faheem Ashraf’s unbeaten 20 runs in eight balls at a strike rate of 250 helped them immensely in setting the score.
Haris Rauf, with the ball, was lethal, thanks to his fine figure of 2/26 in four overs at an economy rate of 6.50. His first wicket was Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian T20I captain, who got caught in the third man region while he broke the stumps of Sanju Samson on 13 runs in 17 deliveries.
In reply, during the chase, Abhishek Sharma has clubbed 74 runs in 39 balls at a strike rate of six boundaries and five sixes, while Shubman Gill dashed 47 runs in 28 balls at a strike rate of 167.86. Later, Tilak Verma’s unbeaten 30 runs shouldered them over the line by six wickets and seven balls to spare.
