India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score, Asia Cup 2025: India chase down Pakistan’s 127, Suryakumar Yadav seals victory with a six

uldeep Yadav, named Player of the Match, said he focused on keeping things simple and executing his plans while bowling. “All I tried to do was react to what Pakistan were attempting,” he said. He emphasized the importance of the first delivery, adding, “The first ball should always be a wicket-taking ball. You have to go with that mindset and execute because the batter is new at the crease, and that’s your chance to get on top.”

Despite the performance, Kuldeep remained humble, saying he doesn’t feel on top of the world. He acknowledged areas for improvement, noting, “I still feel I have to work on my bowling. I try too many variations and need to learn where to use them.”

There was barely a moment to feel anxious about India’s chase of 128, as Abhishek Sharma started with intent, punishing Shaheen Afridi from the very first over. His aggressive approach laid the foundation, allowing India to rack up 60 runs in the powerplay alone.

Suryakumar Yadav smashes a towering six off Sufiyan Muqeem to seal a comfortable victory for India. Chasing a modest 128, India paced their innings brilliantly, with SKY anchoring the chase alongside timely support from the middle order. Pakistan’s bowlers, despite early breakthroughs, couldn’t contain the Indian batters, and India crosses the line with authority.

Suryakumar Yadav nudges a short, fast delivery from Sufiyan Muqeem down the leg side for a single to long-on. The run helps maintain the momentum for India while keeping the required run rate comfortably under control.

Suryakumar Yadav continues his sublime form as he dispatches a 4 off Saim Ayub. The ball, pitched down the leg, is met with a confident sweep that finds the gap to the left of the deep fielder at fine. With India now just three runs away from completing the chase, the match seems firmly in their grasp.

Suryakumar Yadav drove Mohammad Nawaz for a solid four, bringing up another boundary for India. With the scoreboard moving steadily, he continues to anchor the innings alongside Shivam Dube, keeping the required run rate under control as India inch closer to their target.

Saim Ayub strikes again! Tilak Varma looks to push through the off side but misjudges the turn. The ball sneaks through the gap and clatters into the off stump. Varma departs after a steady 31 off 31 balls, leaving India three down in their chase.

Tilak Varma survives as Pakistan put down a crucial opportunity. Mohammad Nawaz tempted him into a false shot, but the catch was spilled. A let-off that India will happily take as the partnership continues to build.

Abrar Ahmed to Suryakumar Yadav, 2 runs. Slightly short and on leg, SKY works it away with soft hands behind square. Quick running between the wickets fetches a couple.

India continue to keep the chase well under control, adding 14 runs in the over. Both batters are rotating strike smartly while punishing the loose deliveries. With 40 runs needed off 60 balls, the required rate has dipped to just 4 an over.

Just three runs came off the ninth over as India moved to 74/2. The required run rate has crept up slightly to 4.90, with 54 needed from 66 balls.

Suryakumar Yadav is on 10 from 12 balls, while Tilak Varma remains steady at 21 from 22 balls. For Pakistan, Abrar Ahmed has been particularly tidy, returning figures of 3-0-11-0, and Sufiyan Muqeem has 1-0-7-0 so far.

Sufiyan Muqeem loses control, and Suryakumar Yadav takes full advantage by cracking it for four. India continue to chip away at the target, keeping the asking rate well under control.

Mohammad Nawaz proved expensive in his first over, conceding 13 runs, whereas Abrar Ahmed was tighter with just 5 from his over. India now need 67 runs off 84 balls at a required rate of 4.78.

At the end of five overs, India stand at 48 for 2 in their chase of 128. The run rate has dipped slightly to 9.60 with the required rate now 5.33. Suryakumar Yadav is on 3 off 6 balls, while Tilak Varma has 2 from 4. Abrar Ahmed bowled a tight first over, conceding just 5, as Pakistan look to claw back through spin

The fourth over brought mixed fortunes for India as they added nine runs but lost the big wicket of Abhishek Sharma. After a flying start, the chase now stands at 42 for 2 in four overs. Abhishek’s blistering 31 off 13 balls gave India momentum, but Pakistan found a way back through Saim Ayub’s breakthroughs. With Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma at the crease, India still needs 86 runs from 96 balls at a required run rate of 5.37.
