New Delhi. When cricket is not just a game, when every four, every wicket becomes a symbol of honor of the country, it becomes a mission, India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2025 Final is one such mission which is the only purpose of the team team. Tensions, rhetoric, sharp eyes, and zubani arrows started outside the field. While Pakistani players would like to defeat India in a “psychological war” under pressure, the Indian camp will land in the Samat Maidan with a different energy with restraint, preparation and response.
Haris Rauf has to wash
In an exclusive conversation with News18 Hindi, former India wicketkeeper and commentary in Asia Cup, Saba Karim said that there is a need to be careful with the tainted bowler Haris Rauf. The bowlers who are being considered for the initial overs are Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf, who have performed brilliantly in the tournament and have taken nine wickets. In two matches against India, Shaheen has been ineffective and has not been able to take a single wicket. His career has also been in the same condition, where he has played five matches and has been able to take only four wickets, at an average of 39 and an economy rate of 8.80. Harris’s performance has been a bit better. In the September 21 match, he returned with a 2/26 figure. Actually, he likes to bowl against India, as he has taken 9 wickets in 6 matches at an average of 20. Therefore, it is clear that India will have to better manage Harris.
Abhishek Sharma likes Shaheen
Talking about Abhishek Sharma, his performance against Shaheen has been very good, he has scored 31 runs in 14 balls with the help of three sixes and two fours at a strike rate of 221. Haris’s performance has also been better. Abhishek has scored only 11 runs in 9 balls with the help of only one four. Talking about Shubman Gill, he has scored 62 runs in 53 balls against Shaheen. Their average is 31 and the strike rate is less than 120, including two outs. Haris has done better again. He has given only 14 runs in 22 balls, including one out, due to which his average is only 14. There is a possibility that Suryakumar Yadav may bat at number three in the final, and his record against both of them is worrying.
This Asia Cup Suryakumar has scored only six runs in six balls against Shaheen, out of which four are dots. It is clear that Sky has to struggle in front of this long fast bowler, while Haris has also performed amazing against the Indian captain. Haris has dismissed the Indian captain three times in 10 balls, has given only 11 runs and his average is only 3.7. It is clear from this that on the night of the final night, Indian top 3 batsmen will have to be careful with harice more than Shaheen.
