While chasing the target, Bangladesh-A’s score also remained 125. Batting first in the Super Over, Bangladesh could score only 6 runs, which Pakistan completed in 4 balls. Know how much amount Pakistan Shaheen received as prize money after becoming champion.

Bangladesh A reached the final by defeating India A in the semi-finals, the result of that match also came out in the super over. Whereas Pakistan Shaheen defeated Sri Lanka in the semi-finals. The final match of Asia Cup Rising Stars was played on Sunday, 23 November in Doha.

Ahmed Daniyal became player of the match

In the final match, Pakistan, batting first, scored 125 runs, while the team’s 6 wickets fell at 75 runs. It seemed that the entire team would not be able to score even 100 runs. Saad Masood scored the most runs for Pakistan, he scored 38 runs in 26 balls with the help of 3 sixes and the same number of fours.

The batsmen of Bangladesh A team also could not do anything special, although the credit for this also goes to the bowlers of Pakistan who kept on controlling the runs along with taking wickets continuously. Ahamed Daniyal was chosen as the player of the match, who took 2 wickets for just 11 runs in 4 overs. Sufia Muqeem also gave 11 runs in 4 overs, she took 3 wickets.

Ahmed Daniyal bowled for Pakistan in the Super Over, he took the first wicket in the form of Abdul Ghaffar on the second ball and the second wicket in the form of Zeeshan Alam on the third ball. Let us tell you that there can be a maximum of 2 wickets in the super over.

Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 Prize Money

Pakistan Shaheens received a prize money of US$20,000 for becoming the champion. If seen in Indian currency, it is approximately Rs 17 lakh 85 thousand. This is more than Rs 56 lakh in Pakistan currency.

Former Pakistan legend Basit Ali had a special conversation with ABP Live about Shubman Gill captaining India in ODIs, India’s defeat against Bangladesh in the semi-finals of the Emerging Asia Cup, the news of Hardik Pandya not playing in the ODI series against South Africa and the second Test between India and South Africa being played in Guwahati. Here you can read the full interview of Basit Ali.

‘Indian Management should get Nobel Prize’

India lost in the Super Over against Bangladesh in the semi-finals of the Emerging Asia Cup. Explosive batsmen like Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Priyansh Arya were not sent in the Super Over. In such a situation, when asked about India’s defeat, Basit Ali said, “According to me, the Indian management should get the Nobel Prize. Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Priyansh were not made to open, even though both were the biggest hitters. This was the biggest reason for India’s defeat. Vaibhav Suryavanshi was the batsman who hit the most sixes in the tournament. The management and captain Jitesh Sharma made a big mistake and that is why India could not qualify for the finals.”

Now Indian players are shaking hands – Basil Ali

On Indian players not shaking hands with Pakistani players in the 2025 Asia Cup and 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup, Basit Ali said, “There is no rule of shaking hands in cricket. But the Indian players who were talking about boycotting and not playing Pakistan in the franchise league, are now shaking hands with Pakistani players.” Here Basit Ali was referring to Harbhajan Singh shaking hands with Shahnawaz Dahani during the Abu Dhabi T10 League.

He further said, “Even though hands were not shaken in the Asia Cup, hands will be joined in future. It will take some time, but hands will be joined once again. Because India and Pakistan are two countries which cannot live without each other.”

Shubman Gill was made captain in a hurry, Gambhir did not want Rohit to be captain – Basit Ali

On Shubman Gill being made the captain by taking over the ODI captaincy from Rohit Sharma, Basit Ali said, “Shubman Gill was made the captain in a hurry and this decision was taken on choice or not. Rohit Sharma should have been allowed to remain the captain on the Australia tour. According to me, what was wrong with Rohit. Rohit is a big player, and he has won matches all over the world with his captaincy and batting. Rohit has given the proof of his batting with a century in the last match. I think Gautam Gambhir did not want Rohit to be the captain. “Became.”

Jaiswal should play like Travis Head- Basit Ali

You lost 3 test matches to New Zealand on spin tracks. Same thing happens in Pakistan that whenever Bangladesh comes, seaming wickets are made. According to me, the pitch in the Test should be such that the Test gets completed in 4 days. Regarding the Kolkata pitch, he said, “Earlier such pitches were not made in India. Earlier such pitches were made in India that there was a ball break on the fourth and fifth day, but now the ball is broken from the first day. This shows that Gautam Gambhir is in a hurry to play the World Test Championship final.”

Regarding the Guwahati Test, Basit Ali said, “Such pitches are not easy in the fourth innings. The toss is very important in this. The same thing happened in the first Test also. Today India has dropped 6 wickets of South Africa, but tomorrow India will have to dismiss South Africa before lunch. Then Yashasvi Jaiswal will have to bat like Travis Head. Right now the match is under India’s control. India will win this match and level the series.”

If India loses, Gautam Gambhir will not remain the coach in Test – Basit Ali

In this interview, the former Pakistani legend also said that if India loses the second Test against South Africa in Guwahati, then Gautam Gambhir will no longer be a coach in Test cricket. The way things are going on, it is clear that Gautam will no longer be the coach of red ball cricket if he loses the Guwahati Test.

In the ACC Men’s Asia Cup Rising Stars match played on Sunday, Pakistan A team defeated Indian A team by 8 wickets. After this, a shocking claim was made on social media that after the match was over, the Indian players had gone to shake hands with the Pakistani players, but the players of the Pakistan team left from there. Know the truth of this viral claim, a video of it is also going viral on social media.

The ‘No Handshake’ controversy was first seen in the Asia Cup, when Suryakumar Yadav did not shake hands with Salman Ali Aga at the toss and refused to shake hands with Pakistan players even after winning the match. It was already anticipated that no handshake would continue in the Asia Cup Rising Stars tournament on Sunday. However, the opposite was claimed.

NO WAY Indian players came to shake hands but Pakistani players just walked away India is getting a taste of its own medicine

Posting on social media, a user wrote, “This cannot happen, Indian players came to shake hands with Pakistani players but the Pakistan team left from there. India got to taste its own bitter medicine.”

What is the truth of the viral claim?

However, the viral claim and the truth are completely different. A video also surfaced on social media, in which Pakistani players are shaking hands with each other without any haste. Their support staff are also shaking hands, this clearly shows that no player or staff member from India went to shake hands with Pakistan, nor tried to. So this claim is completely wrong.

IND A vs PAK A: The match between India and Pakistan A in the Men’s Rising Star Asia Cup 2025 has been completely engulfed in controversies. In this match played in Doha, Pakistan A registered an easy victory by 8 wickets. However, an incident happened during the match which made the blood of cricket fans boil. The indecent act done by Pakistan bowler Saad Masood after dismissing Naman Dheer is considered against the spirit of the game.

The player misbehaved by dismissing Naman Dheer

Saad Masood was bowling his 9th over for Pakistan A. Indian batsman Naman Dheer was present at the crease. Naman Dheer was caught out on the fourth ball of Saad’s over. As soon as Naman moved towards the pavilion, Saad Masood looked at him angrily and signaled him to go out. The camera captured this action on the field and the video quickly went viral on social media. Indian fans and many veteran players have described this behavior as ‘inappropriate’ and ‘shameful’.

match status

After winning the toss, Pakistan A chose to bowl first and this decision proved to be correct. India A team could not even last 20 overs. The entire team returned to the pavilion after scoring 136 runs in 19 overs. Vaibhav Suryavanshi gave a fast start by scoring 45 runs in 28 balls. Naman Dheer played a useful inning of 35 runs. The rest of the batsmen could not stand against the tight bowling of Pakistan.

Sadaqat’s stormy innings took away hope from India

Pakistan A had a strong start while chasing the target of 137 runs. Opener Maaz Sadaqat dashed India’s hopes by scoring 79 runs in 47 balls. Mohammad Naeem (14) and Yasir Khan (11) played short but important innings. In the end, Pakistan won the match in just 13.2 overs and achieved the target by 8 wickets unbeaten.

For India, Yash Thakur and Suyyash Sharma took one wicket each, but the bowling could not keep India long in the match.

IND vs PAK: India and Pakistan were face to face in the high-voltage match of Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025, but along with the match, a big controversy also remained in the headlines. Pakistan won the match by 8 wickets, but during the match, there was a huge uproar on the field regarding the controversial catch of Maaz Sadaqat. The Indian team and captain Jitesh Sharma looked so angry with the umpire’s decision that the game even stopped for some time.

How not out even after taking the catch?

Suyyash Sharma was bowling in the 10th over. Maaz Sadaqat hit a big shot on the very first ball. Nehal Vadhera standing at the boundary made a brilliant effort and caught the ball in the air. When he lost his balance, he threw the ball towards Naman Dheer standing inside the boundary, and Dheer completed the catch. Team India felt that it had got the wicket, the players started celebrating. However, the third umpire after seeing the replays gave a big decision – Sadaqat not out.

It was all happening in Qatar And things got pretty heated in the middle…

Jitesh Sharma’s argument with the umpire

Immediately after the decision, Indian captain Jitesh Sharma angrily confronted the umpire. Jitesh was seen arguing a lot regarding his decision. Even after so much of their argument, the umpire could not change his decision as per the rules and Sadaqat remained at the crease.

ICC’s new rule became the cause of controversy

According to the new fielding rules of ICC applicable from October 2025:

1- The fielder can touch the ball once outside the boundary while it is in the air.

2- A catch will be considered valid only if he regains control inside the field before touching or leaving the ball.

In this entire matter, it was believed that Nehal Vadhera did not return to the field after throwing the ball in and had himself gone out of the boundary. For this reason the catch did not fall in the category of “fair catch” and Sadaqat was declared not out.

match status

Despite the controversy, Maaz Sadaqat’s game was excellent. He scored unbeaten 79 runs in 47 balls and gave Pakistan victory in just 13.2 overs. Sadaqat hit 7 fours and 4 sixes and also took 2 wickets in bowling.

In response to the target of 298 runs, the UAE team could score only 149 runs.

Indian cricketer who brought glory to Bihar, 14 year old Vaibhav Suryavanshi is also in the list

India vs Australia 5th T20 in Brisbane was canceled due to rain, with this India won the 5 match series 2-1. Suryakumar Yadav, who was appointed the captain of this format after the T20 World Cup, has won 5 consecutive T20 series. After this, Surya, who came to the press conference, took a dig at PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who ran away with the Asia Cup trophy won by Team India.

Suryakumar Yadav came to the press conference with Abhishek Sharma, who was adjudged the player of the series. Surya was asked how he felt after touching the trophy? So he also quipped that it felt good to hold the trophy in hand. This was a sarcasm on Mohsin Naqvi. Actually, India had won the trophy by defeating Pakistan in the Asia Cup final, but Mohsin Naqvi took the trophy with himself in a petty act. This was perhaps the first time in history that a trophy was not given to a winning team.

Suryakumar Yadav took a jibe at Mohsin Naqvi

Suryakumar Yadav said in the press conference, “It feels great to finally touch the trophy. When I was handed the series win trophy, I felt it in my hands. Just a few days ago, another trophy has come to India, our women’s team has won the World Cup. That trophy has also come back home. It feels great and it also feels good to touch this trophy.”

According to Times of India, BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia said, “We had a meeting with Pakistan Cricket Board Chief Mohsin Naqvi. The Asia Cup Trophy was not on the agenda of the official meeting, so the ICC arranged a separate meeting with Naqvi. We would like to thank the ICC for making an effort to resolve this dispute. There was a cordial talk between the two sides and both sides want to resolve this issue as soon as possible.”

ICC has banned Pakistani fast bowler Haris Rauf for 2 matches. The ICC match referee panel heard all three matches played in the Asia Cup between India and Pakistan. In this hearing, Haris Rauf was found guilty of Article 2.21 of the ICC Code of Conduct, due to which he has been banned for 2 matches. On the other hand, Suryakumar Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Sahibzada Farhan have also been punished.

Haris Rauf suspended for 2 matches

The first incident happened on 14 September during the India vs Pakistan match. Rauf was fined 30 percent of his match fee and given 2 demerit points. In the Super 6 match, Rauf abused the Indian opening batsmen, Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma and also tried to fight with them. While being trolled by the Indian fans, he made provocative gestures while fielding. This time again he was fined 30 percent of the match fee and 2 demerit points.

Let us tell you that if a player gets 4 demerit points in a span of 24 months, he is banned from one Test or 2 ODIs or 2 T20 matches. Therefore, Haris Rauf has been banned from the first 2 matches of the ODI series against South Africa.

Bumrah and Suryakumar Yadav got punishment

Indian T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav was also found guilty of Article 2.21 of the ICC Code of Conduct, like Haris Rauf. He was also fined 30 percent of the match fee and given 2 demerit points. If Suryakumar Yadav gets two demerits again, he may also have to face suspension along with Haris Rauf.

Sahibzada Farhan was let off with a warning for gun celebration, but also got one demerit point. In response to Haris Rauf, Jasprit Bumrah had made a gesture like dropping a plane. For this he was also let off with a warning, but like Farhan, he too got one demerit point.
