Shaheens vs Bangladesh A ||| FINAL ||| Asia Cup Rising Stars | Doha | 23rd Nov 2025

[Munna]

Both semi-finals were close games so I hope we get a good Final today.

Exciting Shaheens team with so many promising youngsters who I hope make it to the national team sooner rather than later. They have been really good so far and remain the only unbeaten team in this tournament.

Maaz Sadaqat has looked phenomenal as an opener with some good bowling performances from Sufyan Muqeem & Saad Masood here and there.

Chalo... mindless running on the very first ball of the match.

Yasir run out for 0

 

[Munna]

Damn Shaheens turning out to be just like their senior pros... bottling it up in a big game

25/3 now in 4.1 ov

 

[Munna]

40/3 at the end of powerplay

 

[Munna]

Chalo maaz bowled as well.

Inexperience on display on a tough track that's assisting spinners

 

[Munna]

Saad Masood with back-to-back useful innings.

But it would be his bowling that's needed more tonight

 

[Munna]

Saad Masood is a Pindi boy, did well in PJL first and then has had some good performances in domestic cricket.

Unforunately, he was picked by IU last year where he was wasted big time.

Now doing decent here

 

[Munna]

Arafat Minhas

Shabba boys need more couple of quick wkts

 

[Munna]

SUFYAAN!!

Bangbros stung and stunned at 44/4

 

[Munna]

5 DOWNNN!!!

They still need 78 off 72

 

[ASLI-PATHAN]

What a spell by Sufiyaan

 

[ASLI-PATHAN]

Rakibul is dangerous

 

[Munna]

Arafat, Maaz and Sufyan have bowled phenomenally well so far.

 

[ASLI-PATHAN]

Need his wicket

 

[ASLI-PATHAN]

Very poor over by Saad

 

[ASLI-PATHAN]

Missed a run out now

 

[ASLI-PATHAN]

That was clearly OUT the umpire didn't gave

 

[Munna]

Sufyaan messed up the run out chance and on top of that umpiring has been biased against us throughout

 

[ASLI-PATHAN]

It is run a ball Bangladesh is favorite

 

[Munna]

These guys need to control their nerves, esp Sufyan who looks to be very temperamental when things don't go his way

 

[ASLI-PATHAN]

Good over by Daniyal

 

[Munna]

ACC such a competent organization, they didn't even let the hosts have their team play in this tournament

 

[Munna]

Daniyal strikes... huge wicket

 

[Munna]

Faiq you useless PDP jobber, dropped a sitter now after failing miserably with the bat in 2 games

 

[Munna]

Bhai ye umpire andha hai kia?? Lmao

 

[Munna]

Even the other umpire wasn't in mood of giving a plumb lbw now... lol

 

[ASLI-PATHAN]

Shahid Aziz had lost this game for us.

 

[Munna]

Getting hit for 40+ runs in a low scoring game... what a jobber

 

[ASLI-PATHAN]

No. 10 & 11 are hitting him for fun

 

[Patriot]

Haris Rauf tribute by Aziz

 

[Munna]

Bengali fans left the stadium long back, but Shahid Aziz made sure their tickets are not wasted

 

[Patriot]

just target the stumps

 

[Munna]

3 off 2

 

[Patriot]

 

[Munna]

Let shahid aziz bowl it lol

 

[ASLI-PATHAN]

Super over

 

[Patriot]

 

[ASLI-PATHAN]

Bangali tailenders played well Lanat on Shahid Aziz
