The much-anticipated clash between India and Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 lived up to its billing as a high-octane encounter, but it was India who emerged victorious, defeating their arch-rivals by 6 wickets in Dubai. Virat Kohli’s masterful unbeaten century and a disciplined bowling performance from India sealed the win, leaving Pakistan skipper Mohammad Rizwan to ??reflect on where his team fell short. In a candid post-match analysis, Rizwan pinpointed several key reasons for Pakistan’s defeat, offering insig??hts into the challenges his team faced.

Reason 1: The toss advantage that didn’t translate

Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat f??irst, a decision that seemed logical given the conditions. However, Rizwan admitted that his team failed to capitalize on this advantage. Pakistan had aimed for a competitive total of 280 runs on what appeared to be a de??cent batting surface. However, their plans were derailed by India’s disciplined bowling attack, which kept the scoring in check and picked up crucial wickets at regular intervals.

�?em>We won the toss, but we didn’t get the benefit of the toss,�?Rizwan said in the post-match presentation.

The middle overs, in particular, proved to be Pakistan’s undoing. Rizwan acknowledged that the Indian bowlers executed their plans perfectly during this phase, stifling Pakistan’s momentu?m and preventing them from building partnerships.

“In t??he middle overs, their bowlers bowled very well and got our wickets,�?he added, highlighting the pressure that ultimately led to Pakistan being restricted to a below-par tota??l of 240.

Reason 2: Poor shot selection and missed opportunities

One of the most glaring issues for Pakistan were their batting approach, especially in the latter stages of their innings. Rizwan and Saud Shakeel had initially focused on stabilizing the innings, but their efforts were undone by what the skipper described as �?em>wrong, poor shot selection.�?This lack of composure un??der pressure allowed India to tighten their grip on? the game.

Rizwan’s assessment was blunt: �?em>They put us under pressure, and that’s why we were squeezed to 240.�?The inability to accelerate in the death overs and the failure to capitalize on starts cost Pakistan dearly. While Shakeel’s polished fifty and Khushdil Shah’s cameo provided some respite,?? it wasn’t enough to set a challenging target?? for India.

Reason 3: Fielding woes

If batting was one area of concern, fielding was another significant factor that contributed to Pakistan’s defeat. Rizwan didn’t mince words when he addressed the team’s fielding performance. Dropped catches, misfields, and missed run-out opportunities allowed India to ga?in the upper hand. In a high-stakes game like this, such errors can prove costly, and Pakistan paid the price. Rizwan’s emphasis on improving fielding standards underscores the importance of this aspect in modern cricket, where every run saved and every chan?ce taken can make a difference.

�?em>We need to improve in our fielding as well. We did a lot of mistakes in this match and the last match as well,�?he stated.

Reason 4: India’s dominance with bat and ball

While Pakistan’s shortcomings played a role in their defeat, credit must also be given to India for their clinical performance. The Indian bowlers were �?em>stunningly accurate,�?as Rizwan put it, and their ability to maintain pressure throughout the innings was commendable. The likes of Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, and Hardik Pandya kept the Pakistani batters in check, ensuring that the t??arget remained within reach.

Chasing 242, India made the task look effortless, thanks to Kohli’s 51st ODI century and Shreyas Iyer’s composed half-century. Shubman Gill’s brisk start at the top of the order set the tone for the chase, and Kohli’s classy knock ensured there were no hiccups along the way. Rizwan acknowledged the brilliance of the Indian batters, particularly Kohli and Gill, who �?em>took the game far away from us.�?/p>

A wake-up call for Pakistan

With this loss, Pakistan’s chances of progressing further in the tournament have taken a significant hit. As the hosts, the pressure was already on them to perform, and this defeat has exposed several areas that need urgent attention. Rizwan’s candid admission of the team’s shortcomings reflects a willingness to?? learn and improve, but time is running out.

The skipper’s message was clear, Rizwan said �?em>Whenever you lose, it means you didn’t perform in all departments.�?Pakistan’s batting, bowling, and fielding all fell short of the?? mark, and Rizwan’s hope is that the team can address these issues before t?heir next game.

�?em>Hopefully, we can work on them,�?he concluded, emphasizing th?e need fo??r a quick turnaround.

South Africa edged past Pakistan by 11 runs in an exh??ilarating opening T20I of the Pakistan tour of South Africa 2024-25 at Kingsmead, Durban. An all-round performance by George Linde, who claimed four wickets and scored a quick-fire 48, earned him the Player of the Match title??.

South Africa’s power-packed batting performance

Opting to bat first after winning the toss, South Africa had a shaky start, losing Rassie van der Duss??en for a golden duck in the first over. Reeza Hendricks and Matthew Breetzke added minimal contributions, leaving the hosts at 29/3.

David Miller anchored the innings with a scintillating knock of 82 off 40 balls, smashing 4 fours and 8 towering sixes. His partnership with Linde, who contributed 48 runs off just 24 balls, including 3 fours and 4 sixes, was the turning point. The duo combined for a 77-run stand that took the team to a competitive total of 183/9.

Pakistan’s bowlers had mixed results. Shaheen Afridi was the? pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/22, while Abra?r Ahmed also bagged three wickets but was expensive, conceding 37 runs in his four overs. Abbas Afridi chipped in with two crucial wickets, while Haris Rauf and Sufiyan Muqeem struggled to keep the runs in check.

Pakistan falls short in a spirited chase

Chasing 184, Pakistan’s innings began on a disastrous note as skipper Babar Azam was dismissed for a four-ball?? duck. Mohammad Rizwan anchored the innings with a resilient 74 off 62 balls, including 5 fours and 3 sixes, but lacked consistent support from the other end.

Saim Ayub provided an early spark with a blazing 31 off just 15 balls, lacing his knock with 7 boundaries. However, wickets fell at regular intervals, with none of the middle-order batsmen managing to convert their starts. Tayyab Tahir’s 18 off 18 and Shaheen Afridi’s late cameo of 9 off 6 offered fl??eeting hope, but the tar?get remained out of reach.

George Linde was instrumental with the ball, dismantling Pakistan’s middle order with figures of 4/21?? in his four overs. Kwena Maphaka and Ottniel Baartman provided crucial breakthroughs, while Andile Simelane chipped in with a wicket despite being expensive.

Key turning points

• David Miller and George Linde’s partnership: South Africa’s innings revival, driven by their explosive 77-run stand, provided the momentum for a competitive total.
• George Linde’s bowling brilliance: Linde’s exceptional spell not only slowed Pakistan’s scoring but also dismantled their middle order.
• Pakistan’s top-order collapse: The early dismissals of Babar Azam and Saim Ayub’s inability to bat longer proved detrimental to Pakistan’s chase.

With South Africa taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series, Pakistan will aim to bounce back in the second T20I at SuperSport Park, Centurion, on Friday, December 13. Both?? teams will look to address their shortcomings as the series progresses.

What a comeback and what a player he is!!! George Linde absolutely deserves this moment tonight 🔥�?��🔥🔥

In a recent interview with The Indian Express on their YouTube channel, India‘s star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah shared insights into his career and revealed his favourite wicket. During the conversation, Bumrah was asked abou?t the one wicket that brings a smile. Reflecting on his illustrious career, ??there were five significant wickets, each with a special story.

Jasprit Bumrah on his favourite wicket

Bumrah was asked about his five memorable wickets, mentioning the names of  Ollie Pope, Shaun Marsh, Mohammad Rizwan, Ollie Robinson, and Virat Kohli. He was then a??sked which of these wickets was his favourite.

Bumrah took the name of his teammate and former Indian captain, Kohli. Bumrah had picked up this wicket early in his career during the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2013 when he was just 19 years old. In a match between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore, young B?umrah managed to outfox Kohli, marking a significant moment in his budding career.

Reflecting on this, Bumrah said, “I think I will take Virat Kohli; I was 19 years old, still convincing myself that I belong here.”

Question: The one wicket that brings a smile to your face – Pope, Marsh, Rizwan, Robinson, Virat Kohli?

Bumrah has dismissed Kohli five times in 16 IPL innings, with Kohli scoring 140 runs against him. This statistic hig?hlights the intense battles?? between the two Indian cricket stalwarts over the years.

Speaking about his other memorable wickets, the dismissal of England’s  Pope has to be one of the finest. During the series in England in January 2024, Bumrah bow??led Pope with an absol??utely brilliant yorker, showcasing his precision and skill throughout the tour.

Another wicket was of Australia‘s Marsh, whom Bumrah dismissed the Aussie with an lbw during the India Tour of Australia in December 2018. Using a slower delivery, this wicket demonstrated Bumrah’s ability to perform under pressure in foreign conditions.

Next name was Pakistan‘s Rizwan, whose wicket Bumrah took in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. A length ball slanted in, stayed quite low, and went under Rizwan’s bat as he swiped across the line, rattling the off and middle stumps. This crucial dismissal played a pivotal role in India’s victory in a nail-biting match. Another notable wicket Bumrah mentioned was that of England’s Robinson. During India’s tour of England in 2021, specifically in the second Test match at Lord’s, Bumrah trapped Robinson lbw with a slower ball pitched up, hitting Robinson on the back leg.

Bumrah’s recent accolade as the Player of the Tournament in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 further solidifies his status as one of the best bowlers in the world. His exceptional performance in the tournament, where he took 15 wickets in eight matches with an economy rate of 4.17, demonstrated his ability to shine on the global stage.

In the ongoing first Test between Pakistan and South Africa at National Stadium in Karachi, the home team’s wicketkeeper Mohammed Rizwan gained the attention through a spectacular fielding effort to remove Proteas batsman Rassie van der Dussen (17).

The video of the run-out has gone viral on social media. It all happened in the 16th over of South Africa’s first innings bowled by Fahim Ashraf.

Dusan played the ball through the covers and tried to steal a quick single, but Pakistan skipper Babar Azam stormed in and collected the red leather. In the meantime, non-striking batsman Dean Elgar refused to take a single, so van der Dussen had to return back to?? ?the batting end.

However, it was too late as Rizwan picked up Azam’s throw at the right time, displayed acrobatic work and shattered the stumps to ran Dussen out.

Here is the video:

Pakistan bowlers dominate Day 1

After winning the toss on Day 1 of the first Test, Quinton de Kock decided to bat first, but the decision went wrong as Pakistan bowlers completely dominated the proceedings. The touring side kept on losing wickets at regular in?tervals and never rea??lly looked like they were in the game.

Opener Elgar showed some resistance and held his end for a longer time. The left-handed batsman smashed a fifty and scored 58 off 106 deliveries before Nauman Ali sent him back to the pavilion.

Leg-spinner Yasir Shah shined with the ball for the hosts. He claimed three wickets in 22 overs for 54 runs. Apart from Yasir, Nauman and Shaheen Afridi picked up a couple while Hasan Ali bagged one wicket.

In the first innings, South Africa were bundled out for 220 ?in 69.2 overs.
