India A vs Pakistan A Highlights, ACC Mens Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025: India misfire on all fronts as rivals secure 8-wicket win; Pakistan become first team to reach semis
India A vs Pakistan A Highlights Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025: India A’s campaign at the Asia Cup Rising Stars encountered a serious jolt in Doha as Pakistan Shaheens handed them an emphatic eight-wicket defeat, built on a disciplined bowling effort and a commanding chase led by opener Maaz Sadaqat. The result was particularly surprising considering how strongly India began after being asked to bat, reaching 91 for 3 in just 10 overs and appearing well on course for a total in the region of 175–180.
The early charge was engineered by young prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who continued his blistering form after his record-breaking hundred in the previous match. The 14-year-old left-hander blasted 45 off 28 balls, striking freely through the line, while Naman Dhir provided further momentum with a sharp 35 off 20 balls. However, their dismissals opened the floodgates. Suryavanshi’s wicket proved decisive — a mishit towards long-on where Mohammad Faiq executed a composed catch without touching the boundary ropes, a moment that required multiple replays to confirm.
From that point, Pakistan seized control. Shahid Aziz led the bowling turnaround with 3/24, and both Saad Masood and Maaz Sadaqat picked up two wickets each. India’s middle and lower order faltered badly under pressure, collapsing to 136 all out, losing eight wickets for a mere 35 runs across the final 10 overs.
Pakistan’s response was ruthless. Sadaqat, having earlier dented India with the ball, dominated the chase from the outset. His unbeaten 79 off 47 balls, studded with seven fours and four sixes, set the tone for a virtually one-sided pursuit. He also survived a straightforward drop by Suryavanshi, a miss that only fueled his acceleration. Partnered by steady contributions at the other end, Sadaqat ensured Pakistan reached the target in just 13.2 overs, winning with 40 deliveries to spare.
The commanding victory secured Pakistan Shaheens their second win in as many games and made them the first side to qualify for the semifinals. India A, meanwhile, suffered their first loss of the tournament and were left to regroup after a match where early promise fizzled into an unexpected collapse.

During the India A vs Pakistan Shaheens Rising Stars Asia Cup match in Doha, Pakistani bowler Saad Masood drew attention with an aggressive send-off after dismissing Naman Dhir, a moment that quickly went viral given the rivalry’s intensity. India A, strong at 91/3, collapsed to 136 as Shahid Aziz, Masood, and Maaz Sadaqat triggered a dramatic batting failure. Pakistan chased the target easily, winning by eight wickets with 40 balls to spare. Maaz Sadaqat starred with an unbeaten 79 after earlier taking two wickets. Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s 45 and Dhir’s 35 were India’s highlights before their innings fell apart.

A controversial relay catch during the India A vs Pakistan A match sparked debate after Maaz Sadaqat was given not out due to a recent MCC rule change. Nehal Wadhera caught the ball near the boundary and, while airborne, flicked it back to Naman Dhir, who completed the catch. However, because Wadhera’s first contact after touching the ball occurred outside the boundary, the dismissal was disallowed. The decision allowed Sadaqat to continue his innings, contributing significantly to Pakistan A’s eight-wicket win. The victory secured Pakistan A a comfortable place in the semi-finals and intensified discussions about the updated relay-catch rule.

India A vs Pakistan A Highlights Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025: India A slumped to an unexpected eight-wicket defeat against Pakistan Shaheens in the Asia Cup Rising Stars tournament in Doha, undone by a stunning batting collapse and a clinical chase from the opposition. After opting to bat, India raced to 91 for 3 in the 10th over, powered by a fluent 45 off 28 balls from 14-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi and a brisk 35 off 20 from Naman Dhir. But what looked like a platform for a total close to 180 completely unravelled as Pakistan’s bowlers roared back. Shahid Aziz (3/24), Saad Masood and Maaz Sadaqat (two wickets each) applied sustained pressure, triggering a dramatic slide that saw India lose eight wickets for just 35 runs and get bowled out for 136 in 19 overs.
The turning point arrived when Suryavanshi, in full flow, perished trying to clear the ropes once more. A composed catch by Mohammad Faiq at long-on, confirmed after multiple replays, sparked Pakistan’s resurgence. From that moment, India never recovered.
In reply, the Shaheens made light work of the chase.
Opener Maaz Sadaqat delivered a standout all-round performance, smashing an unbeaten 79 from 47 balls with seven fours and four sixes, having earlier taken two wickets. Despite being given a reprieve when Suryavanshi dropped him, he dominated the Indian attack and sealed the contest with 40 balls remaining. With their second straight win, Pakistan became the first team to enter the semifinals, while India A absorbed their first setback of the tournament.
