After India’s Exciting Win Against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 Final, Social Media in Pakistan Erupts with Discontent.
India triumphed over Pakistan by five wickets in the Asia Cup 2025 final.
The Asia Cup 2025 wrapped up dramatically as India claimed a five-wicket victory over Pakistan, igniting celebration among Indian fans but revealing deep frustration among Pakistanis over their third consecutive loss to India.
With rising political tension following the recent Pahalgam terror attack, the India-Pakistan match held greater significance. Initially starting strong, Pakistan faced a severe setback, losing nine wickets for just 33 runs during crucial middle overs.
Pakistan’s bowlers showed promise, but Haris Rauf’s performance, conceding 50 runs in 3.4 overs, drew criticism. Key moments like a dropped catch and a missed run out coupled with Tilak Verma’s standout innings of 69 not out from 53 balls turned the tide in favor of India. Social media was flooded with reactions, with many Pakistanis criticizing their team and suggesting that even amateur players could perform better.
“We can’t win against India. It’s a reality,” voiced an upset Pakistani fan. “They are our superiors. Our generation simply cannot compete with them,” he added. Another fan echoed disappointment, admitting, “We had hope today, but their team is undeniably stronger.”
Haris Rauf Faces Criticism
Haris Rauf, who earlier stirred controversy with provocative gestures and subsequently faced a fine, became a target for social media backlash following his lackluster bowling. Cricket analysts noted that his high number of celebrations was overshadowed by his performance as he failed to contribute positively in key matches.
India, despite missing Hardik Pandya and experiencing a shaky start with early wickets, managed to secure victory thanks to key partnerships and solid performances from the middle order.
