Cricket supporters, there’s much to unpack from Pakistan’s recent Asia Cup match against Oman. Of course, a win is a win, but as always, it is not the result that intrigues me most, but rather what’s happening at the top of Pakistan’s batting order. With their latest opening pair, it is what gets some former […]

India vs Pakistan in the Asia Cup—it doesn’t get bigger than this. Forget the hype, forget the promos, the match itself is always a storm of nerves, skill, and split-second decisions. And when former Pakistan speedster Wahab Riaz says, “Haris Rauf has to come back against India,” fans can’t help but sit up and pay […]
When it is India vs Pakistan, nothing is “just another game”. The action, the hype, and all the chatter about who plays and who does not sometimes feels like an extra match before you’ve even started. As for Pakistan, the problem is not one of who plays in the XI, but of how to bring […]
Some players grab headlines for the massive sixes or incredibly crazy celebrations, even then, there are other players like Pathum Nissanka, who just quietly go about scoring runs, and one (like you) thinks, “he’s never going to stop scoring.” After Sri Lanka’s Asia Cup match against Bangladesh, ex-all-rounder Farveez Maharoof stated, “Nissanka is one of […]
The opening match for Bangladesh at the Asia Cup 2025 might not have been a nail-biter on the scorecard, but it provided plenty to ponder. While Litton Das’s half-century took centre stage, it was Towhid Hridoy’s calm and composed 35 that really did the ‘stealing’ of the limelight. In a team of besked (attackers), Hridoy’s […]
If you’ve ever played street cricket with your buddies, you’ll know the feeling: you’re cruising towards victory, plenty of wickets in hand, but suddenly someone shouts, “Come on, let’s finish this quick!” That’s exactly the vibe around Bangladesh’s recent Asia Cup 2025 match. Yes, they picked up the win, which is always the bottom line, […]
If T20 cricket is a drama, then bowlers are the true drama queens. Big sixes make headlines, but it is the men with the leather, the bowler, who finally decides, once and for all, whether the night ends in a ridiculously disappointing loss or uninhibited joy. For Team India, a few players have remained constant- […]
A World Cup is more than bat and ball; it’s about the platform where it all happened. A stadium is not just a stadium, but rather an environment where the drama takes place; a place where the crowd crescendos a moment before silence brings its breath in. With the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 […]
If you’ve ever tuned into a T20I involving Sri Lanka or Bangladesh and had the feeling that the scoreboard was stuck in prolonged slow motion, you’re not alone. For almost a decade, both teams have been racing to the bottom of the T20 international run rate tables. And we’re not referring to a short-term occurrence […]
Every IPL season has that one underrated player who suddenly becomes the hottest property in the auction room. For 2026, that man could very well be Jason Holder. After missing the 2024 T20 World Cup due to injury, the West Indies all-rounder has staged a brilliant comeback in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2025—smashing runs, […]
This innings must have left Pakistan supporters wondering. Because there were things to cheer about. Mohammad Haris dazzled Dubai with a sparkling 66, which gave every indication that this would be the start of something very special, but then, for whatever reason, the rest of the batting line-up only managed to scratch around and sputter, […]
