India has completed its third victory against the arch-Soupers of Pakistan in Asia Cup, this time on Sunday in the final and raised its ninth title, while Rauf again attacked the most.

Instead, 50 runs left for just 3.5 overs and admitted the winning runs on Rinka Singh and sealed the Indian crown. Wasim Akram spoke to the official broadcasters after the match and criticized Rauf for admitting so many runs on such a great opportunity and emphasizing his repeated struggles against India.

“Unfortunately, it is a running machine as a pitch, and especially against India. I do not criticize it. The whole country criticizes it and does not play a cricket with a red ball. It will not improve. If it does not play, you do not want the player in your team who refuses to play the red Ball cricket.
“There is no control because there is no cricket with a red ball. PCB has to sit down and think if you don’t play a red ball cricket, thank you very much,” he added.
Rauf supported Akram’s claims and admitted 231 runs in seven T20i against India on average 25.66 and an economic rate of 8.66. His catastrophic charm against India in this Asia Cup finals joined only his list of forgotten performances in these accessories, including the T20 T20 World Championship, when Virt Kohli was aimed at Rauf, and attached 15 runs in 19th and paved the 160-run of India.
“Do you want to improve your length and its running the smallest. I spoke to Waqar (Youenis) and asked how it did not run for the last four or five years of playing?
Cut at the final of the Asia Cup 2025, it was Tilak Verma and Shivam Dube, who attacked Rauf and hit him at 17 runs at 15. Via, which changed the skin of the game. From the need of 64 out of 36, India now required 47 out of 30. Via, Rauf admitted 13 runs, canceling the efforts of Shaheen Afridi, who admitted only 6 runs in the previous. The last blow came last when India needed to win 10 runs; Six of Tilak Verma and the border of Rink Singh, who came after Duba’s release, ended the game and secured the Indian Ninth Asia Cup.
