PAK A vs BAN A
In a pulsating finale of the Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025, Pakistan A emerged victorious in a nail-biting super over against Bangladesh A, lifting their third title in the history of the tournament. After posting a modest total of 125 in their 20 overs, courtesy of some disciplined bowling by the Bangladesh A attack, Pakistan A looked under pressure but their bowlers ensured they stayed in the hunt.
The chase started positively for Bangladesh A, but the pressure of a final on a tricky, gripping surface soon told. Pakistan A’s spinners exploited the conditions brilliantly, triggering a major collapse as Bangladesh A slumped from 22/0 to 53/7. Early wickets fell in quick succession, with Rakibul Hasan and Ripon Mondol playing pivotal roles with the ball. Mondol’s death-over magic, including a sensational triple strike in the 18th over, left Pakistan A on the brink but ultimately handed them control of the contest.
Despite the carnage, Rakibul Hasan’s counterattacking innings, which included three consecutive boundaries in the 12th over, gave Bangladesh A a glimmer of hope. However, the required run rate and mounting pressure saw them falter in the final overs, setting the stage for a dramatic super over.
In the super over, Pakistan A held their nerve under immense pressure to clinch the title. Their experience in handling high-pressure situations and smart tactical execution proved decisive. Bangladesh A fought valiantly but could not match Pakistan A’s composure in the final delivery of the tournament.
This victory not only added a third Asia Cup Rising Stars trophy to Pakistan A’s cabinet but also showcased the depth of their emerging talent, emphasizing their strong cricketing structure. Bangladesh A, while disappointed, displayed moments of brilliance, especially Rakibul Hasan, whose knock hinted at a promising future for the nation’s cricketing pipeline.
Pakistan A’s triumph reinforced their dominance in the tournament over the years, highlighting the competitive spirit and skill of Asia’s next generation of cricketing stars.
