In a thrilling Super-4 clash of the Asia Cup 2025, Abhishek Sharma delivered a stellar performance, leading India to a dominant victory over Pakistan. Sharma’s aggressive batting, marked by a six off the first ball, set the tone for his innings. He smashed a rapid half-century, scoring 74 runs and putting significant pressure on the Pakistani bowlers. Sharma’s blistering 50 came off just 24 balls, making him the fastest Indian to achieve this milestone against Pakistan in a T20 International. This achievement ended a 13-year gap, with Virat Kohli being the last Indian batter to score a fifty against Pakistan in T20Is. India chased down Pakistan’s total of 171/5 in 18.5 overs, with contributions from Shubman Gill and Tilak Verma, securing their second consecutive win against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025.
