India could face Pakistan at ACC Asia Cup Rising Stars Final as semi-final fixtures get confirmed

-

The semi-final stage is set for the ACC Men’s Asia Cup Rising Stars. After 12 entertaining fixtures that featured some of the best upcoming talents of Asia, four teams – India A, Pakistan A, Bangladesh A and Sri Lanka A – have ended up in the final four. Formerly known as the ACC Emerging Asia Cup, the continental tournament is crucial for giving budding cricketers a great platform.

India A vs Pakistan A at the Asia Cup final?

As far as the marquee India A vs Pakistan A fixture goes, we can have that in the final. Earlier this year, fans witnessed a thrilling trilogy of India vs Pakistan matches at the senior Asia Cup 2025, where India ended up on the winning side. While the outside drama took the center stage, India won the Asia Cup unbeaten under Suryakumar Yadav. Unfortunately, it can’t happen with Jitesh Sharma’s India A, as they lost their group stage to Pakistan A.

Pakistan A completely mauled India A in the group stages, winning the encounter with 8 wickets and 40 balls to spare. Maaz Sadaqat’s all-round performance (79* & 2/12) proved too much for the IPL stats. But now, India A could have a crack at their rivals once more if both teams manage to win their semi-final games.

We will have the two semi-finals on November 21. At 3:00 PM IST, India A and Bangladesh A will face each other before a great Pakistan A vs Sri Lanka A clash takes place at 8:00 PM IST. The final is set to be played on November 23, Sunday.

Tim David proves he’s best IPL 2025 auction buy by RCB, saves them from embarrasement

With nine wickets down for just 64, Royal Challengers Bengaluru were staring down the barrel of humiliation. In a rain-shortened 14-over clash against Punjab Kings at the Chinnaswamy, the memories of their infamous 49 all-out threatened to resurface. But Tim David had other plans. His unbeaten 50 off 26 balls wasn’t just a rescue act—it was a declaration. Tim David’s best IPL knock On a night when RCB’s other ten batters combined for just 44 runs, David stood tall to hammer 50 runs off 26 alone. Remember he was picked up for just Rs 3 crore at the IPL 2025 mega auction! Bargain stuff. The surface wasn’t easy, and Punjab’s bowlers made life tougher. Marco Jansen and Yuzvendra Chahal bowled unchanged spells, choking RCB’s top and middle order with smart variations. The scoreboard read 36/5 at one point, with batters falling to mistimed slogs and mistreated short balls. But amid the chaos, David brought calm and calculation. RCB were 74/9 when David took strike for the final over. Wha...
