T20 Asia Cup 2022

In soccer the board would be punished/fined/banned for 'failing to control their fans'. Why not in cricket? Afghan fans are always causing trouble - they did the same in 2019 WC at Headingley iirc.

If only the Afghans bothered to fight like that last year when the Taliban rolled into town hey 😂

A shame because the game itself was an absolute classic. Been a great tournament this so far.

^ Looked at some of that guys other tweets. Typical mega Indian nationalist delighting in any opportunity to blame Pakistanis for something.

Every other tweet and report I've seen suggests it was the Afghans to blame. And they have form for it.

Yeah dude refers to the Sikh minority as "Khalistanis" so you know what to expect from a guy of his kind.

Very embarrassing stuff. Shameless stuff and this is exactly why no one likes Afghanistan. Although the players like Rashid Khan, Nabi and many others are so nice.

Afghanistan fans are worst in the world, that's exactly why I never support Afghanistan, even though I usually like underdogs.

And dont worry about Indian media SZ, they can drop to any low.

Overall was a very competitive Asia Cup tournament. Some controversy in the PAK-AFG game shouldn't dampen the overall vibe. Hopefully the world cup will be good as well.

Congratulations to SL on winning the Asia Cup!! What an unbelievable performance! Who would have picked them as the winners at the start of the tournament, especially after that 1st game?!

Incredible turnaround. Goes to show how much you can achieve when you believe.

Pakistan have an incredibly good pace attack, it will get even stronger with Shaheen coming back but their batting middle order is literally non existent. They just rely so so heavily on Rizwan and Babar. Then their fielding is extremely ordinary. It probably cost them the title today.

Superb stuff from SL. I guess Bangladesh didn't do that badly running them and Afghanistan close.

Seems like we really are in a golden era of pace bowling these days.

Going back to 90s cricket? Every side can beat any other side on their day again

Bodes well. Can't wait for the real Asia Cup next year! Should be a riveting contest.

Pakistan will be gutted. They had the trophy in their pocket having SL at 56/5, batting first. I mean what else can you ask for?

Whenever Pakistan are termed as favts they find a way to lose and vice versa.

Bowling attack is tooo one dimensional. They need 2 of Shaheen, Naseem and Rauf to really fine-tune their death bowling skills. Ditto India tbh. But more than that, its the middle order batting. Should have fought harder

I'm fine with Pakistan's bowling, they've got serious pace and I'm ok even if the don't have those slower ball variations.

Middle order is non existent. They desperately need some batters to step up.
