Asia Cup final, India vs Pakistan: What happened last time arch-rivals met in a major T20I final?

Controversy unfolded in the final Asia Cup 2025 Super Four clash on Friday (Sep 26) after Sri Lanka batter Dasun Shanaka was given not out against India. Playing at the Dubai International Stadium in the final Super Four contest, a controversial decision took centre stage before the match headed into a Super Over as both teams finished with 202 runs. India would later win the Super Over to maintain their unbeaten run.<h2>Shanaka run out controversy explained</h2>On the fourth ball of the Super Over, Sri Lanka batter Dasun Shanaka flicked a ball going down the leg, which was caught by Sanju Samson. Indian bowler Arshdeep Singh appealed for a caught-behind while Shanaka (at striker’s end) and Kamindu Mendis (non-striker’s end) ran to get a run. However, it was during this time that Samson’s direct hit saw Shanaka fall short and was on the verge of being run out. However, at the same phase of play, Arshdeep’s appeal for a caught-behind went in his favour and the batter was dismissed out.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/cricket-women-s-odi-world-cup-2025-all-you-need-to-know-about-indian-women-s-team-schedule-squad-fixtures-and-more-1758556378933">ALSO READ | Women's ODI World Cup 2025: All you need to know about Indian women's team schedule, squad, fixtures and more</a>&nbsp;However, that decision was challenged by the batter, upon which he was given not out. Since the first appeal stood, the later phase of play, which was the run out, was called dead, meaning Shanaka’s dismissal was void and he survived.<h2>Here's what the law says</h2>According to the MCC laws, a ball is declared dead as soon as it reaches the gloves of the wicketkeeper or when a batter is dismissed. The delivery is deemed dead from the instant of the incident leading to the dismissal.&nbsp;ALSO READ | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/5-players-with-most-runs-in-women-s-odi-world-cup-history-debbie-hockley-mithali-raj-janette-brittin-charlotte-edwards-suzie-bates-1757606297874">From Mithali Raj to Janette Brittin, 5 players with most runs in Women's ODI World Cup history</a><h2>What happened in the match?</h2>Despite being a dead-rubber contest, Sri Lanka and India gave a good account with the latter set to play in Sunday’s showdown clash.

Indian bowler Arshdeep Singh appealed for a caught-behind while Shanaka (at striker’s end) and Kamindu Mendis (non-striker’s end) ran to get a run. However, it was during this time that Samson’s direct hit saw Shanaka fall short and was on the verge of being run out. However, at the same phase of play, Arshdeep’s appeal for a caught-behind went in his favour and the batter was dismissed out.

Since the first appeal stood, the later phase of play, which was the run out, was called dead, meaning Shanaka’s dismissal was void and he survived. Here's what the law says According to the MCC laws, a ball is declared dead as soon as it reaches the gloves of the wicketkeeper or when a batter is dismissed. The delivery is deemed dead from the instant of the incident leading to the dismissal.

Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka was given the Player of the Match for his excellent 107 off 58.

Playing his 104th game for Bayern, Harry Kane became the fastest man to 100 goals with a club in Europe's top-five leagues, breaking the record of 105 matches jointly held by Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland.

Harry Kane scored twice to reach 100 goals for Bayern Munich on Friday as the German champions continued their perfect start to the Bundesliga season with a 4-0 win over Werder Bremen. Playing his 104th game for Bayern, Kane became the fastest man to 100 goals with a club in Europe's top-five leagues, breaking the record of 105 matches jointly held by Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland. The England striker is averaging two goals a game in the current Bundesliga campaign. "It's crazy even for me to be honest. It's an honour to reach 100 goals for this great club and to do it so quickly is something I'm really proud of," Kane told Sky Germany.

"I always remind people to look at his defensive work and how much he tracks back as well. He's broken this record but he's done so while giving so much to the team," said the Belgian. Bayern celebrated the first weekend of Oktoberfest in style as a brace from Kane and goals from Jonathan Tah and Konrad Laimer saw them claim their fifth win in five league games. Kane had two early chances to score as he and Michael Olise carved through the Bremen defence in the opening minutes. He skewed the first chance wide and was denied on the second by Arsenal loanee and Bundesliga debutant Karl Hein in the Bremen goal. Tah gave Bayern the lead on 22 minutes, flicking in an elegant backheel off Luis Diaz's knee after a fizzing cross from Olise. The visitors were looking to hit Bayern on the break, but became increasingly fenced into their own penalty area as the first half progressed. Kane struck just before the break, drawing a foul from Marco Friedl in the box and slotting the penalty coolly into the bottom corner.

Ace Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah was involved in a Twitter banter with former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif over the pacer's new bowling role under Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy during the Asia Cup 2025. It all started when Kaif made a cricketing observation on how Bumrah has been used differently in the tournament. He pointed out that Bumrah has been bowling three overs upfront in the powerplay, instead of saving some for the death overs.&nbsp;According to Kaif, this could be risky for India, especially in crucial matches like the Asia Cup final against Pakistan. Kaif said that during Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, Bumrah usually bowled in the 1st, 13th, 17th, and 19th overs. However, under Surya’s leadership, he is finishing most of his spell early in the innings.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Bumrah under Rohit would generally bowl overs 1, 13, 17, 19. Under Surya, in Asia cup, he bowled a three-overs spell at the start.

He warned that this strategy could make things easier for opponents in the final overs. Bumrah didn’t stay silent. He replied sharply on X with a four-word post: “Inaccurate before, inaccurate again” along with a thumbs-up emoji. His response quickly went viral.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Inaccurate before inaccurate again 👍🏾 <a href="https://t.co/knkjXOGOKb">https://t.co/knkjXOGOKb</a>&mdash; Jasprit Bumrah (@Jaspritbumrah93) <a href="https://twitter.com/Jaspritbumrah93/status/1971208332682854828?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 25, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Now, Kaif has responded to Bumrah’s comment, calling it a simple cricket observation, not a criticism. In a message on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “Please take this as a cricketing observation from a well-wisher and an admirer. You are India cricket’s biggest match-winner, and I know what it takes to give it all when on the field wearing India colours.” Kaif also praised Bumrah, calling him a key asset and India's biggest match-winner.

So far in Asia Cup 2025, Bumrah has taken five wickets in four matches. He is also part of the upcoming Test series against the West Indies. Earlier this year, Kaif had hinted that Bumrah might eventually retire from Tests due to fitness concerns.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot said on Friday (Sep 26) that teenaged Italian defender Giovanni Leoni would be sidelined for up to a year after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury during his debut. The 18-year-old, who joined the Premier League champions from Parma last month in a deal worth an initial £26 million ($35 million), was injured during the Reds' 2-1 League Cup win against Southampton on Tuesday.&nbsp;"He's not in a good place, of course, because he tore his ACL, which means that he will be out for around a year," Slot said ahead of Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace. "Being so young, coming to a new country, playing so well in your first game.&nbsp;"He's still so young so he has so many years still to go after he recovers from a terrible injury like that."&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/former-barcelona-legend-sergio-busquets-confirms-football-retirement-after-mls-season-lionel-mess-1758861193843">SHOCKING!

The 18-year-old, who joined the Premier League champions from Parma last month in a deal worth an initial £26 million ($35 million), was injured during the Reds' 2-1 League Cup win against Southampton on Tuesday.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot said on Friday (Sep 26) that teenaged Italian defender Giovanni Leoni would be sidelined for up to a year after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury during his debut. The 18-year-old, who joined the Premier League champions from Parma last month in a deal worth an initial £26 million ($35 million), was injured during the Reds' 2-1 League Cup win against Southampton on Tuesday. "He's not in a good place, of course, because he tore his ACL, which means that he will be out for around a year," Slot said ahead of Saturday's trip to Crystal Palace. "Being so young, coming to a new country, playing so well in your first game. "He's still so young so he has so many years still to go after he recovers from a terrible injury like that."
