Matches Posted 2024/25 Asian Champions League | Final - Peshawar Panthers elected to Bat first

[Na Maloom Afraad]

Nah man, after that opening wicket ambush, we didn't stand a chance. Did well to set a defendable total, but without Bumrah and Naseem among our ranks, even the defendable total wasn't all that defendable if we didn't bowl well. Cummins has been a bit of bust with the ball all tournament, and Asitha didn't do too well either.

Congratulations to Rajasthan, and to Peshawar as well. Their meeting in the final is going to be truly special.

 

[Aravind.]

I just wanted a final like Finalissima, where I will be happy whether Goat wins or Barca Boys wins it, but it seems CR7 (RR) spoiled it by entering the Final.

​

 

[Gaurav_7]

Yes, clinical, absolutely clinical! After their batting, I thought this will be a stiff chase but thankfulky the pitch stayed true throughout the match and our opening pair set the tone for us. Karun Nair missed out but all other batters cobtributed evenly which is what pleases me the most.

One more to go, and as I said the win here will be a perfect console for the heartbreak in the IODC finale and this team deserves every bit of it! Hopefully we do it here.

Going same. I feel that's our best XI for even pitch with 3 Asian players & a inform Aussie (Kohli, Iyer, Kuldeep & Mitch Marsh) as overseas players, who knows the conditions well.

It's our last game, as our team has been dismantled for the need of new Pakistani league. We're one of the consistent top performing team, so either win or lose, we cannot control that to an extent in a final, I am proud to manage Peshawar in all my leagues, whether I have team banner, supporting them or not, but here they will be always my team in all Pakistani leagues. Go well lads.

Chris Woakes ^
Kagiso Rabada ^
Karn Sharma ^
Varun Chakravarthy ^

The conditions will be even so Stoinis sits out as Woakes will share the new ball with Rabada which I feel will add much more balance to the side.

Our batsmen should be able to negate Shaheen Afridi as they have faced him in the nets a lot and know all his tricks so hopefully we have him covered here.

Peshawar are a strong side and it will be a cracker of a final! One game now, just one win! Come on guys!

It was doom and gloom early on as the Panthers crumbled to 72/5 inside 18 overs — Woakes struck twice, including the huge wicket of Kohli.
At that stage, 200 looked a long way off.

But then came the rescue act.

Shreyas Iyer and Mohammad Haris stitched together a sensational 168-run stand, dragging Peshawar out of trouble and breathing life into their innings.
Iyer fell heartbreakingly on 99, but Haris batted through to the end with a calm, composed 83*.

Stokes broke the partnership and kept things tight at the death, but Peshawar will be pleased with 262 on a good pitch.

It’s over to Rajasthan now — can they chase this under pressure, or will Peshawar’s turnaround story find its perfect ending?

Target: Rajasthan Royals need 263 runs to win

[Aravind.]

Runs on the board, without Shreyas Iyer and Mohammad Haris, it would be match over now, we have the bowlers to defend this, let's see.

 

[Gaurav_7]

We allowed them to getaway after that dreamy start. Woakes was sensational! So was Rabada. Chakravarthy went for a few but Iyer and Haris played well so credit to them.

We faltered in IODC final while chasing such a score but I am positive we will get over the line here! Let's do it!

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

I'd say it's evenly poised with the slightest of edges to Rajasthan due to the sheer depth in their batting. Early wickets from Shaheen and Kuldeep's spell in the middle could be a difference maker though.
