"I pray India refuse to play against Pakistan in Asia Cup 2025"…- Basit Ali destroys Mohammad Rizwan & Co. after humiliating loss to West Indies

The India vs Pakistan game in Asia Cup 2025 will be played on September 14.

Former cricketer Basit Ali has lashed out at the Pakistan Cricket Team after their recent humiliating defeat against the West Indies. Ali said that he hopes India will refuse to play against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 as the Men in Blue will beat them in a way fans can’t even imagine.

On Tuesday (August 12), Pakistan faced a shocking defeat by 202 runs against the West Indies in the third ODI. Chasing 295 runs for victory, the Mohammad Rizwan-led side were bowled out for just 92 runs, facing a huge batting collapse.

Caribbean pacer Jayden Seales clinched a six-wicket haul to demolish Pakistan’s batting line-up. After the defeat, the visitors also lost the three-match ODI series 2-1. Notably, the West Indies won an ODI series against Pakistan after a 34-year hiatus, with their last victory having occurred in 1991.

I pray India refuse to play against Pakistan in the Asia Cup: Basit Ali

Speaking on the YouTube channel “The Game Plan”, Basit Ali said that he prays India will refuse to play against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025, so that they don’t face a humiliating defeat against them.

“I pray India refuse to play against Pakistan in the Asia Cup, just like how they did at the World Championships of Legends. India hame Itni buri tarah maarengey na ki aap soch bhi nhi sakte (India will beat us so badly you can’t even imagine),” he said.

“If we lose to Afghanistan, no one would care much in this country. But everyone goes mad the moment you lose to India,” he added.

Notably, India vs Pakistan clash of Asia Cup 2025 will take place on September 14 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. India, Pakistan, Oman and UAE are part of Group A in the tournament.

Moreover, India and Pakistan can play two more games in the tournament during the Super Four stage and the final. Asia Cup 2025 will commence on September 9 in the UAE. The remaining four teams are Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Hong Kong, and Bangladesh, who are part of Group B.

Last month, India Champions had refused to play against Pakistan during the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025- a franchise T20I tournament involving former international players. Former Indian players in Yuvraj Singh, Shikhar Dhawan, Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan, and Yusuf Pathan, backed out of two clashes against Pakistan Champions.
