DUBAI – Another high-stakes Pakistan-India clash ended in disappointment as India beat their arch-rivals by seven wickets in the Asia Cup 2025. The match took place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, where Pakistan’s batting lineup collapsed under pressure.
The Green Shirts could only manage 127 runs in their allotted 20 overs. India chased the target with ease, reaching it in just 15.5 overs. The result left Pakistani fans disheartened and sparked intense debate online.
Following the defeat, thousands of supporters turned to social media. Many shifted the conversation from cricket to national pride, recalling May’s conflict when Islamabad claimed to have downed six Indian fighter jets. Timelines quickly filled with the slogan “6-0,” which trended across platforms.
“Our real national game is downing Indian jets. 6-0 forever,” one user wrote. Another commented, “The skies remember the score — not the cricket ground.” For many fans in Pakistan, humour became a coping mechanism after the loss.
Memes flooded online spaces, with users reminding Indian fans that the rivalry extended beyond cricket. Some posts read: “Relax, this isn’t war. You already know the real result: 6-0.”
On the field, there were few positives for Pakistan. Sahibzada Farhan achieved a small milestone by becoming the first Pakistani to hit Jasprit Bumrah for a six. However, Saim Ayub suffered a setback, recording his seventh T20I duck, equaling an unwanted record held by Babar Azam, Mohammad Hafeez, and Kamran Akmal.
This defeat adds to Pakistan’s ongoing cricket challenges. While the team struggled on the pitch, its fans found comfort in national narratives and online humour. The Pakistan-India rivalry continues to fuel both sporting passion and patriotic sentiment, proving it is more than just a game.
