Pitch Report

Pitch number six. 200 runs were chased down here and then 175 was also defended. Underneath there are some dry areas so spinners will come into play. Visibly looks very good. Fast bowlers will enjoy some swing and seam movement. However batters will enjoy on this surface. The pitch is expected to remain mostly the same for the forty overs.

Commentary

That brings us to the end of our coverage for Asian Legends League 2025. We hope you enjoyed the commentary. It is time for the duo of Darpan Tikiya and Rajarshi Das to wave you goodbye. Keep following Sportskeeda for more sporting action from around the world. Goodbye!

11:59 PM IST | Mehran Khan receives the trophy on the behalf of the team and the fireworks go off. The night sky glitters with iridescent colours and the celebrations from the players are as exuberant as they can get.

Mehran Khan (Asian Stars captain): Can't explain the feeling of being champion. This is one of my biggest achievement of my life, becoming champions of Asian Legends League T20. As a captain, there was a lot of pressure and high expectations. I wanted to lead from the front with the bat. The wicket was good for batting, we restricted them. Our bowlers bowled brilliantly. Had I batted for 6 overs we could have chased it down in 16 overs. I was very disappointed when I got out. I thought the match would go down to the wire. The way both Dhawan brothers played was brilliant. Our combination was the best in the tournament. We batted till nine. There's pressure of a final. Rishi Dhawan, though, didn't let anyone else bat!

Faiz Fazal collects the runners-up trophy.

Faiz Fazal (Indian Royals captain): "Without a doubt, it is a tough pill to swallow. The wicket was very good. We should have scored 180. Thanks to the crowd, they turned up throughout the tournament and supported us. Sorry, we could not win it. Every joint of the body is aching. But it is okay."

Mehran Khan is the Player of the Tournament.

Asghar Afghan gets the "Best Batter" award.

Vikum Sanjaya gets the "Best Bowler" award.

Thisara Perera gets the "Super Sixes" award.

On to the tournament awards now.

Rishi Dhawan has been adjudged Player Of The Match! Here's what he has to say: Feels good being on the winning side. Everyone did a lot of hard work throughout the tournament. We've played a lot of cricket together (brothers). Credit goes to him too, the running between the wickets was good, shot selection was good too. He supported me a lot. When Raghav scored the winning run, that was my favourite moment. Winning moment was the most memorable.

Ishwar Pandey gets the "Striker of the Match" award.

Rishi Dhawan gets the "Catch of the Match" award.

11:46 PM IST | Time for the presentation ceremony.

Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony. We will bring you the quotes from the captains and the prize winners.

11:18 PM IST | Asian Stars win by 6 wickets and are the inaugural champions of the Asian Legends League

Rishi Dhawan 83 (57) & 2/27 (3.5) | Ishwar Pandey 3/31 (4)
Sanjay Singh 57 (29) | Manpreet Gony 1/21 (3)

The city of Nathdwara, that hosted this tournament, has a population of under 50,000. The fact that 30,700 people turned up to the stadium to watch this final is a testimony to the success of this league. After 10 exciting T20 matches over the last 9 days, Asian Stars clinch the title. The celebrations that are unfolding on the park are rhapsodic. The players take a lap of the ground to thank the fans who turned up.

A plethora of renowned names participated in the league. But tonight one man stood tall and left a lasting impression on the minds of the spectators. Rishi Dhawan made an all-round contribution. While, his steadfast knock of 83 (57) is bound to become the talk of the town, it was his bowling that set the tone. He delivered a miserly two-over spell up front, which included 8 dot balls. Ishwar Pandey, who ended with a three-for, reaped the benefits at the other end.

After the Royals' top order was dismissed cheaply, Sanjay Singh impressed one and all with his 29-ball-57. His knock was studded with six fours and three clean sixes. Despite his efforts, the team failed to put on a big total on the board.

However, the beginning of the run chase, was not smooth for Asian Stars by any means. Three wickets fell within the first 7 overs. But then, the Dhawan brothers — Rishi and Raghav — got together and ensured that there were no further hiccups. They stitched together a partnership of 106 runs in just 69 balls. The highlight of the partnership was their calm demeanor and their bustling energy in the running between the wickets. They were helped by a missed stumping by Naman Ojha in the 12th over, While, Ojha did grab the second stumping chance he got, it was already too late by then. Rishi perished in the homestretch, but Raghav stayed right till the end and ultimately hit the winning runs too.

19.1 Yogesh Nagar to Raghav Dhawan, spilled! And the Asian Stars clinch the 2025 Asian Legends League title! Shortish length around middle and off. Raghav Dhawan rocked back, looked to finish this off with a vicious thump, picked out the man close in at cover. The fielder made a mess of the sharp chance, the ball rolled towards mid off and the batters pinched the winning run

Still no Gony. Yogesh Nagar [2-0-14-0] to bowl.

Well, well, well.... Somehow, Indian Royals have dragged this game into the final over. Can they now drag this into a super over?
