That’s a wrap from our side as well. We appreciate your participation from all across the world. On behalf of my co-commentator Prince Suman and Scorer/Analyst Ashok Dayma, I, Deepak Prakash, am signing off. Please join us for the other fixtures across the world. Until then, Ta-Ta, Bye-Bye.✌✌✌
Shahid Afridi (Asia Lions Captain): "That collaboration between Misbah and Dilshan was successful. The worst power move was that. To win the competition, we are all present. We sincerely appreciate the crowd's great turnout. I believe I must give the organisers credit. We were able to play this game because they put in a lot of effort. We are here to have fun. When I asked the team members if they wanted to have fun or win the trophy, they said that they wanted to win the competition."
Aaron Finch (World Giants Captain): "He demonstrated his expertise there. We were without a few bowlers. With this track, having just one expert spinner was not optimal. The circumstances were really difficult for batters, especially when it was turning away, and that is what it was all about. A big thank you to the audience for remaining there despite the weather and the performance starting so late, as Misbah mentioned."
Misbah-ul-Haq (Player Of The Match): "I believed that my time in the middle from the previous innings had helped. It was a challenging pitch. I kept stuffing myself with meat to get those sixes. The key was to hit with spin; I was fortunate to have a few overs of the ball spinning into me. On that pitch, it is nearly impossible to hit balls that are spinning. Fortunately, the hits connected."
Misbah-ul-Haq is awarded Player Of The Match.
Sohail Tanvir: "I used to spin with my left arm before I began my international career. The plan was for me to say, "Let's go, I'll bowl spin, too," when they started bowling spinners. The results are good from the hand. I hope everyone is having fun at the competition. I hope the many spectators in Qatar are having fun because the tournament's purpose is to introduce and promote cricket in Qatar."
12:04 AM IST | Deepak: A comprehensive victory for Asia Lions as they hammered World Giants by 35 runs.

In the rain-curtailed match, the Asia Lions were invited to bat first. Despite the limited overs, they managed to post a competitive total of 99 runs thanks to an electrifying innings from Misbah-ul-Haq. The veteran batsman played a sensational knock, smashing 44 runs off just 19 balls to anchor his team's innings and put them in a strong position. From the bowling front, Ricardo Powell, and Collingwood extracted one wicket for World Giants.

The chase of the Asia Lions' formidable total of 99 runs got off to a promising start for the World Giants, with their openers Lendl Simmons and Chris Gayle scoring at a brisk pace. However, their momentum was halted when Gayle fell to the bowling of Afridi in the fifth over, having scored 23 runs off just 16 balls. After that, the World Giants struggled to maintain their momentum, losing wickets at regular intervals and failing to build any meaningful partnerships. In the end, they could only muster 64 runs for the loss of 5 wickets, falling short of their target by 35 runs. While Simmons and Gayle contributed significantly to the score, the rest of the team's batters were unable to reach double digits, resulting in a disappointing performance from the World Giants.

From the bowling front, Shahid Afridi and Abdur Razzak extracted a couple of wickets for Asia Lions, while Sohail Tanvir contributed one wicket.
