Salman Ali Agha received and threw away the runner-up check: The Asia Cup 2025 proved to be a disappointing tournament for the Pakistan cricket team. Pakistan suffered three defeats throughout the tournament, all three of which came against India. This performance once again demonstrated Pakistan's dominance in Asia.

The defeat against India in the Asia Cup 2025 final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium clearly disappointed captain Salman Ali Agha. His frustration was compounded by the fact that all three of Pakistan's losses in the tournament were against India.
