00:00Assalam-o-Alaikum. Good afternoon. Namaskar. Satsriyakaal to all the gorgeous and beautiful people around the world.
00:07The Asia Cup, when it started two weeks ago, Sri Lanka had a startling start toward Pakistan.
00:14But these two mighty teams have made it to the Asia Cup finals.
00:18And to discuss about their journey and tomorrow's finals, I have two legends.
00:22First from Sri Lanka, I have Angelo Matthews. Angie, welcome to the show.
00:25Thank you. Thanks. Thanks, Anish.
00:28And another legend who was incidentally the bowling coach of Afghanistan and has been the star of Pakistan bowling,
00:34Omar Gul. Assalam-o-Alaikum and welcome to the show.
00:37Walaikum-as-salam. Thank you so much, Anish bhai.
00:40You know, I have to tell with a lot of conviction, this is the first time I have two legends on my show.
00:45And it gives me so much of pleasure of having you.
00:47So I hope this is going to be a cracking show.
00:49The teams will play on the field, but off the field, you two guys have to make sure that your team wins.
00:54Alright? Are you ready for it?
00:57Absolutely. Absolutely.
00:58Alright. So let me first go to the team which won the match yesterday, the dress rehearsal.
01:04That is Sri Lanka. Angelo, when we started this tournament, you know, Sri Lanka had that stuttering start, as you said.
01:10But then, things have turned around with that win against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka has not looked back.
01:15Tell me in actual, what did Sri Lanka do right, apart from winning the toss?
01:19Yeah, I think, you know, starting the tournament, no one would have thought that Sri Lanka would reach the final.
01:26And that is, that was a plus point to us because we had no pressure.
01:33I mean, we just had to go out there and enjoy the occasion.
01:37And once you peak at the right time, which we have done, I think, it's just, you know, you go out there, consistently do your thing.
01:48And when you start winning, winning becomes a habit.
01:51And we have seen the boys playing so well against the big teams as well.
01:57India, Pakistan and obviously, Afghanistan, they beat us in the first round.
02:03And it was a fantastic effort. I think the boys are on a roll.
02:06And I am vouching for them to win tomorrow.
02:09Fantastic. That's what Angie says, that the boys are doing well.
02:13And he is vouching for them to win tomorrow.
02:15Umar Gul, you are back home, I believe.
02:19Yeah.
02:20So, I want to know, like Pakistan also lost their first game and the way they came back, you know, with wins over Hong Kong.
02:27And then they beat India, they beat Afghanistan in that cliffhanger.
02:31And unfortunately, they had that loss in the dress rehearsal.
02:34But what do you, did you see the change?
02:36Why did Pakistan or why, what is the reason Pakistan have made it to the finals?
02:41I think first of all, it's the beauty of cricket.
02:44You never know what's going to happen in the game.
02:48But on the day, especially in the shortened version, the team who perform on the day well and they take the pressure.
02:58So, I think that they win.
03:00So, I think the Pakistan, best thing is Pakistan did the top order, Rizwan and Babar.
03:06Babar, unfortunately, couldn't perform that one that much as all the Pakistani fans were expecting.
03:13But otherwise, like Rizwan is in good form.
03:16And the good thing is the pacers, they are performing very well for Pakistan.
03:21And especially the one man Nawaz and Shadab, they are performing with the both, bat and ball.
03:28So, I think it's a good sign for Pakistan, for Pakistan cricket.
03:34Like all the people, they were hoping and expectation from the both.
03:40Like Nawaz in the past, he has a good history in domestic cricket.
03:43He can bat top of the order.
03:45And the other side, Shadab, he made already his name as a good all-rounder.
03:50So, I think that is the plus point.
03:52And if you see the weaker side, I think Pakistan middle order should perform.
04:00You can't rely on Babar or Rizwan every time.
04:05But I think the middle order, they should perform.
04:07And then they have a good chance to win a match or win the final.
04:12So, I think, yeah, bowlers are doing great.
04:15But I think, again, responsibility on the batsmen.
04:19Alright.
04:20You know, we are not going to have a normal chat show this time.
04:22We are going to have a fun chat show when we have two legends on the show.
04:26As I said, you know, on the field, the boys are going to play.
04:29And off the field, the big boys are going to play.
04:32So, we are going to play a competition between two of you, alright?
04:35And there are no prizes for winning.
04:37Who is going to win? Who is going to lose?
04:38It's just that we want to have some fun on the show.
04:40So, first, let me go to Angelo, okay?
04:42I think he is going to win and get a prize.
04:49That's a good one.
04:50So, Angelo, first to you, okay?
04:55Who is going to take the wicket of Babar Azam tomorrow from Sri Lanka?
04:59Okay.
05:02Mahesh Deeksana.
05:04So, Angelo says it's going to be Mahesh Deeksana who is going to take the big wicket of Babar Azam.
05:10Umar Gul, my question to you.
05:12We know the two openers of Sri Lanka are firing.
05:14One is Kusal.
05:15And one is, we are talking about Patun.
05:18But I am going to talk about Kusal because this is Angelo's favourite player.
05:21And who has said that he is the guy who is going to make a lot of runs.
05:24So, who is going to take the wicket of Kusal from Pakistan's side?
05:28I think Hasnain.
05:30Okay.
05:31You are talking about Mohammad Hasnain.
05:33He is going to take the wicket of Kusal.
05:34So, we remember this, guys.
05:35Tomorrow, when we know the results, we will know who is the winner.
05:38Who has predicted it right.
05:40So, Umar, he already got him once, Umar.
05:43He already got him once.
05:44So, he is not going to get him twice.
05:47No, the thing is, Angelo…
05:50The thing is, behind Hasnain, because he is quick, lethal and he is getting a little bit bounced.
05:56And the other thing is, he likes to bowl a bit hard length.
06:04So, and Kusal on the other side.
06:06Kusal loves to hit the back of length.
06:08So, it might be a top edge and somebody can catch it in the circle.
06:14So, let's hope for that.
06:15It happens for Pakistan's sake.
06:17You know, from Angie, I want to know who is going to be the highest scorer from Pakistan tomorrow?
06:23Pakistan?
06:25Yep.
06:27I would say, Rhys Vaughan again.
06:30Rhys Vaughan.
06:31Alright.
06:32I am not surprised.
06:33I knew it was going to come.
06:34But that's what Angelo Matthews says.
06:35Umar, from Sri Lankan side, who is going to score the highest runs?
06:39From Sri Lankan side?
06:43I am a bit worried about Kusal Mendes.
06:45Because he is a good…
06:47He is in good form.
06:49And I like him very much.
06:51And he is a good guy.
06:53So does Angelo Matthews.
06:54So, you are backing Angelo Matthews.
06:56That he is going to be the star.
06:58Alright, we will have to see.
07:00So, we have now…
07:02Like Angelo said, it's going to be Muhammad Rizwan.
07:05Umar Gul says, it's going to be Kusal.
07:07Who is going to be the highest wicket-taker from Pakistan?
07:12Angelo, for you.
07:15Highest wicket-taker.
07:17Okay.
07:18For the finals.
07:20Shahdaab.
07:22Alright.
07:24Who is going to be the highest wicket-taker?
07:26I think, Hasaranga.
07:28Hasaranga.
07:30Well, no prizes for guessing.
07:32He was the man of the match yesterday.
07:34Okay, now one common question for both of you.
07:36One common question.
07:38Of course, different answers.
07:40Who is going to be the man of the match?
07:42I am sure you will have your own teams.
07:44Who is going to be the man of the match tomorrow, Anji?
07:47Kusal Mendes.
07:49Alright.
07:51Umar Gul, who is going to be the man of the match?
07:52As Angelo said, Rizwan will be the highest scorer.
07:56So, I will go with Rizwan then.
07:58That's lovely.
08:00Now, we have all seen tosses win matches in Dubai.
08:02Who is going to win the toss tomorrow, Anji?
08:08See, we have won about four in a row.
08:12So, the law of averages says what?
08:15I hope Dasun wins the toss.
08:17Okay.
08:19So, you hope and you want Dasun to win the toss.
08:21Okay.
08:23Umar, who is going to win the toss tomorrow?
08:25I guess one of the captains.
08:27Both of them.
08:29You have to tell me.
08:31It's going to be Babar or it's going to be Dasun?
08:33Definitely, I hope and I wish that Babar wins the toss.
08:39Okay, my last question.
08:41Angelo, who is going to win the match?
08:43Who is going to win the finals tomorrow?
08:45Sri Lanka.
08:47Sri Lanka.
08:49No prizes for guessing that.
08:51Who is going to win the match tomorrow?
08:53If Babar wins the toss, then most probably…
08:57No, you can't say if Babar wins the toss.
08:59You have to say who is going to win the match.
09:01Pakistan.
09:03But I am so happy for both the teams that they are playing in the finals.
09:06Well, that's the beauty of this game.
09:08Two brilliant teams who have made it to the finals.
09:10And two brilliant analysis.
09:12Two brilliant legends have made their causes right.
09:14We will have to see who gets it right.
09:16We are going to declare it on our page tomorrow that this Star Wars
09:21they have the eye for guessing it right.
09:23So next time you want to predict something,
09:25contact either Angelo Matthews or Umar Gul.
09:28Alright, now this is done with cricket.
09:31We have done enough for cricket.
09:33We want to see how much Bollywood both of you guys know.
09:36Since this is an Indian guy talking on show,
09:39I am going to ask you some Bollywood questions.
09:41My first question to you, Umar Gul.
09:43Tell me the name of two Shah Rukh Khan movies.
09:48Dilwale Dunhania.
09:50Or Pardes.
09:54Umar Gul has guessed it right.
09:56Dilwale Dunhania and Pardes.
09:58Angelo Matthews.
10:00Two movies of Aamir Khan.
10:04Three Idiots.
10:06Alright.
10:12Come on, I will give you a clue if you want.
10:15You want a clue?
10:17You want a clue for Aamir Khan movie?
10:18He forgets in that movie.
10:20It starts from G-A.
10:22G-A-Z-J-I-I.
10:24You have got to guess it now.
10:26I have seen it.
10:28I watched it a few times.
10:30He is bald in that movie.
10:32I have seen it.
10:34We will give it to Angelo.
10:36Gajini.
10:39Now let me come to the beautiful ladies of Bollywood.
10:42This I will ask to Angelo first.
10:45Your favourite actress, Angelo.
10:47Actress from Bollywood.
10:50Katerina Kaif.
10:52Give me two movies of her.
10:56See, I watch so many movies but I just can't.
11:00Okay, give me one movie.
11:02Give me one movie of Katerina Kaif.
11:04Her first movie.
11:05With Shah Rukh Khan.
11:07Can I?
11:09Change the question?
11:11Yeah.
11:13Juhi Chawla.
11:15Give me the name of her movie.
11:17Dil Toh Pagal Le.
11:19Juhi Chawla is not Dil Toh Pagal Le.
11:22You got it wrong.
11:24That is for Madhuri Dixit.
11:26Okay.
11:30Her first movie which was famous with Aamir Khan.
11:34Azhar, which was her first movie?
11:36Juhi Chawla and Aamir Khan.
11:38I am not able to remember.
11:40It was a hit.
11:42Have you seen that love story?
11:44I have seen almost all the movies.
11:45But I just can't remember the names.
11:47No worries.
11:49This is a chance to beat off the field.
11:52Your favourite heroine?
11:54Madhuri Dixit.
11:56You can't say Dil Toh Pagal Le because I have given you that.
11:59You have to tell me another movie of her.
12:02Devdas.
12:04Devdas. Fantastic.
12:06So, Umar Gul is one point.
12:08We have the last question.
12:10Usavar says yes.
12:12Who puts their hands up and answers, get this.
12:14So, Anish.
12:16Yes.
12:18Umar speaks a lot of Hindi.
12:20He understands Hindi.
12:22He watches a lot of Hindi.
12:24Why don't you ask him a single movie?
12:26No.
12:28You are asking me Hindi movies.
12:30And you are asking Hindi movies from Umar as well.
12:33Are you listening more times to Indian songs?
12:42Alright.
12:44Growing up, I was actually watching a lot of movies.
12:47Next time, I will keep this in mind.
12:49And we will give benefit of the doubt.
12:51But my final question.
12:53And the guy who answers quickly gets the prize.
12:58Name one Salman Khan movie.
13:00Salman Khan.
13:02Yeah, quickly.
13:041, 2, 3.
13:06You guys are not Bollywood fans.
13:08Or not Salman Khan fans.
13:10I am definitely.
13:12Angelo.
13:14Tere Naam.
13:16Tere Naam.
13:18So, I have to give it to Umar Gul.
13:20That he gets the Bollywood right.
13:22I was waiting for Angelo.
13:24No, no, no problem.
13:26You know what?
13:28This has been a brilliant show.
13:30We discussed a little bit of cricket.
13:32But we had some fun and banter.
13:34We will have to wait and watch.
13:36It's going to be a fantastic final.
13:38And we hope the best team wins.
13:40And most important, cricket will be the winner.
13:42Inshallah.
13:44I need to take a little bit for Virat Kohli's 100.
13:47One word from you, Angelo, for Virat Kohli's 100.
13:51After a long time, 1020 days.
13:53Top class.
13:55World class.
13:57Umar Gul.

14:02And it was lovely to watch.
14:04Alright, that's brilliant.
14:06Thank you very much, guys.
