India vs Pakistan, Final, Asian Games 2026. Samson made just 2 off 4 balls, and he was out to a mistimed pull: Ahmed Daniyal bowled it short, Samson didn't have room, hit it high on the bat and Arafat Minhas took the catch at mid-on. It's another poor knockout game for him after being bowled for 7 in the semi-final.
