Asia Cup : India outlasts Pakistan by nine wickets

After winning a toss, Pakistan skipper come up with the surprising decision yet again as they opt to bat. I don't know what the think tank is going to prove. As usual with hot and humidit condition of Dubai, Indian fast bowlers struggles to swing the bowl as it happened through out the tournament. But they maintain there line length so at least the reward was come up with 3 wickets almost in no time.

Than the skipper sarfaraz and experienced Malik stabilized the inning but unable to do the final touch as disciplined effort from fielder and bowlers kept India in well sound position as Pakistan only managed 237 per 7 after 50 overs.

In reply one of the formidable pair of Rohit and Shikhar starts the Indian chase in style as they outclass the pakistan attck which was led by Mohammad Amir. Pair has come up with the shots of the book and set the mammoth opening partnership of 210 runs before the Shikhar got run out on 114 with 16 fours and 2 huge sixes. Meanwhile Indian standing skipper Rohit completed his 7000 runs in ODI cricket in 181 innings just behind Kohli and Ganguly. With Rohit's 19th tonn India thump over Pakistan with the comfortable 9 wicket win with 10 overs and 3 balls to spare.

Now the game of Pakistan vs Bangladesh will be the virtual semifinal on 26th of Sep. as India already registered its place in the finale of asia cup 2018.
