Super Four Match 3, Asia Cup 2018, 23 Sept 2018

Off break length ball, to leg on the back foot working, leading edge to silly mid off for 1 run, shy attempt by ul-Haq. India have cruised to a 9 wicket victory in Dubai after an utterly dominant display against Pakistan. Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan completely took the game away from Sarfraz Ahmed's team in an ODI batting masterclass. Regular strike rotation was punctuated with glorious boundary hitting, as Pakistan fell apart in the field. Both Indian openers completed sensational centuries, making it look simple after the men in green had struggled with the bat earlier in the day. Jasprit Bumrah in particular was able to produce yorkers on demand to strangle the Pakistan run-scoring, but it is Sharma and Dhawan that will take the headlines.
