A record chase helped by sparkling KOHLI

  • India 330 for 4 (Kohli 183, Rohit 68, Tendulkar 52) beat Pakistan 329 for 6 (Hafeez 105, Jamshed 112, Younis 52) by six wickets

Their bowling might struggle to defend 289 against Bangladesh. Their batting might not be resilient enough to dominate in all conditions. But in the subcontinent, India are the masters of the chase. And after having knocked off 321 in 36.4 overs in Hobart barely three weeks ago, they completed their highest successful ODI chase, in Mirpur, against Pakistan, who are not exactly a weak bowling side. And leading the mammoth effort was that man Virat Kohli who scored a career-best 183.

Forget the obscenities, forget the extreme emotions; with 11 hundreds, including three in his last four innings, Kohli is one of the most complete ODI batsmen in the world now.

It was a good game of cricket , with both team showing pure class in batting and none of the bowler stood up with something good. 659 runs scored today.. A batsman day surely.

Batsman day

So now Srilanka finally out of Asia Cup . Pakistan has already qualified for the final. If Bangladesh beat Srilanka in the next match then Bangladesh will qualify as their runrate will improve after the win, otherwise India will qualify and will face Pakistan who will be hungry for a win against india. Inshort a lot more to come in this Asia cup.
