In a Super 4 match of the Asia Cup held in Colombo on Monday, India dominated Pakistan, securing a resounding 228-run victory. Pakistan's Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah, both sidelined with injuries, did not have a chance to bat. Virat Kohli and K L Rahul were the heroes for India, each scoring unbeaten centuries, propelling the team to a formidable total of 356 for two. This marked India's joint-highest score against Pakistan in ODIs. In response, Pakistan faltered, managing just 128 runs in 32 overs before being all out. Kuldeep Yadav emerged as the standout bowler for India, claiming a five-wicket haul. The match resumed after an inspection, with no overs deducted from the chase. Shardul Thakur made an early breakthrough, dismissing Mohammad Rizwan as he edged one to KL Rahul behind the stumps.
