India thrash Pakistan, end rivalry debate:
In a closely contest game in Dubai on Sunday, India secured a 5 wicket win with a crucial 69 run knock (off 53 balls) by Tilak Varma. After winning the toss and deciding to field first in Dubai, things didn't exactly go India's way as the Pakistani openers took the attack to the Indian bowelers and looked in complete control around the 10-11 overs mark.
Spinner Varun Chakravarthy brought India back into the game with his crucial two wickets of Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman. Kuldeep Yadav then completely demolished the Pakistan middle order as he took 4 wickets in the space of 8 balls.
Eventually, Pakistan were bowled out in the last over of the match with Jasprit Bumrah dismissing Mohammad Nawaz.
However, things weren't exactly smooth sailing for the Indian side as well with the Men in Blue losing three quick wickets inside the first four overs with just the score of 20 runs on the board. From there on Tilak stitched a partnership, first with Sanju Samson and then with Shivam Dube to take the Indian team to victory in the Asia Cup.
This was the record extending ninth Asia Cup trophy for the Men in Blue. Tilak Varma was justifiably iven player of the match award for his crucial knock while Abhishek Sharma was named the player of the series.
