It was just the kind of start India needed, especially before the big-ticket clash against Pakistan on Sunday
The UAE having a tough time against T20 world champions India was pretty much on the cards. That’s exactly what transpired at the Dubai International Stadium on Wednesday.
In their Asia Cup opener, India’s bowlers made merry, bundling the home team out for a paltry 57 in just 13.1 overs. Thereafter, openers Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill, pairing up for the first time since the end of last year’s Zimbabwe tour, unleashed strokes at will against the equally hapless UAE bowlers.
India reached the small target in only 4.3 overs to romp to a nine-wicket victory.
It was just the kind of start India needed, especially before the big-ticket clash against Pakistan on Sunday.
