Rohit, Dhawan give India a good start

September 19, 2018 21:36

India 46-0 (8 ovs) vs Pak 162 | Scorecard

Amir looking to emulate the Indian pacers and keep things tight with the new ball and build up some pressure.

But Dhawan knows India have a lot of time in hand as he watchfully plays out a maiden over from Amir.

Usman also follows it up with another quiet over, giving away just two singles.

Rohit breaks the shackles with back to back fours off Amir. A slightly short ball is cut past point before Rohit drills the next perfectly in the gap through the covers for successive boundaries.

A single to Rohit off the last ball makes it 10 runs from the over.

He then takes on Usman in the following over with a couple of sixes and a four.

Usman tries a short ball as Rohit goes for the pull but gets a top edge which goes over the fine leg fence for a six.

He tries another short ball as Rohit, who is waiting on the backfoot, pulls it past short fine leg for a four. And to Pakistan's horror Usman has overstepped to give away a free hit.

Usman again tries the short ball as Rohit despatches the free hit delivery over midwicket for another six.

19 runs from the over as India race to 46 for no loss after eight overs, with Rohit on 32 and Dhawan on 13.
