Dhawan, Rohit dominate; India set for easy win

September 23, 2018 23:18

India 190-0 (31 ovs) vs Pak 237-7 | Scorecard

Dhawan rocks back and slaps a short ball from Nawaz through the covers for a four, followed by three singles as India continue to cruise towards victory.

The spinners have been poor for Pakistan in the middle overs. Rohit gently drives a full toss down the long-on for a single. The next ball is short as Dhawan cuts it through point for a four to race into the 90s.

This is into a no-contest as India race to 179 for no loss in 30 overs, with another 59 needed for victory in 20 overs at under three per over.

Left-arm pacer Afridi comes back into the attack. The second ball is on the pads which Rohit clips fine for two runs and then pulls the next ball behind square on the leg side for a four as he also takes his score into the 90s.

The last ball is short as Dhawan cuts it uppishly over point for a boundary as he closes in on his century to get 11 from the over.
