September 23, 2018 23:26

India 208-0 (33 ovs) vs Pak 237-7 | Scorecard

Part-time spinner Shoaib Malik comes into the attack. Rohit turns the first ball on the leg side for one and Dhawan drives the third ball to long-off for a single to take his score to 99.

A single to Rohit off the last ball as Malik gives away just three runs in his first over.

In the next over, Rohit steers Afridi to thirdman for one to bring up his 7000 runs in ODIs.

Dhawan punches the second ball through the covers for a four to bring up his century in grand style, his 15th in ODIs, off 95 balls.

Two balls later, he despatches the fast bowler high into the stands over midwicket for a huge six as India race past the 200-run mark, in the 32nd over.

Dhawan has cut loose, trying to race to victory as he hammers the last ball straight down the ground, beating the fielder at mid-off.

15 runs from the Afridi over as India reach 208 for no loss in 33 overs, needing another 30 runs for victory.

Rohit looks set for a century as well, having stroked his way to 94 from 99 balls.
