Playing like the No. 1 side in the world, dominant India confirmed their berth in the Super Fours of the T20 Asia Cup with a powerful, spin-fuelled masterclass against Pakistan.

In a match that seldom touched competitive levels after Salman Agha chose to bat on winning the toss at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav tied up Pakistan in knots, after which India’s deep batting line-up got to work on Sunday night, completing a seven-wicket romp with 25 deliveries to spare.
