India, who are already in the final, made three changes to their side, replacing Ashish Nehra, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Harbhajan Singh and debutant Pawan Negi. Here's Negi receiving his ODI cap from Team India director Ravi Shastri.
India thrashed United Arab Emirates by 9 wickets in an inconsequential round-robin match of the Asia Cup Twenty20 tournament on Thursday March 03,2016
With this win, India top the Asia Cup points table and go into the final against Bangladesh, without losing a single match.
With Thursday's win over the UAE,India have won 9 matches while in years 2012 and 2007 they won 8 and 6 respectively.
Chasing just 82 runs to win, Rohit Sharma was on song from the word go
in his innings of 39 (28 Balls 4x7 and 6x1)and was caught by Mohammad Naveed as third man off the
bowling of Qadeer Ahmed when he went for a cut shot
Shikhar Dhawan (16 not out) got a life early in the innings, when he
was caught behind but despite a huge shout from UAE, the umpire did not
move. Dhawan remained unbeaten but was not at all fluent.
Yuvraj
Singh, who made his way to the crease after the fall of Rohit - finished
with an unbeaten 25 (14 Balls 4x4 and 6x1)He played
some breathtaking shots in his innings and made sure that India reach
the target in just 10.1 overs
Earlier, put to bowl first - Indian bowlers put up a superb display
to restrict UAE to a paltry total of 81/9. Shaiman Anwar top-scored with
43(48 Balls 4x3 and 6x1)
The UAE kept struggling from the beginning as
Indian pacers Bhuvneshwar and Jasprit Bumrah kept bowling right line and
length.
Bhuvneshwar (2/8), Bumrah (1/23), Hardik Pandya (1/11),
Harbhajan Singh (1/11), Pawan Negi (1/16) and Yuvraj Singh (1/10) were
all among the wickets.
Such was Indian bowlers domination that they
bowled 77 dot deliveries in 20 overs
UAE won the toss and chose to bat first
