IND defeat PAK by six wickets

Abhishek Sharma top-scored with 74

India stamped their authority on Pakistan yet again in the Asia Cup 2025 by winning their Super 4 clash by six wickets in Dubai yesterday.
Abhishek Sharma put up a heroic show in a 172-run chase, slamming a 39-ball 74. Sharma’s innings included five sixes and six fours. He reached the 50-run mark in 24 balls. Abhishek was ably assisted by Shubman Gill (47 off 28 balls). 
The openers put up a 100-plus stand that almost sealed the fate of Pakistan, who saw their losing streak extend against India. The match saw heated moments. Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf sledged Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill, but they were given a befitting reply by the Indian duo.
Earlier, Pakistan opener Sahibzada Farhan (58) top-scored as his team put up 171/5 in 20 overs. Shivam Dube picked two crucial wickets for India. Like in the Group A match between the two teams, there were no handshakes between the sides. (Agencies)
