Asia Cup 2018: Super-4s, Match 3, India vs Pakistan – Statistical Highlights

India became the first team to make it to the final of the Asia Cup 2018 thanks to a convincing 9-wicket win over Pakistan who will now face Bangladesh in a virtual semi-final match. Much like the group stage game, Pakistan collapsed after electing to bat first.

However, Shoaib Malik’s fifty helped them finish on 237/7 in their 50 overs which India chased down without breaking a sweat. Shikhar Dhawan marched his way through to a 100-ball 114 while the skipper Rohit Sharma remained unbeaten on 111 as India completed the chase with 63 balls to spare.

All the major stats and numbers recorded during India’s biggest ODI win over Pakistan:
