Rohit Sharma's India have been slammed for "chopping and changing" as they failed to make the final of the Asia Cup Twenty20 tournament with a game to go. Pakistan's win over Afghanistan on Wednesday knocked out India from the tournament, which was a warm-up for next month's T20 World Cup.

This essentially means that the two 'Super 4' matches left -- India vs Afghanistan in Dubai today and Sri Lanka vs Pakistan also in Dubai on Friday -- are both dead rubbers.

As a result of Pakistan's win, India are out of contention for the final as Shah's two back-to-back sixes off the first two balls of the final over undid brilliant bowling by Afghanistan throughout the innings and secured Pakistan a victory with the narrowest of margins .
Pakistan fast bowler Naseem Shah smashed Afghanistan left-arm seamer Fazalhaq Farooqi for successive sixes in the last over on Wednesday to take his team to the final of the Asia Cup in a thrilling encounter. Here's a look at five memorable six-hitting moments in Pakistan's cricketing history: JAVED MIANDADMiandad's final-ball six off India's Chetan Sharma in the 1986 Austral-Asia Cup final at Sharjah still hurts India fans. Needing 246 for victory, Pakistan were in trouble at 61-3 before Miandad struck an unbeaten 116 off 114 balls.
