Asia Cup Super 4 stage. A 40 run win against minnows Hong Kong, who are ranked 20th in the ICC T20I team rankings also meant that India finished as the toppers of Group A, with 2 wins in their two league stage matches. So far this edition of the Asia Cup, which is only the second edition of the tournament that is being played in the T20 format after the one in 2016, has produced some great cricket overall.
Suryakumar Yadav said he is flexible enough to bat anywhere in the Indian T20 team, having turned out for the Men in Blue in various roles, including opening the innings. Suryakumar scored a scintillating 26-ball 68 not out to pave the way for India's 40-run win over Hong Kong and sail into the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup on Wednesday.
Hong Kong put in a spirited display even as they went down by 40 runs to India in the Asia Cup on Wednesday. And while the result may have been a disappointing one, the night became one to remember for Hong Kong batter Kinchit Shah. After the match, Kinchit went up to the stands at the Dubai International Stadium to surprise his girlfriend and then got down on one knee to pop the question. She looked completely taken aback by the proposal and was heard repeatedly saying "I can't believe this" as Kinchit waited patiently, a large grin on his face.
Suryakumar Yadav produced on T20I classic in Dubai on Wednesday as he hit 6 fours and 6 sixes in his 26-ball unbeaten stay in the middle and scored 68 scintillating runs to help India post a mammoth 192/2 against Hong Kong. He shared an unbeaten partnership with Virat Kohli as the duo helped India bounce back from a slow start. Both batters scored half-centuries and helped India win the match easily and enter the Super stage.
The 26-year-old, known for his big hitting exploits, has played 14 T20Is for Singapore in 2019 to 2020, averaging 46.5 with the bat. But under ICC rules, he is eligible to play for Australia immediately. David has made a name for himself in the shortest format of the game by plying his trade in T20 leagues across the world.
India beat arch-rivals Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday, following which hundreds of India cricket fans poured into the streets of the Belgrave area of Leicester — which is predominantly Indian-origin — waving the Indian flag, honking car horns and dancing to dhols. A video, which has gone viral, shows one group of India fans, one wearing a Team Indian jersey, walking towards the corner of Shaftesbury Avenue and Melton Road, shouting “Pakistan Murdabad” at the other side of the road. A police officer can be seen arresting one person on the ground and then the video shows a group beating up a man and ripping off his shirt.
Asia Cup here in UAE has been around how the conditions have become as good as home conditions for India and Pakistan. However, as Afghanistan roared into the Super 4s here in the Asia Cup after beating Bangladesh on Tuesday, captain Mohammad Nabi declared this is his team's territory more than any other team. "Since the last 15 years, most of the times we have played in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, we know the conditions well. Sometimes in Sharjah a low total is tough to chase, that's why in a low chase the batsmen didn't throw early wickets and at the end we targeted the bowlers and won the game," Nabi said after the match before adding: "As a team in this Asia Cup we are showing that Afghanistan have quality batsmen, quality bowlers and quality fielders."
Hong Kong cricket team on Wednesday sent star Indian batter Virat Kohli a heartfelt message and gifted him a team jersey. Suryakumar Yadav's blistering 68 not out and Virat Kohli's unbeaten 59 helped India secure qualification to the Super Four stage of the ongoing T20 Asia Cup, as the Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue defeated Hong Kong by 40 runs here at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday. The message on the jersey gifted by Hong Kong players read: "Virat, Thank you for inspiring a generation. We stand with you! There are many incredible days ahead. With strength. With love. Team Hong Kong."
