Outcome is the same - India wins!
Congrats to our cricketers.
Tilak Varma produced a masterful knock to guide India to their ninth Asia Cup title, following a five-wicket win over arch-rivals Pakistan in a thrilling final here on Sunday.
Having slumped to 20 for three inside the first five overs, Tilak (69 not out off 53 balls) was collected and brave in equal measure with Sanju Samson (24) and Shivam Dube (33 off 21 balls ) proving to be intelligent support launches as India chased down 147 in 19.4 overs.
Kuldeep Yadav's spellbinding spell, which snapped 17 wickets in the tournament, left Pakistan teetering, with their last nine wickets collapsing for a mere 33 runs. Meanwhile, Tilak Varma showcased remarkable composure, steadying the ship after India's top-order stumbled.
The partnerships between Tilak Varma and his partners – Sanju Samson (57 runs) and Shivam Dube (60 runs) – were instrumental in extending India's winning streak against Pakistan in white-ball cricket.
