COLOMBO - Virat Kohli and KL Rahul’s unbeaten centuries, followed by Kuldeep Yadav’s five-fer led India to a huge 228-run vic­tory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023 Super 4s clash on Monday. Pakistan had a mountain to climb to book their spot in the final of the Asia Cup 2023 as they were set to chase a mammoth 357 against India. Out-of-form opener Fakhar Zaman re­mained the top-scorer for Pakistan amid their dismal batting show with a scratchy 27 off 50 balls. Besides them, none of their bat­ters could make it to the double figures and Pakistan, consequently, could raise 128-8. He scored his 47th ODI century, second most ODI centuries and completed his 13000 ODI runs, be­coming only the fifth player to do so.
