In the Asia Cup, the Indian team secured a convincing victory over Pakistan in the Super 4 round by a margin of 228 runs. In this match, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul played century partnerships for Team India, while Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma contributed with half-centuries. On the other hand, Pakistan's captain, Babar Azam, couldn't make a significant impact, scoring only 10 runs in the One Day International (ODI) match. Apart from Babar, only three other Pakistani batsmen managed to reach double figures.
Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar strongly criticized Pakistan's batting performance in an interview. He questioned the depth in Pakistan's batting lineup and asked, "How many batsmen do Pakistan have apart from Babar Azam, especially in the batting department?"
Gavaskar also discussed how the opposition teams formulate strategies against Pakistan's batting lineup. He stated, "When the opposition team's bowlers sit down to plan, they spend a lot of time figuring out ways to dismiss Babar. I don't think they would be spending even half that time on the other batsmen. None of them is such that they would intimidate the opposition bowlers."
To summarize the match, India defeated Pakistan by 228 runs in a rain-affected encounter that spanned two days. The match began on Sunday, September 10, but due to rain interruptions, it couldn't be completed in a single day. India managed to score 147 runs in 24.1 overs before play was halted. The match was continued on Monday as a reserve day. The Indian team continued their innings and posted a total of 356 runs in 50 overs. In response, Pakistan's team could only manage to score 128 runs in 32 overs, with Nasim Shah and Haris Rauf unable to contribute with the bat. Consequently, Team India emerged victorious by a margin of 228 runs.
