India vs Pakistan results: India picked up their biggest-ever win against Pakistan in the Super 4 match of the Asia Cup. The Blues set a target of 357 for their rivals, after losing only two wickets. However, Pakistan were bowled out for 128 in 32 overs, which saw them defeated by 228 runs, the biggest margin of victory for India.Â
KL Rahul and Virat Kohli shined on reserve day, with both batters registering centuries. Kuldeep Yadav managed to top the batters by picking up five wickets when Pakistan were chasing. Jasprit Bumrah also had a remarkable comeback spell against Pakistan, spending a long time out injured. His deliveries were unplayable and had a lot of swing which caught the opposition batters off guard.

Yadav registered a figure of 5/25, one of the best performances by an Indian spinner against Pakistan of all-time. For many, he was the player of the match, but the award went to Virat Kohli for his outstanding performance as he scored his 47th ODI hundred.Â
Pakistan only have two points on board in the Super 4, and are currently third in the table. They will need to defeat Sri Lanka and hope that they lose to India today to qualify for the final.
India will have a very difficult task since they only have half a day to rest. But given the fact that they played 18 overs less while bowling, they are not expected to be as fatigued.
The number one side in the world will have their chance to get revenge if they can make it to the finals of the Asia Cup. Otherwise, they will have to wait to play India in the ICC World Cup next month.
