Asia Cup 2018: Remembering 5 records before heading into the tournament

#4 The biggest margin of win (India, 256 runs vs Hong Kong in Asia Cup 2008)

India is the holder of the record of the biggest win in the tournament as they beat Hong Kong by 256 runs back in 2008

Here are only two instances of winning a team in the Asia Cup by a margin of 200 runs or more. India is the holder of the record of the biggest win in the tournament as they beat Hong Kong by 256 runs back in 2008.

India scored 374 runs for 7 wickets in Karachi. MS Dhoni and SK Raina hit centuries while registering a 166-run stand at the fourth wicket. Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag scored two fifties while opening the run-fest for India.

Hong Kong found themselves thrown out of the race by India just after concluding the first innings of the match, and were completely outplayed when they got all-out scoring only 118. Piyush Chawla, the leg-break-bowler took 4 scalps for India on the contest.

India won the match by that big margin of 256 runs and that is still the record of the biggest win of a team in Asia Cup. Remember this record and see if any can make it bigger in the upcoming edition of the tournament.
