Commentary

For now, it's Soumarya Dutta, taking your leave on behalf of my friend Mohul Bhowmick. See you soon.

Right so, India A continue their unbeaten run in this ACC Men's Emerging Asia Cup and it was yet another incredible effort from them. They will be facing off against an experienced Bangladesh A side in the semifinals now and it will be a real challenge for them as quite a few of those players in that Bangladesh team have prior international experience. Pakistan on the other hand will be back again in the first semifinal as they take on hosts Sri Lanka and that would be another cracker of a contest.

Yash Dhull, India Captain - The wicket got easier to bat on in the second half of the match and with our opening partnership doing so well, it became really easy for me. The all rounders have been doing really well for us and Manav Suthar has backed them up really well. Hangargekar was excellent today. Riyan Parag bowls a variety of off spinners and it has been beneficial for us. The environment in the dressing room has been really good. The only thing we can look to improve on is to take more wickets in the middle overs, where we have sort of allowed the opposition to get away a little bit.

Mohammad Haris (Pakistan captain): We did not read the wicket too well and suffered as a result. We had to build partnerships but somehow we could not get them. I tried to be a little aggressive but it wasn't easy to do so at all. We need to finish well in the batting department. We have done with the ball but batting-wise we have to do well. Sri Lanka are the hosts but we are here to win the Asia Cup and will do our best against them.

Sai Sudharsan (Player of the Match): I am focussing a lot more on playing risk-free shots. Taking singles was also important. It was a bit dicey against the spinners but the ball was coming nicely onto the bat against the seamers. It was a challenging wicket to bat on. We are taking it game-by-game. It has been fantastic to play with Abhishek Sharma- I have admired him for a long time.

India A 210/2 from 36.4 overs
Sai Sudharsan 104 *(110) | Mubashir Khan 1/45
Nikin Jose 53(64) | Mehran Mumtaz 1/58

An absolutely thumping victory for India A against the arch rivals and defending champions Pakistan and it was an outstanding run chase from them. They romped home easily in the end with more than 8 wickets and 13 overs in hand. The run chase was set up on the back of an excellent opening partnership between Sai Sudharsan and Abhishek Sharma that set the platform for India A early on.

Sharma threw his wicket away playing a loose shot post which Nikin Jose joined forces with the left handed Sai Sudharshan. The duo kept milking the singles and picked the boundaries whenever necessary. Jose was slightly lucky early on as there were a couple of stumping chances of him that the Pakistan skipper and keeper missed. However once he had his eye in he was superb with his batting prowess and scored a well crafted 50.

Once he was dismissed, Yash Dhull came in and ensured that the remainder of the runs was scored easily. However, it was Sai Sudharshan who played an incredible knock of 104 not out and anchored the chase from the very beginning. He played a variety of shots and was particularly severe against anything that was bowled short to him. It was a brilliant innings in a tough game and he has definitely shown why he is rated so highly.

The Pakistanis leaked a lot of runs early on as India A got off to a flyer in the first 5 overs. Once they had conceded those early runs, they had to keep playing catch up throughout the rest of the innings as India scored their runs with ease. They used four spinners and two of them, Mubashir and Mumtaz picked up a wicket apiece but they weren't really able to create the pressure on the Indians. In the end, it was all too easy for India as they cruised home with a lot of time to spare.

India A win by 8 wickets and 80 balls to spare!

37.0

36.4 Shahnawaz Dahani to Sai Sudharsan, SAI SUDHARSAN GETS HIS CENTURY AND INDIA BEAT PAKISTAN! At a length outside off. Sai leansi in and lofts it over the long off fence for a massive hit to seal the deal for his country! In the process, he gets to his century as well!

200 comes up for India A and Sudharsan is just 2 runs shy of his 100! Dahani's short ball tactic is working to his advantage.

36.3 Shahnawaz Dahani to Sai Sudharsan, SIX! BOOM! Short on off and middle. Sai swivels in the crease and pulls it away over the deep square leg fence for a massive hit! Both India and Sai need two runs now...

36.2 Shahnawaz Dahani to Sai Sudharsan, short outside off, rises well. Sai pulls at it but does not connect too well!

36.1 Shahnawaz Dahani to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR! Short of a length outside off. Sai swivels in the crease and pulls it away over the midwicket fielder for a boundary! Just eight to go now.

Sudharsan needs another 12 runs to get to his 100 and it's also what India A need to seal off this game. This should be an interesting couple of overs as the left hander tries to get to the landmark.
