The Indian cricket team has now qualified for the super 4s of Asia Cup after beating Nepal by 10 wickets through the DLS method. India’s first match against Pakistan, ended as a draw and was abandoned due to rain. India will now encounter Pakistan once again on 10 September from 3 PM IST in Colombo.
“Not really (happy with the knock), some nerves to start with but once I got my eye in, I wanted to get the team home. That was not intentional (the flick-sweep), I wanted to chip it over short fine but the bats these days are so good. Luckily we got to bat in the first game and bowl in this, so that made it a complete game for us. Still have a lot to work on.
“A lot of guys coming back from injuries and they need time to get back into the groove. Hardik and Ishan were very good in the last game to get us to that score. The bowling was okay today but the fielding was bad, we need to improve on that,” Rohit Sharma
“We shouldn’t say the Asia Cup is between India and Pakistan”, Rohit Sharma

“When we came here, in the back of our mind we knew what our (World Cup) 15 would look like, except maybe one or two spots. The Asia Cup was not going to give us a better picture because it was only two games”, Rohit Sharma.
