India beat pakistan after 20 year in asia cup

Team India registered their first win against Pakistan in the Asia Cup since 1988.
5 overs to spare against the arch-rivals in the Asia Cup cricket tournament here tonight. Salman Butt and Shoaib Malik started the inning and make 90 runs in 21.


With Sehwag and Raina on fire, India cruised to 301 for four in only 42. 1 overs after Pakistan appeared to have set a competitive target by making 299 for four.
Despite putting up a huge total for the visitors to chase, Pakistan failed to restrict the Men in Blue as Suresh Raina and Virender Sehwag played blistering strokes to beat the archrivals. Malik didn't field after retiring with cramps while pacer Umar Gul also went off with a rib cage injury after sending down just 1.
Malik then got retired hurt and then Pakistan any how managed to make 299 runs in their allotted 50 overs.
