Asia Cup 2008 - Kapali's 115 runs over shadowed by Raina's 116 runs

Asia Cup 2008 - India Vs Bangladesh, National Stadium, Karachi. Another blistering knock by young players and the result is same. Seems to me that its a IPL mindset which help them to achieve 300 near target so easily. I do not think that earlier we were used to see so many sixes in one day international. But now almost 10 to 12 sixes in a match is a common thing.


Indian batting innings again decorated by Suresh Raina and superb and composed Gautam Gambhir. Although India had poor start and their first two wickets fall at the score of 56 runs only. But Raina and Gambhir give the strength to Indian innings and carried the match to win.


Gautam Gambhir's batting had every thing ... timing, superb shot selection, finding gaps easily. He scored 90 runs off just 84 balls (10 Fours and 1 Six) and his partner Suresh Raina scored unbeaten 116 runs off 107 balls (11 Fours and 3 Sixes)


Bangladesh fielding also played a crucial role in Indian win. In the field they missed some vital catches of dangerous Gambhir and Raina.


India so far unbeaten in this tournament so far and won their all three matches. But the crucial match will be when India meet with Sri Lanka.
